#104 - 2025 End of Year Reflection

In this special year-end wrap-up episode, hosts Heather Vickery and Alan Seales kick 2025 out the door the only way they know how: with candid reflection, sharp banter, and a deep appreciation for creative risk. From standout guests and unforgettable conversations to personal highs, hard-won lessons, and the realities of building meaningful work in the middle of busy, complicated lives, Heather and Alan look back on what made this year weird, wonderful, and unexpectedly transformative. They revisit favorite moments from the show, reflect on growth both on and off the mic, unpack what it means to stay curious in a fast-moving creative landscape, and share what they’re carrying forward into 2026. It’s less a recap and more an honest conversation about momentum, friendship, resilience, and why saying yes to opportunity still matters—especially when you’re tired, unsure, or figuring it out in real time. Consider this an inside look at the conversations behind the podcast, the lessons that stuck, and the intentions shaping what comes next.
