A 2015 American Psychological Association poll found that more than 8 of every 10 Americans anticipate stress over the holidays.

BGF began to wonder how these statistics factor for women of color. How do our relationships to holidays impact our mental health and wellness?

In this episode, we share our experiences with holiday anxiety and how we protect our mental health during the season. We talk about boundaries around gift giving, grief during the holidays, family traditions, budgeting, and more.

Happy Holidays from Brown Girl Feels!

Welcome to Brwngrl Feels, a podcast on mental health and wellness by and for women of color. In this episode, your hosts Ck, Nikki, and Jeni share their thoughts on mental health, representation, and their favorite wellness practices. **NOTE: at 18:54, Ck accidentally says, “heritage month.” The correct title is “Filipino American History Month” in order to focus on the experiences, contributions, and stories of the FilAm community.
