Surviving 2025: Emotional Go-Bags, Evolving Together, and Finding Joy in Challenging Times (114)

In this episode, Kelly and I get real about what it means to navigate the wild ride that is 2025. We dive into the tools, practices, and mindset shifts tucked into our "emotional go-bags"—the essentials we lean on to make it through these times.
