Listen "A New Year Special"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textEver wondered why our New Year's resolutions tend to end up as dust collectors, much like that treadmill turned clothes rack? We'll share our comical escapades with forgotten gym memberships and the yearly ritual of holiday overindulgence, all while trying to better ourselves. But it's not just about the physical; the pursuit of mental enrichment through audiobooks and new music also brings its own set of challenges. Balancing these ambitions with life's everyday responsibilities is something we all grapple with, and we’re here to share some laughs and insights about making time for what matters amidst the chaos.Switching gears, we dive into the spiritual realm with a candid conversation on fasting and self-discipline. It's not all about food; sometimes, giving up technology or that daily soda can be a more meaningful challenge. We discuss how these substitutions can help refocus our spiritual priorities and the ever-present struggle of slipping back into old habits. The journey is all about finding the delicate balance between spiritual dedication and maintaining life's practicalities, all while trying to avoid the disappointment of setting unrealistic goals.Our culinary explorations take us from the tangy trails of sauerkraut to peculiar food obsessions like cottage cheese with pineapple. You’ll hear quirky anecdotes about local dining scenes and the colorful characters that make these experiences memorable. As the conversation lightens up, we chat about holiday decorations and spirited Monopoly games, sprinkling in stories of permanent lights and potential banker skimming. With a touch of gratitude and a dash of festive spirit, we'll leave you with a heartfelt reflection on embracing the New Year with enthusiasm and joy.
