Episode 2: Two Things Can Be True: Declassified Guide to Surviving the New Year

In this episode of Two Things Can Be True, Aqueelah and Ashley crack open a real, unfiltered conversation about surviving the new year without losing yourself in the process. Forget the pressure, the perfection, and the loud expectations. This is your declassified guide to starting fresh while staying grounded.

They begin with Step One: learning how to talk to yourself kindly. From internal narratives and self-checks to unlearning harsh self-talk and embracing grace, this episode reminds us that growth doesn’t have to sound like criticism. You can want better for yourself and still honor where you are right now.

With humor, reflection, and lived experience, the girls explore how mindset shapes momentum, why softness is not weakness, and how two things can be true at the same time: you can be motivated and still move at your own pace.

If the new year already feels loud, overwhelming, or heavy, this episode is an invitation to breathe, reset, and speak life over yourself again.

Honest. Relatable. Necessary.
