Have you ever felt hesitant to embrace holiday traditions?

Well, you're not alone, my friends, and this episode of Preserve Your Past is all about understanding, navigating, and even reveling in the shifting and adjusting of holiday traditions. We explore how life's inevitable changes, including loss and major transitions, can affect our approach to holidays. We discuss the power of journaling and meditating as tools to uncover what lies beneath these feelings, encouraging you to introspect and find your own path to creating new traditions irrespective of circumstances.

We extend our conversation beyond the holiday season and into the realm of preserving our past through personal stories. We believe in the power of narratives and the role they play in connecting us to our past, and in this episode, I share anecdotal snippets from my own family's evolving traditions. We wrap up with a heartfelt expression of gratitude to our dedicated listeners and an invitation to continue cherishing and creating memories, despite the ebb and flow of traditions. So, come along, and join the discussion.
