The holidays are often painted as a season of joy and celebration—but for many, they can also be wrapped up in grief and loss. In this episode, we talk honestly about how to show up for ourselves, and for the friends and family around us, when the season feels heavier than joyful. We are joined by grief counselor and hospital chaplain Jim Manzardo, who shares gentle guidance on navigating a tough holiday season with kindness, compassion, and care—for ourselves and for others.
