Encore: Ep. 19 - Shannon's Holiday-Season Dread

Hey, Fellow Travelers. Shannon spent her childhood holiday seasons listening to her divorced parents fight about who would get more time with their kids. Now 32 and a year out from her own divorce, she's dreading her first holiday season without her spouse and managing her parents' disappointment if she doesn't travel to their respective homes during COVID. We help her to see the connection between issues in her marriage and her holiday dilemma, and offer her an empowering way to reclaim the holidays for herself this year. If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at LoriAndGuy@iHeartMedia.com .
