The holiday season can resurface old wounds and bring up pain, loneliness and depression. Family gatherings with people we associate with, dysfunctional or abusive relationships can cause us despair. Ludwig discusses with James how you can break free from these patterns, you don’t have to surrender to circumstances that cause you pain. The listeners will learn how to grow stronger during this holiday season by being aware and making different choices. You have control over how you feel, think and act. Ludwig and James discuss how to show up as you truly are as opposed to how everyone "remembers" you.
