It's [Not Always] the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Manage episode 350479058 series 3285339
Ho, Ho, Help! It’s the holidays again!
Join Wren and Cait for their second episode together as our previous cohost, Brittany, steps away from the podcast to prioritize her health.
Wren and Cait continue to have the hard and necessary discussions around having an MBC diagnosis. Although, it's supposed to be the "most wonderful time of the year," today's episode dives into the many hardships one may be facing during the holiday season;- grieving the loss of a loved one and/or your pre-cancer life- suffering from strained family relationships- increased or heightened anxiety and depression- juggling being immunocompromised in a world of many viruses- balancing holiday cheer and holiday fear as a thriver- the paranoia of treatment and/or scans falling on the days leading up to Christmas - the financial burden that comes with the many unrealistic high expectations of the "picture perfect" Christmas - and the list goes on and on!
We must remind ourselves to protect our peace at all costs and to put ourselves first! We're talking ALL the things, so don't forget to tune in and subscribe! On behalf of the Living Our Breast Lives cohosts, give yourself grace this holiday season and be proud of how far you have come.
