Finally, Pooja and Nikita even put their wits to the test in a few rounds of playful games and challenges.

Key points

1. Reflections

Pooja and Nikita reflect on their experiences in 2024 so far. Pooja describes the year as busy and feels she has been crankier as a result. Nikita discusses her personal experiences, describing how she began the year at a low point due to experiencing a low mood episode during the winter months.

2. Gratitude

The hosts express gratitude for various things in their lives. While Nikita is thankful for her child's nursery and the teachers there, Pooja is thankful for the idea that led to the creation of the podcast. Pooja also acknowledges the viewers who watch the podcast without commenting ;) and appreciates the friends who provide feedback and support, particularly those who share the podcast with others. Both agree that they are grateful for the positive reception the podcast has received so far, and they look forward to taking more creative risks in the future.

3. Games

Now what’s a Christmas episode without a bit of fun and games?

a) A-Z game: The first game involved naming gifts - one for each letter of the alphabet, with each person getting a point for each valid gift they could name. Round two was similar, but they had to name festive items, not limited to Christmas.

b) What would you do?: Next up the duo played a game called "What Would You Do," where they drew cards with hypothetical situations and described what they would do in the situation, while wearing funny Christmas glasses.
