We’re officially stepping into 2026, and we’re so glad you’re here with us. Thank you for riding alongside us through every season, shift, and surprise. This episode is our way of welcoming you back, setting the tone for the year ahead, and grounding ourselves in gratitude, honesty, and intention.

In this first episode of the new year, Shan and CoCo reflect on 2025 and the very different, but equally powerful journeys they each experienced.

For Shan, 2025 was a year of major transition, including buying a new home and navigating the loss of a job that ultimately pushed her closer to freedom, clarity, and purpose. For CoCo, it was a year rooted in growth and learning, as she leaned into personal development and creative goals that expanded her vision.

Together, the ladies talk about what it means to enter 2026 with intention, excitement, and openness. From Shan’s unexpected discovery of her femininity to CoCo celebrating Shan’s ability to soften, this conversation sets the stage for deeper dialogue, fresh perspectives, and real healing.

A new segment is also introduced, along with a preview of what’s coming next: new conversations, new guests, bold topics, and yes… more therapy as the year unfolds.
