SAD During the Holidays and Winter Months

Real Talk with Tina and Ann

Our latest episode offers an intimate glimpse into the dichotomy of the winter months, from the warm glow of family gatherings to the cold touch of loneliness and loss. We recount our own experiences, and share how the festivities can sometimes deepen the shadows for those grappling with grief , emotional pain or health challenges, With recollections of personal sorrow and family adjustments, we open up a space for understanding and empathy, reaching out to anyone who might be silently aching amidst the holiday cheer.
As the conversation unfolds, we shine a light on the hidden battles many face with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the valuable strategies to combat its gloom. From Tina's personal story with light therapy lamps to CBT Therapy, we offer hope and practical advice for those feeling the winter blues. Our stories extend to the classroom, where we stress the importance of empathy and connection for children facing educational challenges. We call on listeners to take small, meaningful actions that can immensely uplift someone's spirit—not just during the holidays, but all year round.
