Summary
"I needed you all to know that I was drowning, and I was scared."
It's tradition: Happy New Year, and welcome to the annual State of the Ali on the Run Show episode! In this solo episode, I'm recapping 2025: the personal highs and lows, the professional highs and lows, and the beauty and chaos in between all of it.
Last year, the Ali on the Run Show surpassed 25 million downloads. There were 82 episodes of the show with more than 70 guests (32 first-timers, and 38 recurring and returning guests), plus 11 solo episodes and six live shows. (The guest with the most podcast appearances in 2025: Cousin Jackie!)

| 0:36.3 | back, my job is to |
| 0:37.6 | hold your hand and help you pick up the pace, whatever that means to you. So that's the gist. That's what |
