Just like the old adage goes, “new year, new us.” The only problem is, who can actually stick to that promise? A new you in the new year is a tall ask. Actually, unrealistic, if not completely unnecessary. Sure, we could all use some self-improvement, but, hey, isn’t life meant to be a work in progress? Who do we think we are trying to re-invent ourselves year after year? Madonna? So, let’s back up for a moment. We have a new proposal for you: "new year, same us (just a little bit better)." Isn’t that what we’re all striving for anyway? This episode is just us, taking you into the new year with a fresh start and a bright outlook. Nothing drastic, just a few, small, attainable steps forward. Oh, and by the way, thanks for being on this ride with us.
