We're taught that starting over means erasing who we were. New life, new career, new body, new version. Clean slate or nothing.

This episode pushes back.

It's for women who feel late.

For women who think they have to begin from zero. For women who feel fragmented by many lives, careers, countries, bodies, and identities. Because the truth is quieter and braver than that. Starting again isn't about becoming someone new. It's about listening more deeply to who you've always been.

Yrmis's story proves it.

Nothing was random. Nothing was wasted.

If you've ever felt behind, scattered, or unsure how all your versions fit together, this conversation is your reminder: You're not starting from scratch. You're starting from experience.

It's our last episode of the year, and instead of pretending we're brand new people, we did something more honest.

We let AI write our New Year episode and then reacted in real time. What followed was funny, uncomfortable, accurate, and very us.

We talk about who we became this year, the patterns we're done repeating, the resolutions that didn't survive real life, and what we're actually carrying into the new year.

No glow-ups. No pressure. Just three women, one table, and a very real New Year conversation.

Happy New Year. We're still here.

Art Basel Miami is loud, glossy, and expensive. This episode lives on the B-side. During Miami Art Week, we went off the main stage and into the booths and corridors to find women behind the art. Not the headlines. Not the VIP lists. The real ones.

We met mothers who paused their creativity, and came back anyway. Artists juggling school pickups, illness, immigration, self-doubt, and the need to create. Women who didn't wait to feel ready. They just started.

These are unfiltered conversations recorded on the go during Art Basel and Miami Art Week. Honest talks about art, motherhood, identity, survival, and why creativity becomes rebellion when women are expected to carry everything.

This is the part of Art Basel you don't see framed. The B-side sounds better anyway.
