The Winter is a season that is full of a lot of ups and downs. We have the holidays which can feel exciting but also frantic and stressful at times. We then move into a period of Winter that can feel depressing, with Blue Monday and the Winter blahs setting in. This is why I wanted to speak with today’s guest, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Miranda Barker. She is going to help us to find tools to deal with these challenging situations and hopefully come out of winter healthy and strong!
