Happy New Year, and welcome to 2026. In this episode, Shantel shares an honest New Year’s Day reflection using a “Roses & Thorns” review of 2025, inspired by Tinx and her recent Roses & Thorns episode. The format is simple: a rose is what worked, grew, or surprised you, and a thorn is what hurt, stalled, disappointed you, or stayed unresolved. Shantel walks through her own Roses & Thorns across the categories of Work, Self, Travel/Fun, Health, Home, Love, and Friends, then gives a practical guide so you can do your own version in a way that feels grounding, not performative.
