The holidays are probably one of the toughest times for childless women. Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place. They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions, and the middle of the football game on TV. Even a quick trip to the grocery store can seem daunting.
One of the hardest things about it might be imagining how futures holidays might look without all the traditions you thought you'd be creating with your kids.
I know how this all feels and yet, I've managed to create a holiday season that I absolutely love. On this episode, I share my best 10 tips for you to create yours.
You'll find out:

• how to process the grief that comes up
• how to prepare for the potential triggers and release them
• what to do if you want to redesign your holidays in a way that feels good for you
