It's the last episode of 2025 and we are reflecting on the year – the highs and lows, the lessons learned, and if we have any regrets. Then we discuss regrets in general, being consumed by "micro regrets" and three steps for managing it, our feelings on moving to LA and the potential of moving back to NYC, and our audience's biggest regrets of the year (with focus on staying in a relationship or job for too long). We are also sharing our listeners' biggest accomplishments of the year, recapping the holiday show and our favorite "secret segment," and discussing the age we're scared of. Enjoy!

'Tis the season to talk about peace, love…and drama. We discuss the dynamics of spending the holidays with family when you're in a relationship, how to navigate the in-laws, what most couples are doing (and not doing), and our controversial opinion on spending every holiday with your partner. We also talk about family estrangement, our feelings on "Life is too short to fight with your family," and how to work through some of these hard situations. Then we share some of our listeners' hilarious/traumatic holiday experiences with partners' families that truly shocked us. And before we get into the topic, we're debating two polarizing shower behaviors, and Rayna has a big announcement! Enjoy!
