Episode 89: I Hate the Holidays Without my Kids. With Lisa McGregor (founder of the Unplanned Chapter)- Special Re Air!
For those of you who are facing the holidays WITHOUT your kids, let us reassure that your feelings dread and sorrow are completely normal. Even if you're feeling mixed emotions, THAT'S completely normal.
It's a dramatic change from how things used to be. It can feel strange...empty...and just plain wrong.
We can promise you this: you WILL get through these holidays...even though they might be challenging.
Listen to this special re- air episode with our friend, Lisa McGregor, to hear her take on what she did to help herself get through those first few years...you hear Andrea weigh in as well- her take is a little different.
And here are some updated action steps from Andrea:
Let yourself feel sad. Pretending you're okay when you're not does you no favors.
Move your body. We're not asking you to run a mile, but we are asking you to go for a walk.
Do something, anything. You don't need to go our and party all night, but grabbing a fresh Starbucks at least gets you out of the house.
