2025 Tried Us… We Almost Quit | New Year New Us? | Get The Gist

This week on Get The Gist, it’s a Just Us episode with Roz, Ri & Princess 🤍We kick things off reflecting on the last episode (because let’s be honest… the buzz balls were BUZZING), before diving headfirst into the chaos that is modern life, money, content, and constant consumption.We get into the oversaturation of social media, TikTok Shop madness, Vlogmas fatigue, and that feeling of always being sold to online. From commission-paid content to creators pulling out of platforms altogether, we ask the real question: are we doing too much?The conversation turns to consumerism, buying what you want vs what you need and whether treating yourself can sometimes be an act of self-love. We also talk about the cost of living crisis, eye-watering rent and electricity bills, broken heat pumps, oil heaters, and the reality of baffing with a kettle and a bucket 🪣 (because survival).We share personal life updates too:✨ new corporate roles✨ passing major exams✨ gym routines, deep cleans & first-time chimichurri winsAs we wrap up, we reflect on 2025, a year we can only describe as Overcoming. From nearly quitting to pushing through suitcase struggles, filming costs, and burnout, we celebrate how far the podcast (and the girls) have come, and the community that kept us going.We finish with a listener dilemma that sparks a deep and sensitive conversation around family, mental health, boundaries, and whether rekindling a fractured sibling relationship is the right choice.As always… get the gist, and get comfy 💬✨⸻Topics we cover:• TikTok Shop & creator burnout• Vlogmas & content overload• Feeling constantly sold to online• Want vs need spending• Why rent & bills are INSANE• Bucket bathing & cost-of-living realities• Reflecting on 2025• Listener dilemma: family, mental health & boundaries⸻💬 Let us know in the comments:Are we consuming too much?
