Everyone online seems to be sharing their fondest memories of a year that marks the last time a lot of us felt uninhibited from life's greatest stressors: adulthood, the economy, the government, unprecedented events...you name it. It makes sense that everyone wants to bask in the nostalgia.

The funny thing is, 2016 was the worst year of my life.

But this isn't just about me. In this episode, we're discussing the juxtaposition of nostalgia and the true story of what happened. Beyond that, we'll discuss just how much has changed since 2016, and why some of it may actually be for the better.

One of the biggest questions I've had stirring around in my head this past year was what a woman's role really is in our current age - where fascists are abundant, young people have endless access to influence (for better or worse), and so many people seem so excited to throw inclusivity and equity out the window. Where are we? How did we get here? And who are the voices we need to be listening to to guide us through?

History won't remember 2025 fondly, but I think I will. There was a lot of upset, a lot of rage, a lot of worry and wallowing, but I'm thanking my lucky stars that all of it was met with unrelenting love and support. If anything, this year taught me just how many people have my back, and how easy it actually is to seek help when it's needed.

Don't believe me? Then this is the perfect episode for you.

Welcome back, friends. 💫
