Recovery and the Holiday Season: Traditions, Boundaries, and Compassion Through it All

#23:  It’s just Liz & Bryce today, with a mini episode about the holiday season that is made even more fun thanks to YOUR listener input!  

Whether or not you observe any holidays during this last stretch of the year, it’s hard to ignore the elevated energy of the season, and the many ways that can affect our recovery journey.  This conversation is brief but full of love from our hearts to yours, as we discuss the following:

• A reminder that there is no right way to feel about or navigate this season.  Your feelings are valid and worthy of compassion no matter where you are on your path.
• How Liz made a big change in her family’s traditions, and the surprising response she received when she finally said “This is what I need.” 
• Thoughts from YOU- how some of you are showing up for yourselves when there has been a need to change your environment & set boundaries.
• An invitation to lean into resources and communities that can support you- you are not alone!
