Listen "E117: New year, same us! ✨"
Episode Synopsis
New year, same us - and honestly, we’re just happy to be here with the glimmer girls. We’re not launching into 2026 with bold resolutions or a long list of “ins and outs.” Instead, we’re letting this season be what it is: a gentle (at times chaotic) chapter of our families growing, slower mornings, and soaking up the good glimmers wherever we can find it.Beth is feeling the call to simplify and Lil hasn’t picked a word for the year (yet!) — but there’s still time and we know she doesn’t like being rushed and in her world there’s no such thing as being late… so whatever!Whether you’re riding the wave of school holidays or gently easing into your work year, this episode is here as a balm for wherever it finds you. Beth’s Recommendation:She’s officially joined the air fryer fandom (late but loving it). If you’ve been on the fence, consider this your sign.Beth’s Recipe Pick:Cypriot grain salad — hearty, fresh, and perfect for summer gatherings.Hellenic Republic’s Cypriot SaladLil’s Recommendation:The Housemaid — a gripping page-turner for your beach bag or bath soak. Bonus? It’s now a movie, so grab a friend, some popcorn and Maltesers, and make a date of it - we all know Lil will be, girl loves the flicks. Lil’s Recipe Pick:Her go-to take on the same dish (because what’s better than two versions of a fave).Recipearce Cypriot SaladIf you loved this episode, we’d be so grateful if you shared it with a fellow parent, left a review, or tagged us over on Instagram @growingthepodcast.
