episode 23 is our christmas special, recorded over two days thanks to some classic tech chaos.

we start by getting festive - talking about christmas as kids, our favourite holiday movies and songs, and the things that still make the season feel comforting (and chaotic). then erica shares her dating wrapped after making a pact with a friend to download a dating app and commit to one date a month for the year - twelve dates total, no pressure on who or how.

what started as an experiment didn’t go to plan at all. 

somewhere along the way, erica fell in love with one of the men she met (dear old pentacles) and shares that story.

it’s a reflective, warm episode about timing, intention, and how sometimes the thing you’re doing “for the plot” quietly changes you as a person.
