In this short solo episode, Tara checks in before the holiday chaos kicks in. With Thanksgiving around the corner and the new year not far behind, she admits she's been so busy she almost broke tradition and didn't host Thanksgiving — because honestly, the idea of just going to a restaurant and being served sounded real good.

Tara talks about how she doesn't believe in New Year's resolutions, but she does believe in taking inventory: What's the best use of her time? What's the best way to connect with the people who support her? And how can she make space for the things that actually matter — without burning herself out in the process?

She invites the audience to do the same: not to make resolutions they'll abandon by February, but to think about realistic goals, kinder expectations, and giving ourselves permission not to do it all.

A little perspective, a little honesty, and a reminder that it's okay to choose rest — even if Nonna wouldn't approve.
