Are You Having a Complicated Christmas? ...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

If you’re dealing with loss, sickness, or loneliness, this time of year can serve to magnify whatever you’re going through.  So in this weekend’s new episode, I wanted to do something a little different . . . While this message is for anyone who needs a boost during the holidays, it’s especially for those in the middle of a “complicated Christmas.” And today I want you to know that you’re not alone.  Listen to this message and please do drop me a comment after you watch. I’d love for us all to feel more connected and help people know that others understand what they’re going through right now. 


Happy holidays, Matthew
