Why do Holidays cause so many of us so much sadness? How do we work through it?

Holidays are iconically wonderful parts of the year that are full of family, traditions, food, and fun. But what if it's not? What if you don't have a family? What if you don't have the will or energy to create a spectacular holiday for your kids? Are you still a good mom? Will your kids be mad at you?

Let me just say, I think it is MORE common for a lot of us to struggle during the holidays than any other. How could we not with expectations we put on ourselves because other people are doing it, or we are trying to compare ourselves to a mom we know that has hertogether and does everything for her kids? Family feuds and drama make us feel terrible. The family that is no longer with us, but we miss them most during the holidays.

There is a lot that tags along with the holiday season and it is OKAY IF YOU WANT TO DO IT YOUR OWN WAY without all the extras.

Let's have a chat about all the reasons we may have that can affect us during this time and what we can do to make it a little better.
