Wait… Where Did 2025 Go? Recaping Motherhood, Careers, and Surviving the In-Between

Connect with us :)It’s here. The season finale of Year 1. 🥹We started this podcast with nothing but Amazon microphones, chaotic voice notes, and a shared delusional dream… and somehow — we’re wrapping 2025 with 1,000+ downloads and a whole community of in-betweeners who get it. Like… are we micro-celebs now?? (Soft yes. Humble brag yes.)In this episode, Laura & Leni look back on a year of glowing up in real time, motherhood shifts, career 180s, mental detours, identity questions, and the art of holding it all together with a messy bun and holiday cheer.We’re talking: ✨ From burnout to breakthroughs 💼 Career pivots & choosing ourselves 👶 Mom life + personal ambition 🌧 Seasonal motivation (or whatever that is) 🌎 Culture, language, and figuring it out in Spanglish 💕 Community, vulnerability & cute tears onlyAnd of course, what we’re leaving in 2025: 🚫 Waiting for permission 🚫 Decision paralysis 🚫 Comparing ourselves to strangers on the internet 🚫 “I’ll do it when I feel ready” energyThen we’re stepping full-force into our Delusional Era in 2026: 🌟 Bigger conversations 🌟 Bold risks 🌟 Joy that’s real, not curated 🌟 More “Wait… WTF just happened?” moments 🌟 More growth, even if it’s messyThank you for listening, sharing, posting, DM’ing… for choosing to spend time with us and making this space feel like home. You made us feel seen, supported, and a little less unhinged, in the best way. 💗So pour the cafecito, eggnog, or champagne… Take a deep breath And celebrate how far you’ve come this year. Season 2 loading. See you in 2026. Happy Holidays and remember to ask yourself… Wait… What’s Next? 🎙💕Support the showWait...
