| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:09.7 | Hello, hello, and welcome back to the What We Said podcast, everybody. |
| 0:14.4 | Hey guys. |
| 0:15.4 | Hope you had a fabulous Christmas. |
| 0:17.8 | I hope you are feeling cozy today. |
| 0:19.8 | I hope you're feeling your heart is full and you're |
| 0:22.7 | ready to listen to yapping galore. Today we're doing our advice column because we know you've been |
| 0:28.7 | feigning for it all month. We're locked in. I feel like we're both feeling like teachers today. |
| 0:33.4 | Very astute. Uh-huh. And I'm ready to give the best advice of my life. We're in the twilight zone. We know how it is where, you know, we're between holidays and the new year. I'm curious how I'm going to feel at this exact time. If I'm going to feel inspired and excited for the new year. Okay, I'm anticipating that in this moment I'm like purging and cleaning. That's what I'm picturing. Yeah. I'm wondering if that will be the case or if I will just be like, nope, I'm laying down on the couch and I'm doing absolutely nothing. Yeah, we'll see. It's a toss-up for me during that time. I'm either like really on it wanting to start the new year so fresh or I'm just |
| 1:11.5 | like, the new year starts in February. Yeah, that's, I think that's where I'll be. I think middle |
| 1:16.6 | of January, I'll be feeling the energy to get started of, you know, start the process. Yeah. |
| 1:23.2 | Of the vision board, of the work in. But I feel like after Christmas, New Year's, you know, that's when people are off too. That's when people have time to like reset. Yeah. And you can like hang out with more people and like see family and things like that. So I feel like this year, I'm going to try and just soak that in for the new year instead of being like, you know, going back to what we talked about in previous ones. I won't be getting up for my 5 a.m. |
| 1:45.6 | I'll be spending time with my loved ones like normal adults do. I'm just kidding. I love that. Well, we'll talk about our New Year's goals soon, guys. Don't you worry. We'll get into all that. We know you want that. You know, we need a rebrand always in 2026. I fully thought it was 2026 recently. |
| 2:01.4 | I was writing it down. |
| 2:02.4 | What? |
| 2:02.8 | And Leif was like, |
| 2:04.0 | you know, it's 2025. I'm like, what? I genuinely, huh? It was like convinced that it was 2026 already. |
| 2:10.1 | It was the weirdest feeling. That is weird. I jumped ahead. So I'm already apparently mentally there. |
| 2:16.1 | You're not down for the odd years. |
| 2:18.5 | I guess not. |
