Do you find the holidays hard? On the final show of the year for 2021, I invite one of my oldest friends, Pippa Baker onto the show, who is a Mental Health First Aid specialist, training and supporting people from corporate to schools to social groups in all things resilience and mental health - how to feel empowered, focused on what you can control, and grateful - even on a day it’s only for a nice punnet of strawberries as she shares during our chat about a particularly tough day in the past year. We talk about the challenge of the holiday season from managing energy to loss and grief, to people who disagree with you or you with them and we carve out a path of kindness, compassion and gratitude, finishing up with some golden tips on raising kids who can do hard things.
