I will be talking about the life we were told to expect—school, marriage, kids, success—and what happens when at 38 you realize it’s time to pivot. When “living your best life” still feels like Groundhog Day, this one hits different.

Add in the magical mayhem of Christmas—Grinch Day, stomach bugs, Polar Express, projects, traditions, and trying to soak it all in without losing it.

Plus an NGL moment: what’s the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

And for the first time ever John and his bestie Chris join the kitchen chat together to talk all things Christmas.
