This week on Wellness Wednesdays, we’re focusing on how to truly make the holidays happy — not just festive on the outside, but nourishing on the inside too. 🎄✨

In “Making Your Holidays Happy,” we talk about caring for your mental and emotional well-being amid year-end pressures, family expectations, and the rush of Christmas preparations. Together with Dr. Gina Hechanova-Alampay and Ms. Trix Co, we explore gentle, realistic ways to stay grounded, connected, and well during the holiday season.

This week on Wellness Wednesdays, we slow down and look inward as we explore how spirituality—beyond religion—can ground us, especially during stressful seasons like finals and life’s many transitions.

In partnership with the Ateneo Bulatao Center for Psychological Services and the Ateneo Psyche, we're joined by our guest, Jofel D. Umandap, RPsy, Clinical Psychology PhD candidate and Marriage & Family Therapy specialist.

Together, we dive into how grounding practices help us cope, the role of purpose, values, and connection, how spirituality shows up in therapy, and the realistic grounding routines students can use today.
