This is an IHeart podcast.

Hello and welcome back to another brand new episode of Uni Therapy.

My name is Kat. And as as always thank you so much for

deciding to spend a little bit of your day with me. This week offers us something extra special

because it is a holiday week in the middle of a pandemic. So I mean, I don't know about you guys. I've never done this before,

so we're going to do the best we can. I know that some of us are struggling with the holidays

as we would normally because of our own life stressors and anxieties and stuff going on.

And then also some of us are struggling because we can't spend

the holiday that we normally would want to spend with the people we want to spend it with. And

I know I personally have some friends that are having to quarantine just straight up alone on

Thanksgiving. And that's going to be really hard. And so I want to just throw that out there to

anybody who is struggling this week extra. I'm be really hard. And so I want to just throw that out there to anybody who is

struggling this week extra. I'm here with you. And yeah, it's tough. I want to offer anybody that

is in one of those spots who feels just kind of defeated and is this ever going to get better that

there is hope still. We still have some hope. This is not going to be our new normal.

This is just our right now. And if we can look at it that way, it can help us, you know,

plant a little bit more hope, which we might have some trouble doing right now because we've

been hoping for almost a year now for this to go away. And it hasn't. So just always remember, like maybe you can put that in your

head that this is not our new normal. This is our right now. Okay, now for this week's episode,

y'all, you are in for such a treat because I was not planning on releasing this episode this

week, but, you know, we need some goodness and laughter and fun

in our life. And you know what? Talking about mental health, yes, can also be fun and enjoyable
