Finding Strength During the Holidays: Matt and Brindy Quackenbush's Guide
You need something different to happen, especially this time of year, because if you just ignore the suffering that comes with loss and grief and trauma, that suffering only compounds and becomes worse until it's festered, and you can't ignore it anymore. It just helps you move through it exactly.
Holidays can be a mixed bag of emotions, especially if you're dealing with loss, grief, or trauma. In this heartfelt episode of the Finding Strength Podcast, hosts Matt and Brindy Quackenbush, along with guest Bethany Tenney, share their personal journeys and offer practical advice to help you navigate this challenging time of year. They talk about the power of self-kindness and how creating new traditions can honor the memory of loved ones.
