It’s officially 2024, Tegan and Libby are ready to shake off 2023 and kick start the new year (and we hope you are too!).

Tegan wants to find that time management sweet spot with a bit of extra focus but a slower pace, while Libby is all about ‘momentum’ for 2024, after nailing her word of the year last year.

Plus, if you’re struggling to find the perfect school holiday activity, Libby and Tegan are here to help with some of their favourites that won’t break the bank.

Merry Christmas to all our This Glorious Mess listeners!

Whilst you’re probably trying to stay cool this summer silly season, we’ve put together some of our favourite interview moments from the year.

From Jessica Rowe’s silly jokes, Nas Campanella smashing stigmas, Will McMahon’s epic fails and Tammin Sursok’s calming approach to parenting, we’ve learnt a lot this year and we hope you have too.

See you in 2024!
