In this episode, we are sitting down and talking about reframing Christmas
Because we didn't have any guests this month, we asked our respective social media gurus to seek some key questions from our wonderful followers about our Thoughts and feelings, especially when it comes to the festive season and the dawning of a new year.
We tackled loneliness, parties and how we can mentally prepare ourselves for the Holiday season ahead.
Our awareness (and good causes) days were DECEMBEARD 2022 - https://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/support-us/fundraise/decembeard/ and Christmas Jumper Day - https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/christmas-jumper-day/about
