Hi friends,
It's Tanya and Jen, and we had so much fun recording this first episode of 2026 with you.

This one started the way most of our best conversations do over chips and salsa… and somehow turned into a full-blown heart-to-heart about quitting, trying again, common sense, and how we're all accidentally wasting our talents on our phones.

We talk about National Quitters Day (the second Friday in January — yes, we Googled it 😂) and why so many of us give up on our goals so quickly. Not because we're lazy… but because we set the bar so high and rely on motivation instead of grace.

In this episode, we laugh, ramble, and tell the truth about:

• Why motivation never stays

• How "all-or-nothing" thinking makes us quit

• The Trim Healthy Mama rule that changed how we see mistakes (you get a reset in three hours!)

• Why tiny choices beat big, dramatic overhauls

• Learning to cook ten meals instead of becoming a gourmet overnight

• Reading more books and scrolling less

• And giving ourselves permission to start again tomorrow

We also went full-soapbox about society in 2026 — because apparently we had some feelings 😅 — including:

• Traffic etiquette (LET ONE CAR IN, PEOPLE)

• Chick-fil-A drive-thru behavior

• Airport pajamas, bare feet, and barbecue on planes

• Bathroom manners (yes, we said boob-water)

• And why using a turn signal is not optional

And then we got serious in the best way:
We talked about trading TikTok for our talents — playing piano, cooking, reading, learning, creating, living — instead of scrolling away our lives.

Jen shared her goal to read more in 2026 after going from 50 books to 12, and Tanya committed (on record!) to learning how to cook real meals instead of surviving on crockpot chaos and restaurant food.

We ended with a simple invitation:
What's one thing you could quit this year?
And what's one thing you should make more room for?

You don't have to be perfect.
You don't have to do it every day.
You just have to keep coming back.

Thank you for being here with us, laughing with us, growing with us, and doing life alongside us. We love you so much, and we can't wait to see what 2026 holds for all of us. 💛

Tanya & Jen

In this Mini Monday episode of Superlatively Yes, Tanya invites you to slow down, reset, and gently begin your week, and your year, with purpose instead of pressure.

We're living in a noisy, distracted world where most of us wake up already feeling behind. In this episode, Tanya talks about how easy it is to spend our days reacting, scrolling, and carrying too much in our minds and why a small reset can change everything.

You'll hear:

• Why modern life leaves us overstimulated and exhausted

• The power of pausing instead of constantly pushing

• How writing things down helps the brain feel lighter and more in control

• Why simple lists, prayers, or honest conversations can bring clarity

• How small, finished tasks build a meaningful life over time

Tanya also shares a heartfelt reflection on the journey of Superlatively Yes from its beginnings in early 2022 with Jasa, to Jennifer becoming a co-host, and how the podcast continues to grow and evolve alongside its listeners. This episode is a reminder that this show was never about being polished; it's about being present and walking through life together.

As we step into 2026, this Mini Monday is a gentle invitation to live on purpose to notice, to choose, and to build a life you're proud of, one small moment at a time.

To close, Tanya gives one simple challenge:
Do one irreversible task today.
One small thing that leaves evidence that today mattered — a walk, a prayer, a phone call, a page written, or a surface cleaned.

Because we don't change our lives with giant leaps.
We change them with small, finished steps.

My sweet friends 🤍
If you're feeling a little foggy after the holidays, distracted, behind, or like everything is slightly "off," this episode is for you. Today isn't about restarting your whole life. It's a reset. A soft landing into 2026 with some simple systems that help your brain breathe again.

What this episode is really about:

Resetting, not reinventing.

Getting the noise out of your head and into one place (because progress is pleasing to the brain).

Creating evidence that the day moved forward.

Recapturing our time, attention, and talent (instead of handing it to doom scrolling).

Key takeaways (quick + clear):
✅ Progress calms the brain. Open loops create mental noise.
✅ A brain dump is a reset button. The goal isn't to do it all—the goal is to see it.
✅ Saving something to your phone isn't an action step. (Ask me how I know 😂)
✅ One irreversible task a day builds momentum and self-trust.
✅ When nothing in your environment reminds you what matters, you lose focus. That's why boards work.
