When the Holidays Open Our Eyes

The holidays have a way of slowing us down… and sometimes opening our eyes to things we’ve been avoiding. In this episode of Hey Mom, We Never Prepared For This, we talk honestly about those “aha” moments that show up during family g*therings — the changes we notice, the emotions we feel, and the conversations we may need to have with our aging parents.
