52. Carrying Love Through the Holidays: Missing Someone You Can’t Be With

The holidays can be a tender time — full of joy, love, and also that quiet ache of missing someone you wish could be with you. In this heartfelt episode, we open up about what it feels like to miss the people we love — whether they’ve passed away or they’re simply too far to reach this year.

Ashley shares about missing her bubbie and grandpa, and Jacqui talks about the deep longing for her dad, as well as the distance that comes from loved ones being states away. Together, we talk about how to hold both grief and joy in the same breath — how to honor our loved ones through small, meaningful rituals while still allowing ourselves to experience peace and happiness this season.

We’re choosing to let love lead — saying yes to the little things that bring us joy, slowing down enough to notice the magic around us, and remembering that honoring someone you miss can also mean honoring yourself.

If you’re feeling the weight of missing someone this holiday season, you’re not alone. 🕯️

Grab a cozy blanket, pour a warm drink, and come sit with us.
