How do people find hope in the darkest times? In this episode, Branon Dempsey, a worship leader, candidly discusses the emotional aftermath of holiday gatherings and the lingering impact of family dynamics. The holidays, often romanticised as joyous, can trigger complex emotions that linger long after the decorations are packed away. Branon shares his personal experiences with post-holiday emotional 'leftovers'—a mix of relief, guilt, and anxiety that many feel but seldom talk about.

So, how do you handle your emotional leftovers? Join Branon as he shares tools and perspectives to help you manage the post-holiday blues.
