It was a great pleasure to be interviewed by one of the best people you’ll ever have the privilege of knowing, Dr. Carole Myers. When Carole asked me to be on her program, HealthConnections, on the topic of stress during the holidays, I was unsure if I was up to the challenge — but the adage “teach what you need to know” has rung true for me on many occasions, so I said yes.

I can say without hesitation that Carole’s direction, kindness, and expertise reduced my stress in this new-to-me environment.

If you find you could use a few words about dealing with stress during this time, you can find a direct link to the full program, a teaser in the Facebook post, and more about the program, one of my favorite listens on WUOT, shared below.

This week on Health Connections, Dr. Carole Myers is joined by Andria Yates to discuss how we actually find peace and joy during the holiday season. The two of them unpack the particular challenges of holiday stress, ways to cope with these stressors, and offer listeners a gentle reminder to take off some of that additional pressure they’re putting on themselves this season.
