This final episode of the year goes where gratitude posts rarely do.
Adrienne and Kristen talk about hard gratitude. Gratitude for the grit. Gratitude for surviving years that broke them open instead of polishing them up.
They unpack toxic positivity, social media pressure, and the quiet expectation to act fine when life is anything but. This conversation holds grief, divorce, fear, growth, and the kind of peace earned through discomfort.
Kristen shares how fear almost kept her in a marriage that no longer worked, how the bottom falling out forced her forward, and how choosing herself changed her life.
Adrienne reflects on leaving a 27-year law partnership, publishing her first book, building a new career, and facing grief head-on after surviving one tragedy after another. This year gave her space to process the loss of her daughter. It was heavier than she expected.
This episode closes the year with honesty. No performative gratitude. No silver linings. Just truth, reflection, and respect for how hard it is to keep going.
