Group Chat IRL: Holding It Together with Duct Tape & Prayer

About this episode

Melyssa Ford and her girlfriends discuss the challenges of the holiday season, including caregiving and emotional burnout.

This episode feels like the group chat came to life. Joined by my girlfriends, we talk about the holidays beyond the highlight reels—caregiving for parents, emotional burnout, family expectations, and the quiet sadness that can creep in this time of year. We laugh, we vent, and we remind each other (and you) that you don’t have to carry it all alone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
