Becoming Me Permission to Be "Un-Merry" This Christmas
EPISODE 11 (BONUS)
Christmas is just around the corner, everyone seems to be merry - but are they really? Are YOU? What if you don't feel like celebrating this Christmas? Does it mean you are being a Scrooge, a Humbug?
As someone who still feels contradictory emotions every time Christmas season rolls around, I made this special episode for everyone who needs to acknowledge that they are less than happy during Christmas. I want to assure you that not wanting to celebrate in the usual way does not mean you cannot welcome the incredible gift that Christmas brings.
Come as you are, come even if you're sad, or grumpy, or just want to be left alone. Christmas is for you too!
