In this episode, I share my experiences and thoughts on what it’s like to spend the holidays alone. I reflect on my past and remember the feelings of hopelessness and isolation I once faced during holiday seasons when I felt I had no one. My hope in sharing this story is to inspire someone who might be going through something similar.

No matter where you are or what you’re doing, please know that you are loved. Whether it’s the holidays, birthdays, or any special occasion, it’s okay to celebrate—or not celebrate—in whatever way feels right for you. It’s okay to just do you.
