Summary
35: I entered 2025 with a crystal-clear vision of my future. I left it having flipped that all upside down after a breakup and a return to the city I thought I’d never get to live in again.
The older we get, the harder breakups become because we are not only contending with a solid idea of what our lives will look like, but also with the social pressure to settle down and start “building a life.” But what if building a life looks like coming back to the thing that excites you as an individual?
I am so grateful for my relationship and wouldn’t change a single thing about it, but it opened the door to a new chapter and I decided to walk through it. Leave a comment or shoot me a DM if you’ve been through something similar. (Something tells me a lot of you have.)

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome back to Working Title. I am your host, Margo, and I'm so glad you're here. My podcast has no official tagline or description, but I just finished editing this episode, and I realized that I may need to give a little bit more context to anyone who is new here. I've been creating content |
| 0:23.1 | online for close to 14 years now, which is absolutely crazy. And working title is kind of like |
| 0:30.7 | my diary where I get to talk through different phases of my life as I'm figuring out who I am, what's important to me, and everything |
| 0:40.2 | else that bubbles up to the surface in my 20s and possibly beyond. It felt like a good time of year |
| 0:47.1 | to do a check-in since I was a little bit distant last year on the podcast. I only got two |
| 0:53.0 | episodes up, so we had a lot to catch up on. |
| 0:55.5 | In the first half of the episode, I allude to a lot of change that happened in 2025. |
| 1:02.1 | So just so you're not confused as you're listening, I went through a pretty big breakup last |
| 1:07.3 | year, and I haven't really spoken much about it online. I needed time to figure out |
| 1:12.5 | exactly what I wanted to say and the important takeaways and what would actually be helpful |
| 1:17.2 | and not just me going on a tangent. And I think this episode does that or got as close to that as I |
| 1:24.1 | can muster. In this episode, I also touched on goal setting and what that looks like |
| 1:29.4 | for me now and a change in perspective on hitting goals and changing goals throughout the year. |
| 1:36.2 | And I also kind of dip my toes into talking about spirituality and trusting the path that I'm on. |
| 1:42.2 | Please bear with me in this episode as I snake through all of these topics. |
| 1:47.4 | Feels definitely a little bit more vulnerable than what I put out on other platforms. |
| 1:52.9 | But I'm excited for you guys to listen and even more excited to get your feedback and |
| 1:58.2 | hear your own stories if there's anything that you relate to. |
| 2:01.2 | Without further ado, I will leave you with what I originally recorded and I hope you love it. |
| 2:07.5 | Okay, I'll catch you in a second. |
| 2:16.1 | Well, well, well, if it isn't a practically defunct podcast momentarily coming up for air, |
| 2:25.2 | happy 2026 everyone. It's going to be a good year. Do you feel it? What better way to start off the |
