Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. In today's episode we're unpacking all the reasons why the festive season can have a negative impact on our wellbeing and looking at some of the big and small ways we can take care of ourselves at this most challenging time of the year. Warning if listening with small kids - we discuss the dreaded December elves in a way which might just spoil some of the magic! Although would that really be such a bad thing...?
