THE SOUL ENCHILADA PODCAST
REAL, RAW, AND RELEVANT DEEP DIVES
INTO YOUR HOT MESSES
Laura Busse and Christine Ruth M.Div.,MS,LMFT
Let's talk about how to get through holidays when they’re full of holes. These holes can be in the form of an empty seat at the table from a new loss, an old loss that continues to blindside us this time every year, or even just our own unmet expectations for how things should turn out.
We never really “fill” those holes, but we can avoid getting trapped in them by giving ourselves permission to grieve… the way WE need to and on our OWN timeline.
How do we find the “why” in our lives? It’s a tough question on our best days. But what about after major life changes, like a death, a divorce, a job loss, or in Laura’s case this week: a charging moose?
​
Happy Mother’s Day!!!… or was it? Research shows that up to 1/3 of women won’t be happy. Whether you’re going through a loss, or you’ve built up expectations for the day that are un-met and leave you disappointed. And that’s likely true for many holidays throughout the year.
In this episode, we talk strategies for how to let special days feed your soul rather than suck you dry.
