Summary
In today's traditional 'end of year review' episode, Laura and Sarah chat about all aspects of 2025! From highlights (there were many) to lowlights (definitely some of those too), they reflect back and discuss their progress on goals set one year prior in multiple domains.
For the Q&A, a listener ponders how to steer extended family away from large or "million plastic pieces" types of gifts for kids.
