Christmas is a time of heightened emotions: lots of fun, lots of food, plenty of arguments. This year Andrew invites friend of the podcast and love coach CATE MACKENZIE to explore what Christmas means to each of them. 

Cate and Andrew discuss:

• Their best and worst Christmas experiences. 


• Christmas traditions that work.


• Most evocative Christmas songs


• Cultivating the right mindset to make the most of Christmas


• Accepting pain and disappointment if they arise.
