Is the most wonderful time of the year not so wonderful for you?

The holidays can actually be a very unhappy time if you dealing with increased stress, seasons of loss, or unrealistic expectations.

In this episode, Steve and Mary Alessi sit down with their daughter Lauren, who has a Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and coordinates Metro Life Church's Wellness program.

You'll learn about the dangers of staying in a state of sadness for too long and discover tips on how to manage your mental health better, including the real issue of seasonal affective disorder and how it can impact your holiday mood.

From serving the community and engaging in physical activity to planning activities with loved ones and focusing on gratitude, you'll discover effective ways to improve your mood and find reasons for joy during this potentially challenging time.
