Season 2, Episode 1: New Year, Same Chaos (But Better Boundaries)

from Vertically Unstable · host Vertically Unstable

New year, same us — just a little wiser and maybe slightly less rested.In this Season 2 kickoff, Kelly and Christy ease into the new year by reflecting on the holidays, the people who got them through it, and the quiet power of family and community when life feels full and messy all at once. From there, they dig into the annual pressure cooker known as New Year’s resolutions — questioning who they’re really for, why they so often fail, and how unrealistic expectations can suck the joy out of growth before it even starts.With plenty of laughs and a healthy dose of honesty, the conversation reframes change as something incremental, imperfect, and deeply human. This episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be loud, linear, or Instagram-worthy — and that sometimes the most powerful reset is choosing self-compassion over self-criticism.Welcome to Season 2. We’re doing the new year our way. 🥂
