Happy New Year, friends! We're kicking off 2026 with a little truth and a lot of laughter: our morning routines are chaotic good energy.

In this episode, Michele and Sarah look at how they actually start their mornings this time of year—what's working, what's wishful thinking, and which routines we'll probably keep… at least for now.

Inside we're chatting about:

Why we'd need a full 12-hour morning to fit in everything we want to do The tension between "ideal" and "real" routines—and why both matter The habits we love (and the ones that secretly stress us out) Some happy new year wishes for you, from two women trying their best and laughing through the mess

This is a cozy, honest start to the new year—with zero pressure to be perfect, and full permission to reset in your own way. Come for the dry brushing attempts… stay for the real-life chaos.

Listen if you've ever wanted to have a productive, magical morning… but also accidentally scroll for 45 minutes instead.
