The holiday season can be challenging—a time meant to be joyful often brings up feelings of loneliness and struggle, especially for those without children. In this episode, I share personal experiences, including an insight in my recent plant medicine retreat in the Colombian jungle, and offer insights on how to navigate this emotional time.

We’ll talk about:

• The challenges of loneliness during the holidays.
• How to face difficult emotions instead of escaping into distractions.
• Tips for responding to post-holiday questions about how your holidays went.
• How to offer genuine support to someone struggling during this season.

This episode is all about finding ways to hold space for yourself and others when the holidays don’t feel so festive.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Questions to ask yourself when you feel the urge to distract with your phone or other habits.
2. How to approach difficult emotions with presence and self-compassion.
3. Practical ways to navigate conversations about the holidays in a way that feels authentic and comfortable.
4. Tips for being present and supportive when someone opens up about their struggles.
