From winter blues and holiday hangovers to big wins we need to celebrate — like Speak Reel making it into a magazine! I am unpacking it all. And because it’s February… let’s settle it: is Valentine’s Day cheesy, overrated, or low-key our love language?

Also, check out Sweet Sips Soda LLc, my newest business venture with Meaghan- it’s family fun on a whole new level. We are mixing up dirty sodas, alanis and making your next event that much sweeter!

I will be talking about the life we were told to expect—school, marriage, kids, success—and what happens when at 38 you realize it’s time to pivot. When “living your best life” still feels like Groundhog Day, this one hits different.

Plus an NGL moment: what’s the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

And for the first time ever John and his bestie Chris join the kitchen chat together to talk all things Christmas.

I am catching a full-blown Case of the Shoppies: Black Friday nostalgia, and the Christmas gifts that raised us— what were the ones that made absolutely no sense, yet you begged for anyway? Grab an iced coffee or a marg and let’s get reel!
