The Honest Truth About How Tough This Year Really Was

This year stretched me, challenged me, grounded me, and changed me in every way possible — and today, I’m opening up about all of it. 

In this cozy, honest, and emotional Thanksgiving-week conversation, Ian and I sit down to reflect on the past year — the hardest moments, the proudest wins, and the lessons that shifted everything for us as individuals, partners, and parents.

We talk about the beauty of slowing down, the chaos of moving, setting new traditions in our new home, training for races together, regaining my period after two years, the identity shifts in our careers, and the moments with our kids that we never want to forget.

This episode is equal parts fun, heartfelt, nostalgic, and grounding — the perfect listen for Thanksgiving week.
