In episode 26, I do a solocast about how to reinvent the holidays on a fundamental level. It is totally normal to be BOTH happy & sad right now. I’m going to talk about how to deal with the difficult aspects of this time such as stress, grief, spiritual bypassing, family drama, gluttony, the lies that our holidays are based upon, and the financial strain. But onto joyful things...I give you some creative ideas for conscious gift-giving. The holidays hold the positive potential for renewal in faith, childhood nostalgia, miracles, and magic. I also talk about why New Year’s resolutions are not productive and why we especially need to take care of each other during the month of January too. I'm not trying to be a Scrooge, I just believe that it's good to operate from a place of want rather than "should".
