A Holiday Message from Us

The holidays can stir up a full range of emotions, especially when you are carrying the weight of relational pain or the uncertainty of the healing process. In this episode, we step away from our usual structure and simply sit with you, offering a personal message of support for the weeks ahead.

We talk about giving yourself permission to be where you are, without pressure to feel a certain way or perform a picture perfect holiday season. We explore the importance of honoring your yes and your no, creating space for relief, grief, joy, overwhelm, and everything in between. We also speak directly to those walking through separation, fresh discovery, or ongoing tension during a time that is supposed to feel warm and connected.

Our hope is that this conversation feels like sitting at our kitchen table with us. You get to be honest about what you are holding this year, and you get to build the holiday you can manage, not the one you think you should create.

You will hear us talk about: 

• Giving yourself permission to be exactly where you are this season

• Why pressure to be okay makes the holidays harder

• How to identify a strong yes and a strong no

• Ways couples can coordinate and protect their relational needs

• Support for those not spending the holidays in familiar or expected ways

• The unpredictability of grief and how naming emotions brings relief

• Allowing joy without guilt, even while doing deep work

• Why small moments of peace matter when you are carrying a lot
