In this mini episode, we pause to reflect on everything that's happened and everything we've carried as the year comes to a close. We've pulled together moments from some of the conversations that shaped our year, reflecting on friendship, grief, gratitude, humor, and the small, often overlooked moments that make life feel a little lighter. This episode isn't your typical "new year, new me" episode. It's us giving ourselves, and you, permission to feel everything this year has brought and step into a new year with honesty, heart, and a little more ease.
