This episode is a laid-back catch up with a bunch of life updates from the start of the new year. Over in my corner of the world, we don’t really do New Year’s resolutions per se, we set goals. The kind that take time to fulfill. Whether that’s weeks, months, or the dreaded years, we do our best and just keep showing up.

I share how quitting sugar is going (does hot chocolate have sugar in it?), why my social media hiatus has been one of my favorite decisions so far, and what’s been filling my time instead. We dabble in the beauty world, skipping nail appointments, new reality TV (hello Members Only: Palm Beach), and the very real realization that my goal of getting to bed earlier is somehow going in the opposite direction… which is actually very on brand for me.

And while I haven’t started strength training yet, I did learn that hiking every day with Magnolia counts for something. Between carrying her, the Osprey backpack, and dressing in full winter gear, I’m hauling an extra 45 pounds. So… we’re calling that a win!!
