"Vision isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming the person who actually shows up for their own life."

In today's Mini Monday episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya sits down with Shawn for a thoughtful—and unexpectedly funny—conversation about fixing what's fixable, motivating ourselves without pressure, and developing a clear vision for the person we are already becoming.

This episode is not about reinventing your life or chasing some future version of yourself. It's about leading your thoughts, energy, priorities, and well-being right where you are. Tanya and Shawn talk honestly about how our brains absorb our environments, often without us realizing it, and why awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have for growth.

You'll hear practical insights paired with real-life humor as they explore how we sometimes overperform in one area to make up for another where we're underperforming, and how noticing that pattern can be freeing rather than discouraging. This Mini Monday is grounded, motivating, and refreshingly doable, with reminders that growth doesn't require perfection, just intention.

If you're looking for a Monday reset that feels encouraging, realistic, and human, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to the Superlatively Yes podcast.

Somewhere between IKEA and a hotel room fiasco, we officially stopped caring — and honestly, it felt healthy.

This episode is brought to you by the new official members of the "We Do Not Care Anymore Club." After leaving the house, traveling to San Antonio, and then immediately returning home, only to be unexpectedly confined indoors for over a week, Tanya and Jen are processing life, culture, movies, and expectations in real time with humor, honesty, and zero filter.

They talk about the emotional whiplash of travel followed by forced stillness, including a hotel room fiasco that will absolutely make you feel better about your own travel stories. There's commentary on IKEA, hotel logic that makes no sense, and the strange way being stuck inside recalibrates what you suddenly care about… and what you absolutely do not.

The conversation weaves through movies, modern culture, and the propaganda we're all subtly falling for — productivity myths, lifestyle pressure, and the unspoken rules we've accepted without ever agreeing to them. Tanya and Jen also explore what they may be opting out of heading into 2026, and why choosing comfort, clarity, and humor might actually be the most rebellious move.

If you've ever come home from a trip exhausted, questioned why everything feels so loud, or found yourself thinking "I simply cannot care about this anymore," this episode will feel like sitting in a hotel room with friends, laughing through the chaos and making peace with where you actually are.

Come for the San Antonio stories. Stay for the cultural observations. Leave feeling validated, entertained, and significantly less alone.

Some days pass quietly.
Others leave fingerprints.

In today's Mini Monday episode, Tanya invites you to consider one simple, grounding question: What will be your evidence that this day existed? Not proof of productivity. Not hustle. Not a full reset. Just one intentional action that leaves a mark.

This episode explores what evidence can look like, starting a DIY project, reading a chapter without distraction, watching a movie on purpose, taking a walk, opening a journal, hosting friends, making something with your hands, or capturing a moment you don't want to forget. Because when we choose to participate in our days, even in small ways, they stop slipping through us.

Tanya shares a tender story from her daughter Jordan's birthday celebration and reflects on how moments, photos, conversations, and connection become lasting proof that a day mattered. From printed photos and handwritten captions to long phone calls that nourish the heart, this episode is a reminder that meaning is created—on purpose.

As the week begins, this Mini Monday encourages you to do one thing that leaves evidence. One finished task. One memory. One beginning.

Because tonight, when the day is done, you deserve to say:
Yes. Today existed. And I was part of it.
