Dear Grandma...
from Meltdown Abroad · host meltdownabroad
If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up the feeling of the holidays back home and bring it with you abroad, this one’s for you. In this week's episode, we talk about what it’s like to miss familiar traditions, feel caught off guard by holiday sadness, and trying to recreate something that no longer fits the same way. We unpack why traditions, routines, and activities don’t have to look the same to still feel meaningful and grounding. This episode is about holding onto what matters most, staying curious about what’s new, and giving yourself permission to create holidays that feel good now, not perfect or purely nostalgic. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Simple ways to keep long-distance family bonds strong - Easy, low-pressure ideas to explore local holiday culture with curiosity (not obligation) - How to lower the overwhelm by choosing what matters most and releasing the rest If you are looking for support, get in touch and share your questions and concerns at: [email protected] Find us on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube!
