New Beginnings:
As we step into the new year, we’re excited to share our thoughts and aspirations for 2025 in our first podcast episode. Join us as we discuss everything from personal goals to pop culture trends with a focus on keeping it simple – ATOMIC!
Upgrading Our Podcast Experience
This year, we’ve made some exciting changes to our podcasting setup. We’ve upgraded our video software from Zoom to Riverside, allowing us to enhance the quality of our episodes. We’re eager to hear your feedback—do you prefer the fuzzier, darker look, or do you enjoy the clearer vision?
Personal Goals for 2025
Every new year brings the opportunity for reflection and growth. We dive into our personal goals for 2025, focusing on the importance of self-care and appearance. One of our hosts shares her journey back to wearing perfume after years of avoiding it due to migraines. The simple act of putting on a signature scent has made her feel more confident and ready to tackle the day.
The Importance of Self-Care
We discuss the balance between inner and outer self-care. While it’s essential to work on our inner selves, taking care of our appearance can also boost our self-esteem. We challenge the notion that caring about how we look is superficial; instead, it’s about showing respect for ourselves and feeling good as we navigate our daily lives.
Staying Connected with Pop Culture
In our quest to stay relevant, we explore the ever-evolving world of pop culture, particularly through platforms like TikTok. Understanding current trends and vernacular helps us feel connected to the world around us. We emphasize the importance of being aware of what’s popular and exciting in our culture.
Reflecting on Past Goals
As we look forward, we also reflect on our past goals. One host shares her experience of writing down aspirations for 2024 and feeling disappointed when she didn’t achieve them. We discuss the commonality of wanting to move more, reduce negative self-talk, and make plans with friends—goals that resonate with many.
The Power of Pro-Con Lists
We delve into the idea of creating pro-con lists about ourselves. One host reveals her experience of writing down her pros and cons, highlighting the disparity in length between the two lists. This exercise serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing our strengths and celebrating them.
Embracing Small Changes
We conclude with a discussion on the significance of small, manageable changes rather than sweeping resolutions. One host shares her commitment to wearing perfume for five years, emphasizing that it’s about consistency and gradual improvement. We agree that focusing on small victories can lead to a more fulfilling year.
Celebrating Ourselves
Finally, we touch on the importance of self-affirmation. It’s often easier to list our flaws than to celebrate our strengths. We encourage each other to acknowledge our positive traits and normalize the practice of praising ourselves.
Join Us on This Journey
As we embark on this new year, we invite you to join us on our journey. Stay tuned for more episodes, and don’t forget to subscribe and share our podcast with your friends and family. We’re excited to see where 2025 takes us, including potential new backgrounds and fresh content!
Thank you for listening, and here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
