About this episode

The episode discusses the Holiday Blues and offers compassionate coping strategies for those feeling sadness during the holiday season.

The holidays aren’t always joyful, and if this season feels heavy, you’re not alone. In this episode of Everything’s Okay, Logan and Dustin talk honestly about the Holiday Blues: why this time of year can bring sadness, anxiety, loneliness, or grief, even when everyone expects us to feel happy. They explore the difference between everyday holiday stress and clinical depression, why loss and loneliness feel louder during the holidays, and how expectations, family dynamics, and social comparison can weigh on our mental health. Then the guys dive deep into realistic, compassionate ways to cope, without toxic positivity or pressure to “just be grateful.” This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to love the holidays to be okay, and that giving yourself permission to feel what you feel is an act of care.Website: https://crazyantmedia.comMerchandise: https://crazyantmedia.com/crazy-ant-merchandiseOur film, Deadlines: https://crazyantmedia.com/deadlinesPodcasts:ITCAFpodcast:Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/itcafpodcast/id1644145531Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1tf6L0e7vO9xnVtWaip67s?si=tYPrIVr_R36qpYns4qeZ8gEverything’s Okay PodcastApple Podcast…
