Can We Talk About the Holiday Aisle?

from Change Happened, Then What? | Real Stories After Life Changes · host Heather Holt

Heather Holt notices the absurdity of retail timelines when Christmas is barely wrapped, and Easter already fills store aisles. With her signature wry humor, she explores our cultural rush to the next celebration — and the quiet pressure to always be emotionally prepared for joy. In this Smile Drop, Heather reflects on missing St. Patrick’s Day green, early holiday overload, and the simple desire to live one season at a time. Between the supervising sighs of her emotional support dogs, Waylon and Dalton, she offers permission to slow down, resist the pastel pressure, and savor where you are — shamrocks and all.  If you'd like to support the show, just click the link | Be a part of the Change Happened community Enter to win the "What Changed Me Community Challenge" | Enter to Win!
