It's once again time for another book report episode! Aiden read two books and Jacquelyn read three, so now they are tied at six books a piece for 2026. They discuss what books they read this month, what they look forward to reading, and whether or not they will stop reading a book if they don't like it.

Heyyyyyyy! Jacquelyn is back from her week long staycation! She took a full week off of work to relax, reset, and reflect. Sometimes, giving yourself a break can allow you to reflect more clearly on your life. She explains what a staycation is and why she loves them, talks about the importance of reflection and doing things for the right reasons, and how taking breaks is crucial for being "productive" and accomplishing your goals.

No, I don't think so. However, Gen Z has become the first generation in modern history to be dumber than the previous generation. The main reason? Most suspect their excessive screen time. Jacquelyn talks about this, the Gen Z reading crisis, and how it's important for people to build a healthy relationship with technology, whatever that looks like for them.

Jacquelyn's been going through a tough time, but she thinks she's finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Her biggest problem? Most likely her mindset. She talks about this, how making small changes matter greatly, why it's silly to quit your goals, and more.

It's time for the first book report episode of the month! Aiden will be joining Jacquelyn each month to discuss the books they read and see who can read the most books by the end of the year.

It seems there is a new wave of movie adaptations of books being created, and Jacquelyn is here for it! She talks about some of the ones she has watched in the past, and gives a brief overview of some of the ones set to be released in the upcoming year!

It's time for another podcast episode that Jacquelyn hardly planned out! That's okay, because it's on theme for this episode. She discusses how sometimes even simple tasks can feel difficult to start, but sometimes you have to push through that feeling to feel better in the long run. She also discusses how you have to learn what is best for you and how life is hard, so it's sometimes best to learn how to make it as simple as possible.

There's a rising trend of people calling for 2026 to be the year where people "go analog." Basically, they mean that people should put their phones down and go back to using physical media and actually living their lives. Jacquelyn discusses this trend, the "analog bag" trend, social media addiction, digital fatigue, and more.
