In this special bonus episode of the How to Belong Podcast, we strip back the layers and dig a little deeper. Why the title Naked Christmas? Because sometimes, the festive season reveals more of our hidden feelings than we expect. It asks us to bear it all — our joys, struggles, and everything in between — and face the challenges of finding true belonging.
Host Naomi E Lloyd is joined by Steve O’Neil, the very first guest and producer of the podcast. Together, they reflect on the incredible journey of Season 1, what they’ve learned, and share highlights from the inspiring guests who joined them.
Steve opens up about the complexities of being a dad in a blended family during the holidays — the pressures, the connections, and the search for belonging. We even (maybe accidentally!) dip into a cheeky podcast faux pas about Naked Christmas… but hey, when you're bearing it all, these things happen!
What started as a simple wrap-up turned into an unexpectedly revealing discussion — so buckle up for an episode filled with honesty, humour, and heart.
- The joy and challenges of belonging during the holidays
- Steve’s personal stories of navigating a blended family at Christmas
- Highlights and reflections from Season 1’s amazing guests
- Why good storytelling and honest conversations matter
This conversation turned out to be more revealing than expected… in more ways than one!
