And, I also want to acknowledge that this can be a (very) triggering time of year\u2013 for many people,\u00a0 on many levels. Especially for those who are single and/or childless (not by choice). \n\nMass media touts this as a time of family and togetherness. We can often feel excluded, forgotten, and not understood by family and friends who DO have children and partners.\u00a0\n\nAnd, we can even be discriminated against in the workplace\u2013expected to work over the holidays so that those who have children can have that time off.\u00a0\n\nIf this stretch of time until New Year's is hard for you, I've recorded a podcast episode, sharing some tips I've found helpful over the years.\n\nAbove all, we need to raise awareness that many struggle\u2013 and are alone\u2013\u00a0at this time of year (for so many reasons).\u00a0\n\nIf you know someone who falls into these categories, listen in to learn how to support them.\n\nAnd, if you're alone and/or struggling over the holidays this year, my heart is with you and I hope this episode offers some solace and support.\n\nIFS Therapy Group for Women: www.womensyogateachertraining.com/ifs-group\n\nWomen's Solstice Retreat: www.womensyogateachertraining.com/solsticeretreat\n\nSara's website: www.saraavantstover.com\n\nSara on Instagram: www.instagram.com/saraavantstover\n\nSara on Facebook: www.facebook.com/saraavantstoverauthor\n\nSubscribe to Sara's newsletter: www.saraavantstover.com/#newsletter","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/8ce65fd3-257e-4b2c-8402-59272a46cfd0/avatars-9wksiekqz7t5mxrc-lb1w1w-original.jpg"}
