If you’re having a sad Christmas … You’re SO not alone. (Even if it seems like everyone else on earth is merry and bright.) I fell into this trap. On Christmas Eve, I sent out an email speaking to everyone who is struggling during the holidays. I felt kind of silly doing it. My brain told me … 🧠 Everyone else is really HAPPY! You’re the only weirdo who’s not overjoyed by the season. 🧠 Now you look like a loser. 🧠 Also, if Debbie Downer and Scrooge McDuck had a baby, it would be you. Well. It turns out my brain was wrong. That email got more responses than anything I’ve sent out this year. It turns out plenty of you are feeling sad around the holidays. For all kinds of reasons. Tragic losses. Relationship breakups. Money pressure. Overwhelm. Past holiday trauma. You would never guess from social media. But it’s true. So I’m glad that not only did I send an email … I also made a podcast about this. On this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I share some of my own sad Christmas experiences. And I’ll also offer you some survival tips.  Really practical things you can do to make micro moments of joy in a difficult season.  Enjoy ❤️ WORK WITH SARAH Curious about how life coaching can help you?
