Salisha is pulling back the curtain on one of her most personal and most powerful yearly rituals. Every Christmas season, she sits down and does something most people would never admit to: she ranks her friendships. Not out of judgment, but out of self-preservation, clarity, and love.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• What the A-List, B-List, and Sh*t List actually mean and why having one changes everything
• How a lonely stretch on tour with Beautiful: The Carol King Musical inspired this whole practice
• Why Salisha writes two versions of her Christmas letter every year and what the A-List version actually sounds like
• The chapter in her book Why Be a 9 When You Can Be a 10 that covers the VIP List
• How this annual ritual helps her evaluate friendships, celebrate new ones, and quietly release the ones that no longer serve her

You don't need to announce the list.

You don't need to tell anyone they're on it.

You just make it and feel the shift.
