Episode 5: Corona at Christmas; to hug or not to hug?

I don't know about you but I have been feeling emotional this past couple of weeks? Approaching the festive season and for many reasons, the pandemic being one of them, everything is feeling less 'normal' than ever. In this episode, as always, I'll be honest about how I have been feeling and what I am experiencing. I'll share some of my viewpoints on why some of us are getting emotional, feeling lonely and never been in need of a hug more! I have a few ideas on handling these feelings and emotions but I would love to hear some of your strategies.
