In this episode, Natalie and Angela cozy up after the holiday whirlwind to chat about traditions, growth, and the ever‑relatable Nice Girl Syndrome. They dig into how generational conditioning shapes the way women show up in the world—and how media role models can nudge us toward being bolder, braver, and more ourselves at work and beyond.

Together, they unpack the awkward, empowering, and sometimes hilarious process of learning to speak with confidence, set boundaries, and see challenges as invitations to grow. And as the New Year approaches, they share the rituals and intentions that help them step into the next chapter with clarity and heart.
