🎄❄️ Mental Health during the holidays 🧠 🤶🏽

Welcome to our holiday special episode, where we talk about our own holiday journeys far from our birth home. 

How we maintain mental space through our particular challenges. Included in this episode are topics that impact internationals and international minded people here in Scandinavia. 

For example, dealing with expat guilt and living away from family, making new traditions, dealing with being alone, the importance of boundaries and ensuring that we can protect what is important to us. We also talk about making the festivities more climate and mental health friendly. 

For some people, the cheerfulness and excessiveness of December can be particularly challenging, how can we support ourselves through this phase and effectively show our support to others too? 

Tune in for all this and more with Agnieszka, Lana & Meghna
