You're listening to Pantsuit Politics,

and it is our last regular show of the year, and as is our tradition.

We're going to look ahead into the new year. We'll share some of our predictions, hopes, fears, and end by sharing our words of the year for 2026.

So we will be off for the next two weeks along with our team, but don't worry, we have some very special episodes for you. For 2025, we slow read the book Habits of the Heart, which we loved. And we talked about the book on our premium channels. We're going to share all four of those episodes that we recorded in the main feed over the break so that if you didn't join us there on Substack, you still get the benefit of the wisdom embodied in this book. And it is so relevant to what we're living right now and a great book to set you up for thinking about what kind of life you want to live in 2026. So we hope you'll join us for those episodes over the next two weeks. And then we'll see you back here on our regular schedule in January.

Next up, let's talk about 2026.

The holidays bring so much joy, but also so much excess.

I've been trying to find small practical ways to celebrate the season without all the waste.

And one of the best solutions I've found is Mill.

Mill is the odorless, effortless, fully automated food recycler, and it's been my one easy

thing that makes reducing food waste a breeze during this busy time of year. Mill makes it so easy

to keep food out of the landfill. Just dropping your food scraps from turkey bones to pie crust

and veggie pills, and that's it. Mill quietly transforms them into nutrient-wrench grounds overnight. Plus, I can keep filling it for weeks. I'm so glad I have my Mill food recycler in time for the holidays because it's seriously made hosting so much easier. When our kitchen is full of people cooking, chatting, making a mess, I never have to think twice about the trash. I just toss the scraps, close the lid and it's handled. No overflowing bends, no smells, no stress. It's such a small thing. But it makes hosting feel calmer and more aligned with the kind of home I want to run, when that's thoughtful, responsible, and a little more sustainable. Add mill to your wishlift or gift one now. Get up to $200 off during their biggest sale of the season, Thursday, November 20th through Monday, December 1st.

Miss the sale, you can still get $75 off with code Pantsuit.
