We’re finishing up 2025 with a special guest co-host: Noah Rush. In this episode, Veronica talks to Noah, her personal trainer and a behavior change specialist, about how to actually change behaviors in a consistent way, why it’s so important to be realistic, and how to start small and build momentum. This is a great listen before you set your New Year’s resolutions!

This week, we’re doing something a little bit different: Sarah is reading a piece of her writing. This piece is about the simultaneous connection between two people and the chasm of space that also lies between them.
