S2 Ep. 33: Holidays

For many, the holidays symbolize happiness, love, and togetherness. However, beneath the festive lights and joyous carols, there exists a world of high expectations, leading to potential disappointment or even depression.

The challenge is even greater for those in the neurodiverse community. The sudden shift in daily routines, combined with the unpredictability of gatherings, can be incredibly overwhelming. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle, the importance of self-care is often forgotten.

In today’s episode, we explore the vast chasm between our holiday expectations and the reality we face. More importantly, we’ll discuss ways to navigate this season, ensuring that we not only take time for ourselves – be it through nutritious food or a quiet moment of reflection – but also truly embrace and relish the festive spirit.
