Do you tend to feel sadness or let down at the end of special seasons-- like holidays or summer? If so, you could suffer from a (made-up) condition called CDD - Chronic Disappointment Disorder. Heather confesses that she wrestles this condition which keeps her chronically feeling like she should have done more or at least enjoyed the special seasons more. If you feel sad at the end of summer, and are "woulda, shoulda, coulda" over-thinking what you wish your summer had looked like, this episode is for you. Those of us with body image issues have a fabulous way of not just lamenting the end of special seasons, but lamenting lots of other things that don't go according to our expectations. You'll find encouragement and hope from the truth of this episode.
