Episode 35: Minisode - Done Is Better Than Perfect — New Year Reflections & Letting It Be Simple
This New Year’s mini episode is a pause button — a moment to look back before rushing forward.
Krista and Samantha reflect on the whirlwind of December, name the wins they’re proud of from the past year, and talk honestly about what they’re leaving behind as they head into a new one. From clutter (physical and mental) to unrealistic expectations, this conversation centres on simplicity, self-care, and choosing what actually matters.
They share how taking time off created clarity, why themes can be more useful than resolutions, and how cherishing small, ordinary moments with family often ends up being the most meaningful part of the year.
It’s a gentle reset — no pressure, no grand declarations — just an invitation to move into the next season with a little more ease.
