2025 Was A Choice

from Left of Midlife Hosted by leftofmidlife

In the final 2025 episode we're wrapping up a year that somehow managed to be exhausting, infuriating, and meaningful all at once. We talk honestly about burnout (political, personal, existential), the chaos of juggling real life with activism and microphones, and what it took to keep showing up when the world felt deeply unserious. But it's not all struggle bus. We celebrate the real wins - growth that didn't go viral, conversations that mattered, a community that showed up, and the radical act of staying human through it all. We check in on what midlife taught us in 2025, and what we're finally done apologizing for. Then we look ahead to 2026 with resolutions that ditch hustle culture in favor of rest, sanity, sustainable activism, and joy that doesn't need to be productive. No toxic positivity. No vision boards that lie. Just snark, honesty, and reminder that you don't have to do everything - but you can do something. We'll rest. We'll rage. We'll record. See you in 2026 - new year, same loveable assholes.
