Today we tackle what Caitlin refers to as the "cheerful nostalgia and heart-wrenching sorrow" the holidays can bring. For so many of us, this particular time of year comes with a lot of guilt and pressure, hard memories or sadness that the present doesn't look quite like we think it should. Together we process what makes these days hard for the both of us and generate a host of ideas for navigating these both/and days with full hearts and a lot of creative curiosity. 🖨️ You can download this little zine, print on 8.5x11 paper and fold it down for your pocket to reference when you need it. Here are directions for folding. Tune in to hear us talk about: 💔 Making space for the sadness and releasing the guilt. ✨ Grasping onto joy when we can. 🎊 Caitlin's tips on how to create new holiday traditions. 🍄 Learning to take off the pressure of a single day. 🙌 Our own experiences accidentally discovering new holiday rituals. 🌱 The pains of families evolving holiday traditions as they age, grow, and change. ⚙️ Moving away from default and toward intentional celebrations.
