Recency bias is a sneaky little liar. It makes us forget the mountain we climbed in January just because we’re staring at a different one in December.

In this episode, we’re going old school - just Mer and Craig - to take you with us on our end of year reflection... which turned into our 2025 recap. We’re pulling back the curtain on the wins (like becoming best-selling authors and launching our Mastermind) and the "bruises" that taught us more than a textbook ever could.

We’re diving deep into:

• The Year of the Book: How writing The 200% Marriage together was the ultimate relationship test (and spoiler: we passed).

• Choosing Your "Hard": Why being an entrepreneur is a beautiful mess and how resilience became our superpower this year.

• The "F*ck Yes" Filter: Learning to spot your people and realizing that if it’s not a "F*ck Yes," it’s a "F*ck No."

• Integrity Recessions: Dealing with the disappointment of others not sharing your values, and how to hold boundaries even when it’s "uncomfortable as f*ck."

• Vulnerability Hangovers: Craig’s "worst nightmare" stage moment and why speaking from the heart beats a memorized poem every. single. time.

Losing Mer’s dad made this year of "firsts" one of our hardest personal years, but it also solidified why we do what we do. Relationships are the only thing that matters in an AI-driven world.

Grab a cup of tea (or two if you double fist 'em like Mer does) and join us as we pump our own tires, celebrate the life-changing shifts our clients made, and prep to our hard lessons into an even bigger 2026.

Remember: Small hinges swing big doors, but reflection builds the frame.
