On episode 7, we take a break from discussing conspirituality and share personal stories and insights about spending time with family during the holidays. We explore the ways in which we have found peace in our relationships (particularly, with our parents), through trauma and grief and the vulnerabilities of being seen by those who know us best (and, sometimes, don’t know us at all).
Episode 07 talking points:
The bittersweetness of the holidays; the weaving of joy & grief.
Setting empathetic and realistic expectations for yourself and your family.
Seeing our boundaries as gates that can open, rather than walls.
How grief is not an isolated incident, it’s an undercurrent in all major events.
The vulnerability of being with our families and all that can bring up.
The importance of recharging/alone time during the holidays.
As always, these conversations are ongoing & we'd love you to be a part of them. Connect with us on Instagram @virtuish_ // @kelseyfurlong_ // @ashleygracehudson
