Many nonbelievers, especially those who have recently left their religion, struggle to redefine what the holidays mean to them. We'll discuss these challenges and provide ways to create your own meaningful rituals that will help you transform this time of year into a season of reason!

Kayce Hodos, LCMHS is a licensed therapist specializing in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. She recently started a coaching service to provide secular resources, support and a safe community for new nonbelievers. She lives in Wake Forest, NC, with her husband, son, and dog. 

Hosted by Amaia Perez, the RfR Online Programming Director, and Eric Wells, the RfR Support Group Director.
