Girls Night #318: If You Want The New Year To Feel Different... Start Here Dec 9, 2025 2052 For years, I thought New Year's resolutions would finally turn me into the “best version” of myself. Spoiler: they mostly left me discouraged, exhausted, and convinced I was already falling behind. So I stopped.

Girls Night #314: I Want Both a Career and Kids — But Everyone Says I Have to Choose Nov 10, 2025 3105 All season long, we’ve been talking about what I call The Everything Era—that season when you have to make so many of the biggest, most consequential decisions of your life all at once.
