It’s the holiday season and here at "And Now, Love," our host Cynthia Marks and long-time guest Dr. Loren Weiner kick off the holiday spirit by exploring the emotional complexities that often accompany this cold time of year. They discuss the heightened family tensions, the pressure to maintain traditions, and the struggle of balancing self-care with familial expectations. Loren provides practical advice on setting boundaries, managing disappointment, and approaching family gatherings with empathy and realistic expectations. The conversation also touches on the experiences of those who feel lonely during the holidays and the importance of self-compassion and community awareness. This thoughtful dialogue encourages listeners to prioritize their well-being while remaining mindful of the emotions and challenges faced by others.
