🎄✨ Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, everyone! ✨🎄

This is a very special episode. I take a moment to share a few things happening in my own life—and one hugecoincidence that stopped me cold. 🧩😳

It was one of those moments that feels too big to be random… the kind that makes you pause and think, “Okay, what is actually going on here?”

I don’t want to spoil it by saying more—so let’s get into the episode. 🎧➡️
