What We Don't Say About the Holidays
The holidays have a way of stirring everything at once.
Joy and grief.
Magic and pressure.
Nostalgia and ache.
Connection and loneliness.
In this deeply personal episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae opens a conversation many of us feel every December—but rarely say out loud.
Through heartfelt childhood stories, moments of profound loss, and the quiet emotional truths that surface during the holidays, this episode explores why this season feels so heavy… even when we’re smiling.
You’ll hear:
Why the holidays magnify both the good and the hard
How grief, expectation, and memory quietly shape our experiences
The unspoken truths so many people carry this time of year
Gentle grounding tools to help you navigate the season with more compassion and less pressure
This isn’t about forced cheer or pretending everything is okay.
It’s about honoring the complexity of being human during the holidays—and giving yourself permission to feel it all.
If you’ve ever loved the holidays and struggled through them at the same time, this episode is for you.
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to carry this season by yourself.
