This episode is the Re-Release Holiday Bonus from season 1 of The Ripple Resource series. As the year winds down, hosts Cheech and Nibby gently explore how the holidays can be meaningful, connective, and joyful — and how they can also be emotionally heavy, overwhelming, and complicated. This episode is offered as a gift — to listeners and to ourselves — with the intention of building emotional resilience, self-awareness, and supportive boundaries during the holidays..

Through a candid, interview-style conversation that breaks from the show’s usual format, the sister duo reflect on their own holiday experiences and share honest insights around family dynamics, holiday stress, and staying grounded in who you are amid heightened expectations. Rather than offering rigid advice, this conversation invites greater awareness, autonomy, and compassion as you move through the season.

If the holidays feel hard this year, you’re not alone. This episode is a reminder that your mental health matters, your experience is valid, and you get to decide what the season looks like for you. Tune in for a thoughtful, supportive conversation designed to help you navigate the holidays with a little more ease, intention, and internal harmony.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Ripple Affect.
