Between Taylor and myself, we have a wide range of both life experiences and preferences when it comes to all things “New Year, New Me.”  While I’m tackling this year in the most stereotypical of New Year fashions—all the goals!—Taylor is understandably (and wisely?) more reticent to jump on the bandwagon.  We explore our past histories with goal-making around this time of the year, have a hilarious realization about what appears to be a gendered understanding of the whole “word of the year,” and Taylor shares her fascinating tales of using Artificial Intelligence to help her come up with some potential resolutions (+ a word of the year) for 2025. Take a peak into our brains (and our friendship) and alllll things New Year. Let us know if you use A.I. to help make your goals, too! Want the second half the the episode? Good news!
