The Holiday Survival Podcast is your companion for navigating the most emotionally charged time of the year. Hosted by producer and storyteller Erin Billings, this podcast goes beyond picture-perfect holiday moments to explore the real experiences so many of us face — grief, family conflict, burnout, loneliness, and the pressure to hold it all together. Each week, Erin sits down with thought-provoking guests — from mental health experts and trauma practitioners to spiritual teachers, doctors, and creatives — for honest conversations about what it truly means to survive (and even find peace) during the holidays. Together, they unpack practical tools for emotional wellness, communication, self-care, and navigating relationships when the season feels anything but joyful. Whether you’re coping with loss, setting boundaries with family, or just trying to make it through another year without burning out, The Holiday Survival Podcast offers warmth, validation, and a reminder that you’re not alone. Listen to find grounded conversations about grief during the holidays, stress management, mental health, healing from trauma, self-compassion, and finding hope in hard seasons. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and join a growing community learning to rewrite what the holidays can look like — more honest, more human, and a lot more peaceful.
