Hey, welcome back, everybody, Happy, Happy holidays. We've got a little mini episode for you today. It's me and Sophia, and we ask you continue to wish Hillary good luck on all of her work and travels right now, but we can't wait to have her.
Back in the new year, So foot your holiday plans. Hey, Happy holidays everyone. I'm honestly so excited. This is one of those moments where podcasting is perfect because I'm still in my pajamas and a big cashmere sweater and I'm so comfortable and cozy.
At home, and this is kind of it. I really am looking forward this year to just like that kind of insulated quiet with family, you.
Know, yeah, yeah, we were just talking about that on the last episode, like needing time to just.
Used to hibernate in a way. I think twenty twenty three has been like big and beautiful and incredibly hard, and so many people around the world are going through so much, and I don't know, there's something that feels this year particularly light and healing to me about sort of shutting in. Like I've been building a fire every night in the fireplace and just being really really cozy with a handful of people that I love, And yeah, it's been very rejuvenating. What about you.
Yeah, I'm the holidays always seem to sneak up. I don't know why. I always feel like I'm behind, and so yeah, I'm doing something kind of similar. I mean, we are traveling. We're going to go to La for a few days and then down to see some of my family in the San Diego area and just connect with cousins and siblings and family that I don't get to see in person very often. Get a good dose of that and let the kids all run around and
hang out. But yeah, just trying to make sure that I do unplug and reset my brain a bit for the new year. I like taking advantage of January in a like a really new It is a time for resetting, and I know it's like the cliche, but whenever everything starting up, so I want to make sure that I'm in a good space.
I feel like cliches are cliches because they're true.
Though, yeah you know, yeah, like for sure.
And people say you can't see the forest for the trees, It's like, well, yeah, absolutely knows what that means. Like, you know, resolutions, whether you make resolutions or or you want to set intentions. I've definitely learned from my brain that intentions are better for me. Resolutions make me panic because I feel too pressured. Yeah, but really being able to have a mile marker of you know, this year is coming to a close, and what do I want next year to feel like? And in what ways have
I grown? And what lessons have I learned? And how am I going to implement those things?
You know, you write goals down? Do you write things down and like try and keep them in your mind? I do. So.
You know Kenny, my best friend, Kenny, you know, I always joke that he's like the you know, he's he's the he's my brother. And Kenny found this workbook gosh, I want to say it was four years ago. It's like fifty pages long and we were on a trip with a bunch of our friends and we all spend a day on the thirtieth sitting around a house in the snow doing this workbook together. And it's really become practice for me, and it helps me organize my thoughts
and you know, celebrate wins and reflect on losses. And I think it's so healthy to have something that can sort of guide you through that because you know, my like ADHD brain all sit down to journal and then I'm like, what's going on out there?
Oh?
I should go fix the pillows outside, like you know. And so it's nice to have something that gives.
Me prompts, Yeah, prompts. It's like it's a little bit of a paint by numbers thing. It's nice to have a guide when you want to do something but you don't want to mentally tax yourself too much to get it done.
I like that, would do you do anything written?
Yeah? I am. I'm trying to do that more. I for a long time didn't like to write things down because I didn't I didn't like the pressure. It felt like too much pressure to me to have a goal that was set and I what if I don't achieve it? I already wake up every morning feeling like I'm so far behind and underwater and I'm never gonna get all the things done. I'm letting everybody down, and it's like all the things as soon as I open my eyes, it's like, oh, great, another day of me being mad
at myself for everything and so to have. But I think actually starting to write things down makes it feel more tangible and like, I, oh, I can actually, I can be much more reasonable about what I actually can and cannot accomplish, Whereas if it's all living in my brain, it just rolls around in there, and then yeah, I
feel it contributes to the feeling of being overwhelmed. So yes, I'm going to be not just setting intentions, but I will be writing some things down and really keeping those things in mind and trying to set out some specific guideposts and goal markers along the way so that I yeah, that sense of accomplishment. We need it, I mean I know I need it for sure to you feel like
I'm making progress. So yes, writing some intentions down, writing some plans down for the year, personal goals, professional goals, things like that, and then just trying to leave room for the unexpected that always happens.
Yeah, that feels really nice. I think the other thing that I'm really enjoying that is I think the that I would say is perhaps the opposite of that sort of deep mining of the emotional well and intentionality is I've decided that I'm going to bake a lot this year. Oh yes, I started the other night. I made a friend of mine's grandmother's peanut butter cookies. Like I literally got pictures of the recipe cards from her grandma that they have at her house. And it's so cute, her
perfect little handwriting. And I don't know what it is. In the same way that I've had this craving to build a fire in the fireplace every night, I just want to be things for people. Yeah, And maybe it's because I in my last honey harvest was like fifty pounds from my hives in the backyard. But I'm like, I got to do something with all this honey. And so I'm just turning my house into like a little elf workshop and I'm baking and I'm building fires, and
I've told myself I'm gonna make muld wine. I haven't gotten there yet.
Baking makes sense for you with your math brain, because it's all chemistry and all, you know, making sure that you have a proportions correct. It's terrible for me, but you're so good with numbers.
I feel like, as long as I have it in front of me, I can do it, like I cook with abandon, But you have to be so precise baking.
You're right, because if you don't like, the whole thing just doesn't work.
Yeah, I'm seeing a whole new lane of a work for you, just a whole business. Like can you be lest Martha Stewart, Please, you just got to start baking and interior decorating.
I mean literally, you know, interior decorating is all I want to do. I love our job, don't get me wrong. I love storytelling, but like the hours are so hard.
But if you could like bake pies and things and then just decorate an entire box, like pick your own wallpaper for the box and then create a I don't know something, you get it?
Not? No, not, no, I'm so into it.
Sophia Bush bakes.
Yeah, I just kind of want to like drive around town and drop off peanut butter cookies tack.
Yeah, maybe that would defeat the purpose of it, though, if it turns into a business. Now you got all the pressure.
It's just me and a little van. That's what you need.
Oh my god, get a VW van just like painte your name on the side of it and your name of your baking business.
You heard it here first, kids, Well pappy.
Holidays, everybody. I don't think we have anything else. We don't have anything scripted here. We just wanted to make sure we dropped in with you and said hello. And we hope holidays are as warm as as we hope ours are.
Absolutely And I think if any of you at home home have traditions or intentions or good recipes, maybe we'll toss a couple of questions about each of these things up on our social channels this week, and you guys can send us your tips, tricks and cookie plans, because yes, we're ready. We're ready for you.
Can't wait.
Have a happy holiday everyone.
