The holiday season can be a joyful time, but for many retirees, it can also stir up feelings of loneliness, stress, or sadness. If that’s you, I want you to know something important—you’re not alone, and your feelings are completely normal.
After working with people for years, both in career coaching and now in retirement wellness, I’ve seen how tough this time of year can be, especially when life has changed in ways we didn’t expect.
Maybe the house feels quieter than it used to. Maybe a spouse is no longer here, or the kids live far away. Maybe the holidays bring financial stress or memories that weigh heavy. Whatever you’re feeling, it’s valid.
I just posted a short video where I talk directly about this and offer a few simple steps that truly help: getting sunlight, moving your body, and practicing daily gratitude. These small actions can make a real difference in how you feel.
If the holidays hit a little harder this year, I hope you’ll take a moment to watch. You deserve support, peace, and a brighter season ahead.
