Kia ora! We're back for our final episode of the 2024 year. Well, what a total f**king trip. Our final episode of 2023 was titled '2023, the year of the ick'. If only this year felt as simple... it didn't. The ick still stands as one of the worst things ever though let us not forget lol (assuming you guys also binged 'Nobody wants this' and got the ick from the sports jacket 'cos same). Anyway, you all know the story - what has happened this year has flipped the world on its axis and suddenly everything feels different. Life is forever changed and as a result the podcast has evolved to become a sort of therapy in sharing the good (where possible), the bad, the ugly and the awful. Typically, guests are out the window as it has become a cathartic exercise for Leece and I every Monday morning. And, all the while you are here - every week, more and more of you tuning in, and we are so, so grateful.

In our final episode of 2024 we are the full team - Leece, Jess, Char, Ains, Kirst, Sarah and Natalia. 7 of us on the mic means a level of chaos we feel important to caveat. Otherwise, we did our best to keep this episode super light and took the time to answer some questions from you, our listeners. We didn't get to answering all questions, but we were a little selective in what we did answer, in a bid to keep things light, as intended. We go through what we're reading, what we like about ourselves, fave Christmas foods, wall pilates, what we do to slow down, chocolate flavours and more. We hope you enjoy the waffle.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. The poem at the end is dedicated to Leece, but also to all of you, especially those experiencing a tough, challenging time. Have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year. Be back soon.
