Ep. 27: Safe Celebrations – Festivities from Afar

I’m delighted to share this fun and festive holiday episode of “Happiness through Hardship” – The Podcast. While this season will look different than before, more virtual and less big gatherings, on this episode I have a very special guest who loves to celebrate and shares with us how. We chat about finding happiness and creating joy together, even though many of us are apart. I’m thrilled to introduce you to Meghan Buchanan Roberts – a secondary education school counselor, a former manager for Hershey Corporate, a wife, a Mom and my fabulous and full of fun – college roommate. She’s always been someone who has commemorated the big and little in life, so she seemed like the perfect person to have this conversation – and hopefully help us all make the holidays special.
