The holiday season is often described as joyful, but for many navigating infertility or pregnancy loss, it can also be a season of grief. In this episode, Dr. Sonia Gayete explores how joy and loss can exist side by side, and why it is important to create space for both. She shares compassionate insights on honoring grief during the holidays, finding small moments of joy, and giving yourself permission to experience the season on your own terms.

Whether you are moving through loss, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for a more mindful approach to the season, this episode offers gentle guidance for holding space for every part of your journey.
