Join Dr. Joy, Laine, and special guest Amber Harris for a conversation about staying healthy this holiday season, so that we can kick off the new year with energy and inspiration. Don’t worry, we won’t tell you to give up Christmas cookies and holiday cocktails.

In this episode, Dr. Joy and Laine explore the taboo truths of the holiday season.  We’ll give you some insight into how to navigate these complicated and sometimes emotional dynamics.

We're supposed to feel joyful and merry from mid-November through the New Year, right? Well, in reality, this time of year is tough for many of us.

Whether you're grieving a loved one, stressed about seeing family, or feeling especially isolated, the holiday season presents some unique challenges to our emotional and spiritual well-being. Join Dr. Joy and Laine as we share thoughts on how to stay grounded during the holiday hustle and bustle.

We've made significant progress in expanding access to mental health services and de-stigmatizing diagnoses. But progress often comes with complexity. 

While online therapy improves accessibility and affordability, it also raises ethical questions and opens the door for media campaigns capitalizing on the public's newfound openness. While de-stigmatizing mental health struggles represents important progress and removes barriers for some, it can also cause many of us to feel like "there's something wrong."

In this episode, Elizabeth and Laine discuss the complexities of this new age of mental health and share thoughts on how you can approach these realities with discernment.
