Ooof. Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve is NO JOKE. It’s like regular Vegas on steroids. As the clock struck midnight, I was nearing full meltdown status and just wanted to go home. Not the ideal way to ring in the new year! In this episode I unpack all of the things that went wrong on this trip, and give myself a little pat on the back for how well I handled it all.

Ok guys, two holidays down, one to go! On this episode I talk a bit about how the week between Christmas and New Year’s is absolute unstructured hell, as well as how the holidays can be a hard time for those of us with fractured families, and how estrangement from certain family members can feel conflicting. I’m just glad I’m back in therapy! If you’re enjoying the show, please consider leaving a rating or review on whatever platform you’re listening on.
