Lights twinkle, calendars fill, and yet so many people walk through the holidays with a quiet ache. We open up about the unseen side of the season—loneliness after loss, the stress of dysfunctional family dynamics, the distance of living far from home—and offer a grounded path forward: notice the people in your circle, ask what would help, and meet one need with care. Our conversation blends practical mental health insights from Constance’s counseling work with a warm, faith-centered invitation to observe others around us and demonstrate kindness.

You’ll hear real-world ideas you can act on today: invite a single friend or widow to your table, send a handwritten note to someone grieving, offer a gift card to a neighbor who lost work, or simply text a sincere I’m thinking of you. Anchored by John 13:34, we lean into a love that’s concrete, specific, and responsive to the needs right in front of us.

Whether you’re navigating your own hard holiday or looking for ways to stand with someone else, this episode exhorts you in love, to pay attention to those around you and if you see a need, meet a need.
