EP 6: 2026 & Beyond — Rest, Delusional Confidence, and Depth

In this episode, we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, starting with a recap of our One Last Toast event at Ever After. Then, we dive into the themes guiding us into the new year - Rest as a Requirement; Delusional Confidence; Depth Over Being Busy.

We talk about what each theme means to us and how we’re planning to embody them as leaders, friends and women showing up with intention.

As you listen, we invite you to reflect with us:

    •    What is 2026 asking of you?

    •    Which theme do you need the most right now?

    •    Where are you ready to show up differently?

    •    Tag us and share your theme for 2026—we’d love to celebrate it with you.

EP 5: Manifesting, Big Wins & Calling in 2026

EP 5: We’re promoting our first-ever podcast event, One Last Toast. We created several stations, including a manifestation card station, a letter-to-your-future-self station, and a big wins station, designed to help us pause and actually celebrate how far we’ve come.

Beyond the event, we delve into the realities of reflection and growth. We dive into what we’re calling in for 2026, what we’re consciously leaving behind, and the lessons we’re carrying forward as we step into a new year with clarity and purpose.

Featured Wine: Van Hunks Method Cap Classique Brut from Stellenbosch, South Africa.

EP 4: We slow down and reflect on the meaning of the holidays—past and present. We talk about family, connection, and how traditions evolve over time. From old rituals like attending midnight mass to newer traditions such as traveling and creating fresh memories, this episode explores how the holidays can look different for everyone, and why that’s okay. Whether you’re holding onto cherished customs or starting something new, this conversation is a reminder to honor what you need this season.

In this episode we continue our discussion of evolution and change within the communities we choose, find ourselves in and build as millennial women. Community is examined and discussed as being an integral part of our development.
Featured Wine: Tabeaux Cellars, Rosé of Primitivo, Amador County, CA, 2023

EP 2: The Only Constant

As the seasons change and new circumstances come to life, we use the bio-psycho-social perspective to reflect on change in our lives, the moments that we’ve faced in our 14-year best friendship and how those moments have led to the women we are today.

Featured Wine: Processus Maria Gomes, Western Cape, South Africa, 2024
