Episode 131: Navigating Holiday Emotions—An Honest, Heartfelt Conversation About Guilt, Nostalgia, and Exhaustion with Author & Spiritual Director Anjuli Paschall
Do the holidays bring a mix of joy and complicated emotions for you?
We're supposed to feel grateful, and parts of us do. But other parts of us feel nostalgic, driven by guilt, exhausted, or even angry. In this honest, vulnerable conversation, author and spiritual director Anjuli Paschall joins me to explore the emotions that surface during the holiday season. We talk about how to navigate these feelings with grace, and how these emotions can be gifts in disguise. We cover. . .
* How to distinguish between true guilt and false guilt
* The surprising connection between anger and exhaustion
* Why nostalgia can be both comforting and bittersweet
* Practical ways to honor all your feelings during this emotionally complex season
* Anjuli’s practice of praying through complicated emotions and finding God’s presence in them
