And That’s Okay! Navigating Loneliness Around The Holidays

The holidays are often painted as a time of joy and togetherness, but for some, it can feel isolating and heavy. Maybe you’re missing a loved one, navigating strained family relationships, or simply feeling disconnected in the midst of all the celebration. And you know what? That’s okay. We’re going to explore this feeling together, reflect on why it happens, and talk through practical, meaningful steps to find comfort and connection during this time.

Today, we’ve explored the reality of holiday loneliness and validated that it’s okay to feel this way. We’ve reflected on how the season’s expectations can sometimes amplify our sense of disconnection. And we walked through five action steps to help you navigate these feelings:

1.    Create your own traditions.

2.    Reach out intentionally.

3.    Honor your feelings.

4.    Practice presence.

5.    Find joy in small moments.
