For thousands of years, people have gathered during the darkest time of year to celebrate light, warmth, and the promise of renewal. Our winter holidays—whether Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or Kwanzaa—originated as acts of hope about what would be, not celebrations of what was.
In this episode, we're reclaiming that ancient tradition of hope for modern life. You'll discover what hope actually is (hint: it's not wishful thinking), why the holidays can deplete it so quickly, and most importantly, how to actively build it this season.
