We are just a couple weeks away from Thanksgiving here in the U.S., and then, of course, the Christmas season and Hanukkah, and lots of festivities, traditions, family gatherings, shopping and all the things, right?

There’s something magical about this time of year, but often receiving and giving love, hope, joy, peace during the holidays is easier said than done. Quickly this time of year can feel like ‘tis the season to feel stressed out, anxious, lonely, depressed, frustrated by family, disappointed and broke or in debt.

In our latest bonus episode, co-hosts Nicole Smithee and Alexandra Brown explore:

  • How to address grief, loss and depression this time of year
  • How to manage stress
  • What to do when family dynamics are less than ideal
  • How to draw near to God this season
  • Ways to care for yourself during this often time

Whether you are thrilled for the holidays to come, feeling lots of mixed emotions, or already stressed out by your holiday to-do list, this episode will provide practical ways to make the most of this season while prioritizing your mental health.
