This is our Christmas special and the final episode…
of the year.

In this episode of Unsupervised Supervision, Jax and Sean talk about what actually makes Christmas meaningful. They share stories about memorable gifts, why thought and sentiment matter more than price, and what it means to be a good gift receiver. They also get into family traditions, which ones they have kept, which ones changed, and why traditions matter even when they are imperfect.

To close things out, they reflect on the first season of the podcast. What surprised them, what they learned about each other, and why sitting down for these conversations turned into something bigger than they expected.

It is a relaxed, fun conversation about gifts, traditions, and wrapping up the year with a little perspective.

Thanks for listening this year. Merry Christmas.

We save a whole year’s worth of gratitude for one crowded table and a plate we can barely lift. But real appreciation shouldn’t only show up with stuffing and go quiet once the leftovers are gone. In this episode, we talk about why gratitude feels so forced in November, what it looks like when it’s real, and how to notice people before the holiday pressure kicks in.

Of course, we still get into the important things. Like Thanksgiving dishes, family traditions, and our unofficial Thanksgiving Survival Guide. No perfect speeches. No corny lessons. Just real conversation, a little food chaos, and the reminder to be thankful on more days than the one with turkey.

The clocks fell back — but somehow, we’re still falling behind.
In this episode, Jax and Sean unravel the mess of modern time: why we overschedule, ignore the signs, and keep convincing ourselves “next week will be better.”
They talk through the weight of burnout, the guilt of slowing down, and how easy it is to lose your rhythm when everything feels urgent.
You’ll laugh. You’ll sigh. You’ll probably check your calendar.
Because maybe it’s not about cramming more in —
maybe it’s about finally giving yourself permission to stop.
