We made it to 2026, yall!!!! New year, same us, just a little softer and a lot more intentional. This week on TWWD, host + Pop Culture Maven @theworldofjer is feeling refreshed, reflective, and fully over the pressure to reinvent life overnight. Instead of chasing unrealistic resolutions, this episode is about choosing joy, presence, and actually enjoying the ride.

Jer taps into that weird post holiday energy where the world feels paused but your brain is doing backflips. From travel daydreams and food fixations to cozy cleaning rituals and late night album listens, this episode moves through the moments that make up real life, not just the highlight reel.

With humor, warmth, and a grounded lens, Jer unpacks why hustle culture makes resolutions feel exhausting, how we overlook the beauty of the in between moments, and why rest, reflection, and self trust deserve more respect. There are thoughtful insights, light pop culture check ins, and reminders to slow down and give yourself credit.

This episode is less about doing more and more about being present with what already is. If the start of the year usually has you feeling inspired but slightly overwhelmed, this one will feel like a reset without the pressure. Press play, get comfy, and wind down with a resolution that actually leaves room for joy.

We also spill some tea on new artists Sunshine Benzi, Amber Mark, and Olivia Dean! Tap in, YALL!
