Sleigh bells! Santa Claus! Cinnamon! And the blood of a thousand armadillos! This episode is all about thriving - and not just surviving - this holiday season.

ABOUT EPISODE 17: Holly Jolly, Melancholy!

For a lot of people, the holidays can be A LOT. This part of the year can be a complicated cocktail of nostalgia and change, where expectations and traditions often clash. Stir in a bit of family drama, a dash of seasonal depression, and a sprinkle or two of winter travel delays…and you’ve got a recipe for holiday burnout.  But no matter how you’re feeling about the holidays this year, Friday Candy the Podcast is here to swat the humbugs away and help you thrive during this special season!

SHOW CREDITS

Friday Candy was created and hosted by Ashlyn and Austin Sailsbury. That’s Us!
