This week on "The Homework Podcast", Sharlyn and Joy make the case for starting the new year early like, October early. What begins as side eye over someone saying “Happy New Year” turns into a soulful (and surprisingly funny) conversation about getting quiet, listening for life’s whispers, and preparing for the high energy Fire Horse year ahead.

They unpack burnout, self care, and why reflection now beats scrambling in January so you can ride into 2026 with clarity instead of getting dragged by the reins.
