The holidays can be a beautiful mix of warmth, nostalgia, and connection — but when you’re living with cancer, they can also feel overwhelming, complicated, or completely different from years past. And that’s okay.
In this episode, we dive into what it really looks like to move through the holiday season with compassion, boundaries, and intention. Together, we explore:
- The weight of family expectations
- Parenting when your energy and emotions are stretched thin
- The tender emotional landscape this season can bring
- Tips for traveling safely and comfortably
- How to protect your peace and create space for your healing
Whether you’re in treatment, recovering, or supporting someone you love, this episode offers grounding insight and gentle reminders to help you navigate the holidays on your own terms.
Tune in and take a breath — you don’t have to do this season alone.
