Episode 109: Good Riddance and Great Energy for 2026

As the year closes, Sherry and Carly sit down for a real, reflective (and slightly sassy) look back at 2025—sharing what they’re leaving behind and what they’re proudly carrying into 2026. From team growth to pricing shifts, and vendor challenges to leadership lessons, this episode is part confession, part celebration, and full of energy for the year ahead.
