I am always looking for ways to improve our content/podcast/show. http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=0qI0Tj7TBKvS&ver=standard In this New Year episode of Everything & Anything… and a Bit Gay, I’m skipping the “new year, new me” nonsense and getting honest about what this past year actually taught me. I reflect on 2025—the highs and lows of podcasting, the projects that didn’t work out, the lessons I learned the hard way, and the gratitude I feel for every guest who trusted me with their story. I also talk openly about grief, aging, money habits, ambition, and how losing someone I love changed the way I think about life and death. I share the New Year’s resolutions I completely failed, the intentions I’m setting for 2026, and why I’m focusing less on becoming someone new and more on being real with myself. This episode is funny, reflective, a little messy, and very honest—because that’s real life.
