In this episode, we’re wrapping up our Thankful Series by looking at how much can change in a year — in our careers, friendships, motherhood, grief, and how we see ourselves.

We kick things off with a Friday night catch-up from the Fusion Home Loans office (shoutout to our people 🥂), talk about “money-producing activities,” PTA burnout, kids’ school events, and what it’s like to work nonstop from wake-up to 9–10 p.m. Then in The Scroll, we spiral into all things Wicked (we are firmly Team For Good), new Gen Z lingo like “flow state” and “alternative face,” and why a bob is apparently the ultimate baddie test.

From there, we get honest about growth:

• Morgan shares what it was like to leave a structured program, find her own voice again, and feel more connected to herself than ever — without being held hostage by who she used to be.

• Natasha shares where she was a year ago after losing her mom, leaving a relationship and corporate America, and how she’s finally in a season of truly liking herself. We talk friendships that no longer fit, being used for “status,” finding real support, and why mean-girl energy in corporate spaces is tired and done.

We close out with a sweet listener text about being thankful to work from home (less road rage, less sickness, more peace 🙌) and announce our December “Favorite Things” giveaway: a fully loaded boxed treat of our current obsessions as a thank-you for riding with us.

If you’re not where you want to be yet, but you’re definitely not who you were a year ago, this one’s for you. 💛
