Same’ ole, same ‘ole holiday stuff? Not these days!

No time is more difficult for most when they are going through or have gone through a recent breakup, than the holiday season. In the past few years, Host Glass has had a number of experts on, leading up to the holidays, who have shared advice, inspiration, and practical solutions for handling what is arguably the most sensitive time of the year. True to tradition during hiatus, Host Glass, based on feedback, selects “audience favorites”—those experts whose “handling the holidays” advice continues to be timely and on point.

In our December series, TheHourGLASSpodcast will feature: Dr. Jessica Collett, a UCLA professor who talks about the shift in family traditions post breakup; Lisa Gache, “Beverly Hills Manners” author and “appropriate” expert who offers guidelines for holiday post-divorce etiquette do’s and don’ts; Dr. Jennifer Franklin tackles ways to stave off the “Holiday Blues;” while Tracie Andrews and Cheryl Eskin, talk red flags, indicators, and signals that suicide might be imminent. They speak frankly on the topic as it relates to both adults and teens. If you’re going through a breakup, serving as a support system for someone you know who is, there is something in every one of the Episodes that can be of help. Take a listen. Count your blessings. Then get those you know who are suffering this yuletide season to count there’s.
