a lesson that i learned this year from my sister in AA is that people are constantly trying to "run the show". we want to "run the show" by controlling the things that we simply can't-- like telling the slow person at the checkout stand to hurry tf up. whenever i feel myself attempting to "run the show", i pause to reflect on what's causing this need for control and i pause again to breathe. when you take a step back & realize that our human purpose is to simply ✨ENJOY✨ the show, life gets insanely better!!!
the moving out of hometown comfort hit so hard. all throughout this episode I've been thinking about what it could be like to move out to Seattle from my hometown (a dream I have had for years now, but am finally in a place to pursue it). it felt like y'all were speaking directly to me, thank you both for the encouragement and thank you to whoever wrote in about their desire to move
thanks to the one who wrote about having an umbrella word for the year, i felt so connected to that. 2024 was the year of grief and hardship for me, and now 2025 is going to be growth. i’m so happy to put this shitty year behind me, happy new year everyone
Medical perspective: please don’t stop alcohol cold turkey if you were drinking daily. It can cause withdrawal seizures. Please talk to your pcp before stopping
Love this ep!! I had to check and make sure I didn't accidentally write in because the second entry was so spot on.. down to my word this year is growth and my word for next is also balance. Thank you for sharing!!!
I love listening to you girls and love the new set up! Lowkey I miss your guys' outfit of the days because I love your styles and hearing where you shop! Hope y'all are having a wonderful new year!!
To moon❤ Hi friend, I hope you see this. I am 2 years and 4 months sober now and I can tell you this will be the best decision you can make for yourself. I’m 27 now and living truly my best life because of sobriety. It forces you to find yourself and create a better life. I hope you too can feel this light 💜💜💜 Sobriety fucking rocks
the solo traveler: I relate to you so much and I wanna say PLEASE don’t let your worries hold you back (even though they are so valid). The other travelers you meet throughout this adventure will likely be people with similar mindsets as you! It will feel weird socializing with strangers, but it will come more naturally than you expect since you’re all kind of in the same boat :) and HEAVY on everything the girls^ said 🫶🫶🫶 good luck, have fun ✨
Try to mix wet food with some dry food she might try that! Cats really need liquids so try to sneak it in. Also get her a cat tree and small scratchers I have 3 cats and having scratchers around the house keeps them from scratching furniture💗
I’m 26 and have been sober for 2 years and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done! I feel so much better about myself and even socializing because I don’t need a substance to go have fun. I’d also recommend reading the book “Quit like a Woman” it helped me a lot! You can do it!
*Moon if you're in the comments* - I'm also a fellow South Aussie, & I'm fairly sober but pretty fun (just got back from taking my kayak around the South Pacific) - Let me know if you want a local buddy to help with wholesome fun, or just support ❤ (I'm in Adelaide towards the south, but I've got an SUV with a mattress in that I regularly use for road trips etc, so always using that) - Congrats getting closer to being sober hun 🌻 Definitely doesn't mean less fun 🌈
Right on!! actually the new years starts on the first day of spring in Persian culture when everything's rejuvenating so it all makes sense nature wise too
For wet food for Vix! Try viva raw. My cats LOVE it and our relationship has gotten stronger bc of that food. It’s crazy but it makes me happy knowing they are getting all of these vitamins and staying hydrated. Bc cats don’t drink a lot of water -naturally in the wild, that’s also why we have a fountain too. Love yall.
Alex!! I had the same resolution as you last year (slowing down). I would get so flustered and overstimulated for no reason so I actively started telling myself out loud SLOW DOWN every time I felt myself rushing through something. It seems so small but it has been life changing. PS, would you gals be open to sharing your film lighting setup to get the moooody look?? Love you both :)
One of my cats, Bones, has little interest in wet food. Nothing I did could convince him to eat it. Our last vet visit the dr told me that there’s a school of thought that cats imprint on whatever kind of food they ate as kittens. It makes sense to me because my first cat, E.Jay, was in a cage with wet food when I adopted him and he’ll only eat kibble when he is very hungry. Bones was in a cage with kibble and now he’ll only eat a few bites of wet food.
Listened to this while making my 2025 bingo card & a weekly planner on canva that has a column for daily meals (I want to eat healthier) and daily habits like walking and stretching daily ❤
My cat also REFUSES to eat wet food no matter how many brands or flavors I’ve tried and same with those little tube looking treats /: I just always make sure she has plenty of water to drink!! So excited for more cat stories 🥰 vixen is a cutie!!
Alex! Please be careful with and freeze dried/raw treats or food right now! Bird flu has been found in it and one cat has confirmed died as well so make sure nothing is raw! But congrats and I’m so happy for you and your new little bean!! ❣️
Ladiessssss!!!! Sorry I’m late, but it the last day of the year!! I hope you got through all your worries for the year. And if not then we can tackle them tomorrow. New year, new challenges, new chapters, new possibilities. We got this y’all. Hope you had an amazing 2024. See you in 2025🎉🎉🎉🎉
I didn’t like Nosfetatu either! It wasn’t BAD, it was just slow like you said! They def could’ve cut like 20 minutes out I think. My husband loved it though. I’ve heard 50/50 reviews!
If vixen likes dry food it’s not as big of a problem as long as she is drinking plenty of water, that’s the appeal of canned food but as of right now be careful with raw and freeze dried foods for animals the avain influenza is going around and has contaminated meat and it affects our pets. I’m not trying to be fear mongering I just want to spread that message
My entry was the last one Alex read!! I am so glad I could share my experience with new year's intentions and you thought it was important to share my experience with others 🫶🏻 (btw Alex and I share the same bday! my bday is 9/8/98)
I wish you could’ve seen my face, when I heard Alex read my email! 🥹🥹 -Im just trying to be less hard on myself with setting resolutions that are a little unrealistic for me. And looking at resolutions as an Intention instead of a chore is a great mindset. ❤️ I hope everyone has an amazing New Year. This year has been so high and so low, so Im ready to see what 2025 brings! Congratulations on the new Kitty! I can’t wait to listen to Oddvice in the new year. ❤️❤️

In South Africa we get to start the new year in the middle of summer and it’s so great for having motivation to set goals and resolutions. 💕

Ugh that’s sooo smart! I always stay up so late on tik tok 😭😭
