Ep. 71: Let’s Get Magical

This week on I Gotta Win the Lotto, we’re stepping into 2026 energy early—hopeful, delusional (in the best way), and very aware that life does not come with a syllabus.

We start by talking about 2026 and what we think we want versus what life is probably going to do anyway. New year expectations are dangerous because suddenly everyone thinks they’re about to be their best self overnight. New routines. New boundaries. New personalities. Same old habits. But we’re trying.

Of course, expectations come up—expectations of friends, of trips, of ourselves. We talk about how expectations can quietly ruin a good time if you don’t check them early. Sometimes people don’t disappoint you—you just imagined a version of them they never agreed to be.

And then… Epcot: Drinking Around the World. Because nothing bonds people faster than walking miles in Florida heat while sipping drinks from 11 countries and pretending you’re cultured. We talk tips, chaos, pacing yourself (or not), and how by the end you’re emotional, hungry, and deeply reflective over a margarita in Mexico.
