As another year draws to a close, we take time out to spend a few days with loved ones, but for some it can be a real struggle. Complicated families, the absence of a strong support network, or simply missing loved ones can turn the holidays into a tough time.
This special Christmas episode is all about connection and features a conversation between Ruari and Jen Fairbairns reflecting on their year, sharing their highlights and celebrating everything they are personally thankful for. They also look to 2024, making positive affirmations about their hopes for the year ahead.
In this episode we're challenging you, OYNB Podcast listener, to join us as we play a game which encourages real conversations without the influence of alcohol. We also explore the social dynamics of family gatherings and how to navigate interactions more positively at this special time of year.
We hope this episode inspires you to positively engage with family and friends this holiday season, celebrating special times together, and creating cherished moments to remember for years to come.
