What the Sissons Are Doing for Christmas This Year

Believe it or not, Christmas has never been my favorite holiday. As a kid, I was always partial to Halloween—not just for the candy, but more for the adventure of venturing out into the black night with your best friends and marauding all over town. As I’ve gotten older, Thanksgiving has enjoyed special prominence in my life for obvious reasons—the food, the gratitude, the family gathering around the table to partake in the bounty laid before us, the lack of adornment and focus on what truly matters. I wasn’t so into gifts as a kid, instead preferring to mow lawns or paint houses to pay for my own stuff. Or perhaps it was my parents who preferred that I work for my possessions and helped instill that in me. But that’s not to say Christmas wasn’t a big deal. It was.

I have to admit: There’s something special about the Christmas or holiday “spirit,” whatever that is. You can feel it in the air, and I’m not quite sure what’s behind it. All I know is that it exists.

How to Really Bond With Your Family This Holiday Season

Let’s not beat around the holly bush: the holiday season just isn’t the same this year. You could get down in the dumps about it OR you could get creative about finding ways to celebrate with friends and family. Honestly, it’s ok to do both. Grieve the ambiguous losses we’re all experiencing this season while also looking for ways to make the best of what we have.

This year, we have an opportunity to get out of old holiday ruts and try something different, maybe even start new traditions. Somebody needs to put the ho-ho-ho back in the holidays, and I nominate you. Here are some ideas you can put into action...

Easy Apple Dump Cake Recipe: Gluten-free, Grain-free

Apple dump cake is one of those desserts that makes everyone ask for your recipe after the first bite. It’s also known for its ease of preparation – all you have to do is layer ingredients and top it with lots and lots of butter before baking.

Apple dump cake is traditionally made with incredibly sugary canned fruit and store bought cake mix. Instead of mixing the cake up with oil or butter and eggs, the fruit and cake mix are layered in a baking dish, and drizzled with a sea of melted butter all over the top.

Our updated take on this cake is most certainly an occasional treat, but made with fresh apples and a paleo-friendly dry mix, it’s a super speedy option for dessert.

Examining Our Beliefs, with Dr. Jane Tornatore

Today we welcome Dr. Jane Tornatore to Health Coach Radio. Dr. Jane is a licensed therapist and author of the book Everything is Perfect, Just Not Me. This was a really fun interview where we got to dive into the topics of mental health, neuroplasticity, and how we can deprogram and remap our minds to enable us to engage with the world differently, see ourselves differently, and so much more. Through her counseling practice, Dr. Jane found that people really struggle with self-worth when it comes to making changes. Her purpose in writing this book was to help people move through the fear that naturally comes when we try to love ourselves more. This book gives you the tools to make the changes you’ve always wanted to make but perhaps you didn’t feel you deserved. In this interview we discuss the idea of attachment theory, the idea that tiny changes can make the journey a little easier, why reinforcing the positives is a necessity, and so much more. Dr. Jane is a wealth of information and we had so much fun engaging in this conversation. Have a listen and we know you will too!
