New Year's comes with a lot of pressure to glow up, fix everything, and reinvent your entire life overnight. In this episode, we talk honestly about why January can feel heavy, why resolutions don't stick, and why growth is usually quieter (and messier) than Instagram makes it look. If you're starting the year tired, unsure, burned out, or just trying to survive, this one's for you.

The girls are back after a short break and catching up on all their side quests, from Vegas festivals and endless concerts to the mosquito apocalypse in Phoenix. Between laughs, Kayla and Ashley swap stories about travel chaos, DoorDash detoxing, and rediscovering the joy of cooking real food.

But things get deeper as Ashley opens up about navigating family tension, grief, and the emotional landmines of going through her late mother's belongings. It's honest, raw, and real: the perfect reminder that sometimes doing your best just means showing up, setting boundaries, and finding peace in the middle of change.

This week, Ashley and Kayla get real about the beautiful chaos of life, from dogs on medication and family drama to grief, therapy, and everything in between. Ashley's convinced her pug might be the reincarnation of a Chicago gangster named "Little Eddie," while Kayla opens up about missing her mom, navigating big emotions, and rediscovering balance.

There's laughter, vulnerability, and more than a few "oh my god, same" moments. It's another honest, hilarious reminder that we're all just doing our best.
