Episode Description
“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” –Hamilton Wright Mabie Ah, the holidays. For some, it's the most magical time of the year—twinkling lights, cozy nights, and the smell of cookies baking in the oven. But if you’re a teenager? Let’s be real—the holidays can be a bit...complicated. Join host, Julia and guest Steffi as they discuss the joy and angst teens face during the holiday season. Steffi shares the psychology of the season. When you're a kid, the holidays are all about magic. Cookies just appear, gifts magically arrive, and the world feels wrapped up in a sparkly bow. But as a teen, the curtain gets pulled back. Suddenly, you’re in charge of buying gifts (on what budget, exactly?), maybe working a holiday shift, and trying to squeeze in studying for exams. For teens, the takeaway is this: The holidays don’t have to be magical in the way you thought as a kid. It’s okay to feel a little stressed or even underwhelmed. But carving out small, meaningful moments—laughing with a friend, bingeing holiday movies, or just taking a deep breath—can make all the difference.
