Happy Thanksgiving - Listen On Your Way To Dinner + Be Ready To Face That One Uncle... You know the one

The holiday season is a time of mixed emotions, as it can be both wonderful and challenging. In this episode we explore the duality of this special time of year. We discuss the importance of understanding that not everyone experiences the holidays in the same way, and how to navigate conversations with difficult family members with empathy and compassion without losing yourself.

We also delve into the idea of redefining holiday traditions to make the holidays your own, even if it means upsetting some family members. Your well-being is paramount, and feeling comfortable and joyful during the holidays should be a priority. We share practical tips for setting boundaries, seeking support, and practicing self-care to make the most of this holiday season.

Join us as we explore the complexities and joys of the holidays, providing insights and strategies to help you find joy and resilience during this special time of year. Whether you're celebrating with loved ones or instead with your chosen family of friends, this episode offers guidance on how to navigate the holidays in a way that feels right for you.

Hi, Im Melanie! I am a student and teacher of the human condition. My work as a trauma therapist, my personal healing journey and spirituality have been my source(s) of wisdom. I believe we all have everything we need to heal inside of us. My role as a therapist and fellow human, is to provide space and opportunity to help others connect back to this internal wisdom. We are our own healers!

I'm excited to contribute to this project and help create a deeper conversation around mental health and how humor can be both a mask to our pain and a way through it. I hope these conversations resonate and you enjoy them as much as we did! Much love - Melanie
