Episode 30: When the Holidays Don’t Feel Merry

In this episode Jennifer shares what the holidays were like for her during her fertility journey, and the specific tools, boundaries and practices that helped her manage the season. 

Key topics discussed: 

• Figuring out what was supportive for me, instead of pushing myself into traditions or gatherings that made me feel worse. 
• Boundaries will support you, and how to set boundaries you can actually hold. 
• Maybe it’s time to create your own traditions, this year or ongoing. 
• Self-care isn’t selfish. Learn to prioritize self-care without guilt.
• Do you need to be helped, heard or hugged? 
• The holidays may bring a range of feelings, some uncomfortable. Let your emotions move through you instead of judging them. 
• In a time that might feel out of control, focus on what you can control.
• Cultivate a connection with gratitude. 

Sending you so much love this holiday season. xo
