Solo Episode: When your year-in-review d...

About this episode

Happy New Year to all my biddies! This week, I'm breaking down how to appreciate your year-in-review, even if nothing profound or life-changing happened in 2024, and why you probably made more progress than you think you did. We're discussing how to handle those *weird* feelings you get when it feels like everyone around you cured cancer and went to the moon and you, on the other hand, managed to barely survive the year that just passed.


I discuss how my faith and trust in God has helped me help myself and why we should embrace and claim the bad days that lie ahead in the new year just as much as the good days. You asked, I answered - how do you handle retroactive jealousy when your partner is the most wonderful non-Chad ever, but you can't seem to get over your feelings about his ex?
