Dr. Dana Harris, a board certified psychiatrist, joins us in studio to discuss how to combat the singles sadness that may surface during the holidays, which signals to look at to address what you really need in your life to feel good, how to form real connections and friendships play a part in your emotional well being, why finding a hobby may open up your skill set and your community, when saying no to others is really saying yes to yourself, why service is the best gift of all during the season of giving, how social media sand traps can be detrimental to your mental health if you compare yourself to others, why putting yourself first and facing the things that upset you is priority over doing things because “you never know,” how traditions provide a sense of security, why feeling an ick factor in a romantic setting is different from a missed connection and how to tell the difference, how we rang in the new year, a few of our resolutions and Lauren’s big reveal, while we cheers with our nightcap the Pinot More Sadness!

Talk about your feelings with Dr. Harris
