S.4, Ep3 - Why I don't always go home for the holidays


Listen Later

Going home for the holidays is a great feeling for some. But for others, it’s a feeling of discomfort and even dread. Choosing to not go home for the holidays or visit some people can be a decision that comes with a lot of feelings - doubt, guilt, frustration, and burn out. This used to be my emotional experience. Since then, I’ve done a lot of work to honor my goals, growth, and happiness during the holiday season. You can too.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • The reason I don’t always go home for the holidays (or any other event, etc.)

  • The two main factors that contribute to my reason

  • The honest truth about what really creates your happiness during the holidays
