Your Holiday, Your Way: Honoring Your Needs This Season
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, this intimate conversation opens space for you to discover what feels right for you. Together, we'll explore questions like:
- What traditions still bring comfort or meaning?
- Which ones feel heavy or outdated?
- How can you give yourself permission to honor your needs, not just expectations?
Five grief professionals—who are also grievers themselves—will share how they've navigated holiday traditions after loss: what they've kept, reshaped, or released entirely. Their stories are meant not as prescriptions, but as invitations for reflection.
You'll leave this conversation with gentle guidance, renewed self-trust, and permission to shape the holidays in a way that feels authentic, spacious, and healing for you.
Thursday, October 30th: 7:00pm-8:30pm Eastern Standard Time
