We're BAAAAACK!! Did ya miss us??

This week on Premeditated Opinions, we’re recording in that weird, liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s, when time isn’t real, your fridge is full of cheese, and suddenly you’re questioning everything.

Pamela and Josh talk through the holidays as they actually happened (no highlight reel, no fake cheer), from drum kits and white elephant nonsense to pub crawls, family cabins, and why karaoke machines should never be allowed back into a home once removed.

From there, the conversation turns reflective, but not in a “new year, new me” kind of way.

We talk about:

• Accidentally committing to intermittent fasting while wine drunk
• Why resolutions don’t work (and why mindset shifts might)
• Choosing a more analog life in a screen-saturated world
• Party games, Mario Kart, and rediscovering fun without phones
• Moderation vs. all-or-nothing thinking
• Bodies, health, fasting, keto, and listening to your actual needs
• Letting go of productivity guilt and making room for joy
• What we’re carrying into 2026, and what we’re finally leaving behind

This isn’t a motivational episode.
It’s a grounded one.

No pressure to reinvent yourself.
No timelines.
No “January 1 or bust” energy.

Just two people talking honestly about where they are, what worked, what didn’t, and how they want to live a little better (and a little lighter) this year.

If you’re easing into the new year instead of sprinting into it, you’re in the right place.
