🎃 Halloween Looks Different Now

In this episode of Surviving and Chilling with Debbie, I'm reflecting on how Halloween and other holidays change as we move through different seasons of life. From childhood memories of costumes and trick-or-treating to creating traditions with our own families, each stage brings something unique.

I also share some thoughts on grief, missing loved ones during the holidays, and learning to appreciate both old memories and new traditions. Whether you're celebrating with family, missing someone special, or simply reflecting on your own journey, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone.

In this episode of Surviving and Chilling with Debbie, I'm talking about something I've been struggling with during my recovery: the guilt of resting. Why does taking a break sometimes feel wrong? How do we tell the difference between being lazy and giving ourselves the time we need to heal? Join me as I share my personal experiences, what I'm learning about slowing down, and why rest is an important part of taking care of ourselves.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! You can reach me at survigingandchillingwithdebbie@gmail.com to share your experiences, suggest future topics, or simply say hello. ❤️

This week is a shorter, more personal episode as I continue recovering from surgery. After a difficult day of pain and exhaustion, I had a strange experience that left me questioning the line between sleeping and waking. I could hear a podcast playing, see people in my room, and felt as though I knew them, yet I couldn't speak or fully wake up. In this episode, I share what happened, how it felt, and some thoughts on healing, recovery, and the mysterious ways our minds and bodies respond during difficult times.
