The holidays end, the lights come down, and suddenly the quiet hits harder than expected. In this episode, we talk honestly about seasonal sadness, holiday grief, and the many ways loss shows up when the world turns gray.

Through personal stories—including the sudden passing of a beloved aunt just days before Christmas—we explore grief tied to weather, loneliness, disrupted traditions, and the lives we thought we’d be living by now. We unpack Seasonal Affective Disorder, post-holiday lows, and the kind of faith that’s rooted in compassion, not judgment.

This conversation reframes control—not over what happens, but over how we respond. We talk therapy as regular maintenance (not a crisis-only option), and share practical tools you can actually use on hard days: breathwork, short meditations, journaling, prayer, nervous system resets, and community check-ins. We also widen the definition of grief to include body changes, identity shifts, surgeries, moves, and dreams that didn’t land—because loss isn’t a competition, and it all deserves care.

If you’re navigating January heaviness, seasonal depression, or quiet grief, you’re not broken—you’re human. Feel what needs to be felt. Then choose one small practice to anchor the day and one person to reach out to. Feelings are weather, not identity.
