EP 103 - WHATADO: Embracing Where You Are While Pursuing More in 2025
***

Happy New Year, kooks! This week, Jess and Caroline discuss a few listener WHATADOs that revolve around goals for 2025. Think finding the right motivation, working through emotional dysregulation, starting a side hustle, and making peace with being single.

But of course, they talk about a few pet peeves, first: New Years itself, hairbands on people’s wrists, and smartphones. This episode is for you if you struggle with your “why,” need help balancing your work goals with life events, and want to make a life you love while being single. It’s part science, part art. Let’s do this.
