The Holidays Feel Heavy This Year | Grief, Breakups & Starting Over

The holidays are supposed to feel warm, connected, joyful…
but for so many women, this season brings something much heavier.

You might be grieving someone you love.
You might have just gone through a breakup.
You might be in a new city with no friends yet.
Or life may have hit you hard — a disaster, a setback, even losing the place you once called home.
And while everyone else is celebrating… you’re just trying to get through the day.

This video is for the people who feel lonely during the holidays —
not because they failed, but because life changed faster than their heart could catch up.

In this Quiet Power episode, we talk about:

✨ The pain of grieving during the holidays
✨ Why breakups feel heavier this time of year
✨ The loneliness of starting over in a new city
✨ How to cope when you’re dealing with financial hardship or crisis
✨ The emotional truth behind “holiday depression”
✨ Why loneliness is a transition, not a life sentence
✨ How to reconnect with yourself when the season feels overwhelming
✨ The Quiet Power of softening, not shutting down

If the holidays feel different this year…
If everyone seems happy except you…
If you’re holding your heart together in silence…


You’re human.
You’re in a tender season.
And you’re stronger than you realize.

This is your Quiet Power —
not pretending everything is fine,
but honoring the courage it takes to keep moving through a hard season with honesty and softness.
