In a tale stranger than fiction Rosika & Kristen are both feeling relatively awake and ready for this week’s episode! Join us this week as we look at the successes & fails of our past selves (complete with stats) and look toward what we want to achieve in 2026!

Also featuring yelling about gift giving, lying to toddlers about the calendar, and celebrating one year of the show!

P.S. We promise to get a swear jar for 2026.
