Summary

Disclaimer- Beyonce Bowl discussion ends at 20:57

In this episode of So What Now, Carla and Dex reflect on everything 2024 threw their way—spoiler alert: it wasn't all vacations and TikTok dances. Dex admits that fear of losing stability had her out here playing it way too safe. Carla drops gems about showing up as your real self (even when your real self is tired) and the financial discipline it takes to buy a house without letting your Pinterest boards dictate your budget.

But it wasn't all wins—Dex opens up about how 2024 almost broke her, revealing she discovered she was "depreshee" (yes, that's a thing), and finally got herself into therapy. Meanwhile, Carla's reflecting on how hard it can be to balance the hustle with mental health and personal growth.

The hosts also take a look back at their 2024 vision boards—and let's just say, some dreams didn't make it off the board, but some did. They also dish on the biggest pop culture moments—Drake vs. Kendrick, TikTok influencers like Ressa Tessa and Morgan Bailey blowing up, the chaos of the U.S. election, and, of course, Beyoncé!

Tune in for laughs, lessons, and plenty of hot takes as Carla and Dex close out the year with a dose of reality and a sneak peek at what's coming next.

SO WHAT NOW? TAKEAWAYS

A difficult year can still be a good year. Our biggest blessings come from our toughest lessons.

Don't let fake stability hold you back. Act out of wisdom not out of fear.

You deserve to show up as your authentic self in all spaces. Live boldly
