Summary

The holidays aren’t easy for everyone — and grief doesn’t care what the calendar says. In this week’s episode of Deciphering Growth , we sit down with Bethany Valenti to talk about what grief really looks like during the holidays, why the “stages” don’t tell the full story, and how to navigate traditions, boundaries, and emotional waves with compassion.
