Almost The New Year

from Highly Talkative

In this episode, we’re sitting down for a real, honest catch-up about life — the kind where everything is on the table. From navigating unexpected home repairs and everyday stress, to the feeling of having a full plate but an empty spoon, we talk about what it really means to keep showing up when you’re tired but still trying.We dive into parenting and how children’s behavior changes as they grow, learning alongside them while doing our best. We also highlight the importance of spending quality time with family, including cheering loud and proud while supporting our baby cousin in the 5A state championship football game 🏈❤️.The conversation shifts to needs vs. wants, especially during hard times around the holidays, when emotions, finances, and expectations can all feel heavier than usual. We also wrap things up with a final workout stretch and post-baby fitness talk, focusing on grace, patience, and progress over perfection.Along the way, we share a little self-awareness (yes… I notice I say “like” and “stuff like that” way too much 😅), and most importantly, we continue to promote therapy — because healing, support, and mental health matter just as much as anything else we talk about here.Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join us for a conversation that’s honest, supportive, and full of heart. You’re not alone — and you don’t have to do life by yourself. 💛🎙️
