About this episode

#123. After spending Thanksgiving alone, I started to think more about the extra pang of loneliness some of us may feel during the holiday season, a loneliness that may even be exacerbated in the presence of friends & family. Here are a few tools to help you get into the holiday spirit if you live alone, if you’re celebrating by yourself or if you’re feeling alone in a room full of people.
