In this unfiltered episode, I sit down with my sister Allison to reflect on 2025 and step into 2026 with honesty, humor, and faith. We talk openly about losing our grandma, how grief showed up in our lives, and how differently people respond to loss, even within the same family. I share how my faith was stretched during that season, while Allison reflects on the resilience she found while continuing to show up for her family.

We also talk about what we’re proud of from the year, the goals we’re carrying into the new year, and what we’re intentionally leaving behind, especially the need to control everything. From health habits and prayer journaling to travel, relationships, and dating with more intention, this conversation covers both the serious and the everyday.

Along the way, we lean into the lighter moments: our Type A vs Type B personalities, being “on time,” messy cars, travel styles, unread texts, and rapid-fire questions that show just how different (and similar) we really are.

The biggest lessons our grandma left us was showing up for people, making others feel important, and living generously. No matter what season you’re in, trusting God matters more than having a perfect plan.
