The Holidays are a stressful time of year for everybody, but when a person is grieving about loss or struggling with difficult circumstances, the pressure can be more than we can bear. In this special cohost conversation episode of Relentlessly Resilient, hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf share their insights on adapting their Christmas and New Years’ celebrations away from the pressure of the “should” and into a meaningful but scaled festive season they can handle. Tips like: having a list of go-to ‘SOS friends’ you can turn to for help, creating backup plans, allowing yourself to respectfully say no, and making realistic goals for the New Year. They have some great advice for resiliency amid the hectic holidays and beyond. 

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
