Ho Ho Hooooold up! The holidays aren’t so happy for everyone. People are dealing with all sorts of pain this time of year and sometimes our cheer and joy spreading just doesn’t work. In this video, I suggest another practice to keep in mind during this time of year: listening and empathy. And, if you are the person struggling, I offer to you my own memory of how sharing my pain with a trusted few led me to high spirits.

Please enjoy!

Oh! Here’s the link to the video from Brene Brown I mentioned: https://youtu.be/1Evwgu369Jw
