Margs and Mindset
Barlyssa have been taking on life's challenges side by side, discovering what works and what doesn't. We're not just addressing past wounds, but also picking up handy skills and strategies along the way to steer our journey forward. We're convinced that no one should have to pilot through these experiences alone. With a common objective, we pondered the most impactful way to extend out support to women of color tackling generational traumas and experiences in solitude. It turned out that launching a podcast is the best conduit to build a supportive community that engages in raw, real and open dialogues that yield authentic growth. But, add tasty margaritas and some laughs for a good time because a good laugh can overcome more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than people realize.
Margs and Mindset
Happy New Year 2026
A spilled margarita and some wildly irritating under-eye patches cracked open a bigger truth: we were performing self-care while ignoring what our lives actually needed.
So we started asking better questions. What do we want our days to look like? What do we want our kitchen cabinets to say about who we are becoming? That’s how a cabinet clean-out turned into a manifesto on curating joy—pizza on vintage plates, margaritas in teacups, and a home filled with objects that carry stories instead of dust.
We get honest about cohabitation, purging with love, and why convenience culture keeps us from choosing things that make us feel alive. The dishwasher-safe reflex meets a slow-life rebuttal: sometimes handwashing is the point.
Then we map how mindset becomes momentum. After a year of grinding and building an abundance mindset, we finally gave ourselves what we’ve been working toward: a Q1 built for celebration.
A women’s retreat to refill our cups.
Family trips to Mexico and Florida with a Bahamas cruise.
A long-overdue girls’ trip to Vegas for a birthday show.
A true, no-work week in North Carolina. We’re not escaping real life—we’re curating it. If you’re ready to trade guilt for intention, plastic for patina, and grind for grace, this one’s for you.
If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs permission to decorate their life, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

Episode one hundred and nineteen. I can't believe we're here. No, for real. That's normally what we say next. It is because I can never believe it every time.
Lyssa:It's yeah.
Barb:What is in your cup? A margarita. It is. So it's not the seared and sacrum margarita that we normally get because we did spill it in the fridge by accident, which is why you know our cups are so important, right? Toddlers. We are toddlers. We need that leek proof, you know?
Lyssa:That's seal. And so we did. We were pulling something out of the fridge. We're pulling the water jug out of the fridge and it it tapped on the on the little shaker container that we get our margaritas in every week. It made the whole kitchen smell like tequila. I didn't hate that part though. That part wasn't terrible. But as soon as I walked into the kitchen, it I saw you cleaning it up, and I was just like, oh, what could have possibly spilled in the refrigerator? And then I smelt it instantly. And I was like, oh, that's exactly what spelled was our margaritas. So I was super sad about it for like 2.2 seconds. And then I wasn't because I remember that we had some margarita um mix as as well as a beautiful bottle of tequila that we were gifted this year from our venue partner, um, Fallon. So yeah, it was it was perfect. It was exactly what we needed. So that way when we spilled our, you know, our real margarita, we'd be able to make a new one.
Barb:Yeah. So we're drinking them out of your cute vintage teacup. Oh my gosh, yes, I do have a tangent about the teacups. But cheers.
Lyssa:2026. Okay, that's not as bad as you were making it, see. It's not as good as Sear and Sacrum. They're saying we're moving on. We don't have to talk about it anymore. We're done. Um, then I am gonna talk for a second about these little things that we have on our faces because I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep mine on. I don't think I'm gonna be able to keep this conversation going with these things on my face. I'm feeling very overstimulated today on multiple levels. Like I've had my hair in a headband most of the day because I just needed it to stop touching me. And now we were trying to be cute, right? We're in this like in our self-care era, right? This year we promised ourselves that we were gonna take care of ourselves and do the things that we needed to do. And we were gifted these cute little eye patches, and we've been trying to like utilize them and use them. And so we're like, hey, how about we do that while we're on the podcast? Because that would be super cute, right? I love that idea. Except it's all I feel they keep sliding, it's touching me. And I'm like, are you really gonna be able to focus for the next 30 minutes and have this conversation with these things on your face? We'll find out. I feel like we'll put a timer in. I will let everyone know once they come out once they come out, even if we're like real deep in the middle of it. I'm just gonna cut you off and be like, removing under eye patches. That makes sense. You can timestamp me.
Barb:Oh man. But um, so yeah, 2026. Yes, margaritas. Here we are. Um, let's talk about your cutie vintage for a second because you did this, and I think it's important that you you share your story with the folks, with the people.
Lyssa:Because it was really cute. Because I'm just so deep, you know. That's really what it is. Um, but ultimately, I think I shared on like the last pod, um, or you know, in the last few episodes, um, that I have been moving into uh cohabitation with my partner. Um, so the house has been in disarray. The house needed to get completely purged in order to make space for two more people to move in here. So I have slowly but surely been going through every crevice, every shelf, every cabinet, every drawer, and just seeing all the things that I have been able to accumulate over my life that has made it into this space. Um and it's a lot. I have a lot of stuff. Um, and I've been slowly like just getting rid of things, things that I didn't even realize that I had anymore, and things that are are far too old to still be in this home and just little stuff like that. And essentially, what I realized I was doing was I I'm I'm shedding. I you're purging. I'm letting go of all the things that no longer serve me, all the things that are no longer meaningful, they don't hold any value to me and this version of me and this next version of me that lives with my partner. So it's gotta go. It doesn't need to be in this space. So as I'm going through my kitchen cabinets and I'm, you know, ridding myself of all of this stuff, I'm asking myself the questions of like, well, what does this version of Elisa want her kitchen cabinets to look like? What does this version of Elisa want to do in this home, in this space and things like that? So these are all the things that I, you know, I ruminate as I'm cleaning, as I'm purging, I'm I'm thinking about the version I was that bought that thing, that made that thing, whatever it is. And then I acknowledge her. I love her, I thank her, and then I let go of the thing because that's not this version of Elisa carrying those things on anymore. Um, and so I am putting that into play into everything in my home, and that includes my dishes. So I'm going through these dishes and I'm, you know, looking at some of these old plastic ones that have been through the dishwasher for years. Like a lot of these little plasticky ones that I'm still holding on to are literally the ones that I bought when Oliver was born, when he was a baby and I started feeding him. We're talking like almost a decade ago that I've been carrying this around. And plastic is one of the things that I'm trying to get rid of. This version of Lisa doesn't want plastic in her home and she doesn't want to eat off that and have those things and blah, blah, blah. That's a tangent for another day. But that was one of the things that I noticed. So, you know, I'm touching all these things and I'm not connected necessarily to anything in my kitchen cabinet. And so I asked myself what I do want. And one thing that I love are our cutie little vintage plates. Like I love them, love them. And it was one of those things where we use them as events, we use them for these special experiences and these special moments and these celebrations. But like, what if I just want to eat pizza off of a vintage plate? Like, why is that a bad thing? Like, what if I want to drink a margarita out of a teacup? You know, like as fancy as you know, like why can't I do that? And so that's really what kind of, you know, drove me to being like, okay, well, I'm buying all these other things for the home. I'm changing all these things out. Like, this is something that deep down is gonna make me really happy to know that my kitchen cabinet has vintage plates in it because I don't want them just to put them in a China cabinet and look at them. Like I want to use them.
Barb:I want to eat off them. You want to romanticize your life in that way. Exactly. And there's nothing wrong with that. I actually so I'm timestamp me because I'm taking these shits off.
Lyssa:Oh, really? I actually feel like I they're they're in there now. I don't know if I just got deep into my conversation where I wasn't thinking about it anymore. And that was all I was thinking about.
Barb:It's your turn. So you're romanticizing your life, right? Plates. Who actually looks at their plates other than to put the food on it and to clean it to make sure that it can go right back into the cabinet that you took it out of? And one thing about right, homemade, everyone knows that we have a thrifting problem. We love cute vintage things. And there's a story tied to how we got those plates. Yeah. There is a garage sale that we went to. There's a this that we had. We did the haggling and then the pickup. There's intention, there's meaning. There's not just okay, I'm gonna go to Walmart or to Target or to X store and I'm gonna pick this up off of a shelf and I'm gonna go cash out where the cashier's not even gonna look at me, right? There, that's mindless. This is curated. And how beautiful to now step into 2026 with a fully curated life. Yeah, no longer moments, right? We started with moments and now it is evolved into I'm gonna start to curate my life because curating moments is really great. But I want to curate the whole thing to make sure that it's exactly what I want it to be. Yeah. High five.
Lyssa:Thank you. So proud of you. It's thank you. It's it is, it's these, it's these tiny little moments that I think go unnoticed or people think they're just not important enough, right? It doesn't matter what you eat off of as long as you have something to eat off of. And I don't know. I just this version of Lisa goes deeper than that. It does matter to me what I eat off of. And I'm also, you know, to tie in this version of me that, like you said, I want to thrift things, I want to be sustainable. I don't want to just keep going and buying and buying and buying. There's no need, there's so much stuff that already exists. I don't need to go buy new manufactured items when there are things that have already been made, that are beautiful, that still have so much life, and and they can give. And I love that, you know, these come from a family that that utilize them. These are probably somebody's wedding dishes, you know, like the memories that are being made over and over and over by continuing to use these vintage items. Like that makes me really happy. So, like, that's something that I care about. And funny not funny, you know, I I pulled out the plates, and then the first thing that Darnell asked me, you know, he looks at him, he's like, wow, those are, you know, those are beautiful, right? They're fancy. And I'm like, yes, and these are gonna be our plates. Like, this is what we're going to use now. And it's okay. It's no different than the ceramic plate that we have in there that's just plain white. There's nothing wrong with that plate. It does exactly what it needs to do, but like you can use this one too. It's just the same, it's just prettier. Um, and he was like, So are those dishwasher safe? No, sir. And I was just like, oh my goodness. You know, like the it was just this whole moment of the conveniences of the world that we live in, the technology that we live in, right? Like we are we are in a world that's being powered by AI currently, you know, and it's gotten so deep and trickled down so much into our homes that we look at plates and we're like, wait a second, if I can't put that in a in a dishwasher. Like, no, you know that those like didn't always exist, right? You know that like they had to, they were able to make plates like these, and it didn't matter that they weren't dishwashers because dishwashers didn't exist. They stopped making them like this because of dishwashers. So it's like you've just grown up your whole life only eating off of a dish dishwasher safe, you know, plate and thinking that that's the only thing that you could eat and that anything else is quote unquote too fancy. Because you have to wash it by hand? Like, what's going on here? Um, so it was. It was a it was a fun little banter moment that that we had, but it really did kind of make this connection of just like this world of convenience that we live in, and we we don't even think about something as minimal as like, yeah, I'm I'm gonna have to wash the plates to romanticize my life. I'm gonna have to now wash by hand. It's not that big of a deal, people. Right. In the grand scheme of all of it, but I also in that moment was able to see how I would say something like that because holy just there's cleaning trauma. I think I think we're just gonna rip the band-aid off. There is some real deep-seated cleaning trauma that through this home renovation, I can see that I have because it's been so hard, so hard to live this way, to live in a quote unquote mess. Even though it's like not a mess, it's it is a mess, it's not dirty, disarray.
Barb:You are going through something where you have to touch everything all the time out, and it's exposed and it's decorated away because you're painting this and this has to dry and that has to go. So it is an adjustment, for sure.
Lyssa:And it's it is, it's just it's so hard to it's I feel like it's just hard to explain to someone those things about cleaning when like they just don't have them. When you don't understand that if you can lean, you can clean. And you know, when you have life lessons like that being thrusted upon you at such a young age, it's hard, it's hard to find leniency in adulthood because we've almost connected our value of ourselves to like our cleanliness and productivity in our household. And that's all just from vintage plates, guys.
Barb:Yeah, you know, so here's my story. I had the cleaners come on Tuesday, and she, Tara with B Clean, shop love you, love what you do, girl. Oh my goodness, love you. I always get excited. Oh, I'm gonna be the first one at the house. I'm gonna see it so clean. I didn't have to clean it. It was worth every penny. They do such a good job. My floors sparkle, my bathtub shines, like all the things that a mother of a home wants their home to be without having to do it. They deliver every time. And then I also juggle with this unrealistic expectation that I set out for my family. I almost want them to not come home for like at least three days so that I can live in this pristine. I don't even want you to walk on the floor, levitate, learn how to fly to the kitchen, to the door, to the bedroom. Yep. Don't put your stinky feet on my floor. Your feet are stinking, my floor is not. Like, don't touch it. Right. And Tuesday night, as I'm saying these things out loud to my very sweet husband.
Lyssa:It's an honor to be married to an honor.
Barb:I'm so grateful for my husband. And he like brought it. He's like, but like, what do you want me to do? I I have to I have to cook dinner. Right. Like I have to make you're gonna go dirty the kitchen. Don't touch it, don't touch it. Um, so it was in that that moment, Tuesday evening, where I was like, I think you have a problem, girl. Because while yes, you paid for it to get done, it's not supposed to stay clean, even though you want that with all your little heart. As much as you want it. That I don't, it's not a museum, yeah. Right? It's not a museum, it's a home. And in a home, people live and you have things and you have stuff, and that's just the way it works.
Lyssa:It's but tell that to the inner me, that part. So is it's really the inner me. So I'm first I'm gonna timestamp. I need to get this off my face. I feel like they're crawling now. I don't know if that's a thing or not. But then it was like they were sliding down. Yeah, they were just moving off me. So time stamped. I can't wait to know how long we held those on. It's been like four minutes. Um, but it is, it's I'm recognizing that this truly is a me thing. Like I I projected cleaning as like you just didn't know how to do it, or like you maybe just weren't taught, or I don't know, but at the end of the day, I was, yeah, I was, and it is so hard to live like that because we were taught to clean incessantly, we were taught that if you can lean, you can clean. We were exposed to this lifestyle where you had to be the one in the home constantly tidying it, constantly fixing, constantly doing. And so now we're trying to. It was so I'm gonna go off a little bit here, but it was so hard for us when we finally pulled the trigger on house cleaners. We held on to that for such a long time. And that in and of itself says a lot about who we are, right? Because like we wouldn't even give it to ourselves out of sheer guilt because it meant that I'm not doing a good enough job. Yeah, I can't clean my own home. What do you mean?
Barb:Nobody can clean my own the working because I am unable to stay on top of all the things, right?
Lyssa:We are mothers, we are business owners, we are partners, we are people. And we were killing ourselves because the kitchen wasn't cleaned every night, because the laundry wasn't put away, and because God forbid I touch a mop. You know, like I hate mopping. I hate mopping. My least favorite. All of these things that we just held on to for so long because we just carried this immense guilt of like I have to be the one to clean it because no one can come into my home and clean it better than I can. Because that's what I was taught. That's what I was ingrained. I actually have those words. Like, I can see them, I can see the moments in which those were spoken to me. Nobody can clean the house better than you. Nobody knows how to clean better than you. This is your home, and it's your job to do this. And now I have so many jobs. Like, I have all the jobs. I can't keep them all. I have to be able to delegate something. And to delegate a cleaner, to delegate that to someone else, to say, I actually don't have to worry about ever picking up my mop because someone else is gonna bring their mop and they're gonna come into my much better mop. And they're gonna do it better than me. I think it was breaking that. Yeah, I was told that nobody can clean better than me. And while in my home, nobody can clean better than me, it's actually not true because there's people out there who do it professionally that do it better than me. And do it better than me. They have the right tools, right? The right all the things, the knowledge, you know, to get the stains out. Like there actually are people who can do it better than me. And why am I stopping them? I'm actually helping someone in my community fill their books, I'm helping keep her business alive. That's not a bad thing. No, and she's helping me tremendously the mental load that we get to release because we know that once a month somebody's gonna come into our home and clean it the way that we want it to be cleaned, that is worth every single penny. And it's it's so hard. And I think that's the thing too right. You have to do it because we say that, and everybody's like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I can still clean, I can still do it. No, if you do it, if you take the chance to pay someone, I can guarantee you that you will continue. Continue to do it because you will see the value. You don't see the value in it right now because you haven't paid it yet. And you don't understand the time and the mental load that you'd actually be getting back. But it's just, it's been such a game changer for us. And it is, it's it is allowing us to to heal a little bit of that cleaning trauma in us and like let go and understand that like we don't have to be the ones that do every single thing, including scrubbing the toilet, you know. All the time, obviously. We still have to.
Barb:Yeah. But the frequency and just the the load. The load is is lessened. So I do that, we do that. Um, and then I also still struggle because then I just want it to stay clean forever. Well, that's the part, yeah. You know, the trauma just rears its ugly head in a different way.
Lyssa:Well, now and then we go in right now, we live in this Instagram world where now we can go online and it's very easy to see all these beautiful designers that have all these beautiful homes and everything is put together and there's not one thing out of place. And it again builds that false reality in our heads. So then we want to see that all the time. But it is, it's a little bit, it's that moment that you felt where you're like, I think I'm being unfair to my family. Yeah, because like I was like, I don't want them to make a mess. And my first reaction was like, No, you're not. You paid for that cleaner. That shit is clean, it deserves to be clean, you know, especially now that I'm in like this disarray, as we called it, and I'm just like living vicariously through your clean home. We like both walked in together and that was wow.
Barb:I was like, this is beautiful.
Lyssa:This is look at that floor. I can see the whole floor. I can't see the whole floor of my home. I can't wait till I can see my whole floor again. And you know, we did. We went through it, and it's it's hard. We do have to learn how to give that grace, you know, because you aren't me. You are gonna ask me if you have if you can't put that in the dishwasher, right? Like you're gonna want to do that because that's just not how you lived. And so, like, we have to start giving grace, I think, in that area to ourselves and to others, I guess.
Barb:Yes, but here we are, you know, we're such givers. Speaking of, right, we're giving ourselves, we're giving our families 2026, you know, beautiful. We are also giving ourselves in in the first quarter. Hell yeah. And I want to talk about I want to tell the people, I want to tell the world because your girls is partying.
Lyssa:We fucking did that shit. That's how I feel. I feel like 2025 was the year that I did that shit, and I earned every single day in Q1 of 2026. I earned that shit because like we I don't, I mean you you've heard it on the pod, right? Like we've just been, we've been doing it. We pushed and we grind and we hustled and we did all the things, and we were tired. And we were on the verge of of burnout. I I heard it in those episodes where we said we were tired over and over and over, but we kept going and we kept grinding in a slower way, you know, through December and all of that, and working on the back end of the business and really just getting things up and running because we're not gonna be here. Okay, we gone, we off the grid. Nobu, Milan, Paris, Japan, plane, train, another plane.
Barb:So 2026 is going to be the year of travel, the year of celebration, the year of just everything that we want more of in life because we've finally cleared the path to get everything that we want. Yeah. And come February, we are starting off, start them off. Separate family vacation. So this is with our corresponding unit. And I leave first.
Lyssa:Well, before that, though, we even have something before that. We have a little retreat. Oh, yeah. So, like, we're starting off real cute and simple. So we're taking ourselves off to a woman's retreat at the first weekend of February. So, really, this kicks off. So, through January, we're still gonna be tidying up all our little loose ends, doing our thing. We're still working. We're still doing our thing because come February, we are going in. So, we are starting off with that very first weekend at a women's retreat where we are going to pour into ourselves. Fill our cup. We are going to connect and just get ourselves ready for what is to come. Because the week after we get back from the retreat, you go.
Barb:I leave with my little family to Mexico. Uh so we're taking, I think, a five-day trip down there, and we're doing the family thing, we're doing the slow and all the things. Yeah. Um, and then I come back.
Lyssa:Yep. And then what? As soon as you come back, I'm gonna hop on a plane with my little unit. And we are going to Florida for a week. Um, and within that week, we are actually gonna be taking a cruise to the Bahamas. I love it. I can't wait. I can't wait. Um, it was the cruise that we had chosen was like a short one. So I I wanted a longer vacation.
Barb:I was like, I deserve a longer vacation.
Lyssa:No, with that capital T, aren't. And so I did. I was like, okay, well, if we're only going on a three-day cruise, I was like, then I want to be in Florida for like a few days. Um, so yeah, so we we leave a couple days before the cruise. Um, we got a cutie little Airbnb. We're gonna hang out with Papa Bear and all that, um, and my brothers, and then we're gonna hop on a boat, we're gonna go to the Bahamas, do our thing, and then we'll come back and when we have like two days off the boat, and then we'll we'll come home after that. I the thought of getting off of a boat after three days and then immediately onto a plane sounded terrible. It is so I was just like, I think we're just gonna stay for like an extra day. Um, definitely worth it. So, so yeah, so I am going to yeah, be gone for a week. Um, and then I'm gonna come back.
Barb:And what I love is that we obviously have events secured already. Like there are things on the calendar, we're gonna be splitting up. It's gonna be crazy, and it's gonna be everything and more. So you come back home and we get together and we throw an event that following weekend. Yep. And then in March. And then the week after weekend.
Lyssa:So seven days after we I get home. I touch down, I believe. Or maybe it's like eight or nine days after I come back. Um, we do. We're gonna have cutie little events, and then your girls is back. Another one, and this time together. Woo! With executive producer. Yes, with executive producer Teresa Lopez, Raquel. Oh my god, I said your name wrong. Teresa. Not wrong, just out of the order. Out of order. In my defense, I am halfway through this, Margarita, and I do feel that's Aquila Heidi. Just gonna, but that's between us. Um, yes, a cutie little girls trip with our executive producer, Teresa Recco, Lopez Jones, and Miss Carly Jones. We are going out to Vegas, baby. I hope that was really loud in your ears. Sorry, but like I wanted you to really feel it. We're going to Vegas and I needed you to know it.
Barb:My first time. Never been. Yes. I think everyone else has gone. I went once, but I did it wrong. So I don't count it. Okay. One and a half. Yes. Or a half of one. Um, and we're going for my birthday. I'm turning 37, and there is a purpose. There is a reason there. It's not just random. Oh, let's go to Vegas. And I know that's not random, but to me, that's random. I don't like gambling. I don't enjoy. So there's a reason.
Lyssa:It's not our typical scene. Yes.
Barb:When we are like, oh, let's go on a vacation. Like the first place we comes to mind is not Vegas. No, it's going to be somewhere warm with the sun and the ocean.
Lyssa:Yeah, like a beach.
Barb:Yeah, not necessarily a desert.
Lyssa:But there is a special reason, a very special reason as to why Vegas became the winner. And that's because after 37 years of existence, we are gonna go see Jennifer Love!
Speaker:DDJ Lo! We are coming for you!
Barb:Coming. We're coming, we're coming, we're coming. So we actually get to see her perform on the day of my birth. Yes, yes. On the sixth. On the sixth, which is the name of her first album. I'm telling you, it's all meant to be. I'm gonna meet her. I told Annabelle last night when we went to CVS how crazy would it be if I'm at JLO at the concert on my birthday. Oh my god, I cannot. I'm manifesting a guest star.
Lyssa:Pitbull. Pitbull. Yeah, I really want him to be there. But I don't want to pay for him. So like I just I want this included in my ticket that I already bought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Barb:An addition, an add-on. Um, so yeah, so we have a very cute girl's trip plans. We haven't taken a girls' trip since 2021. Um, we are long overdue. Yeah, and this is going to be the best weekend ever. Period. Um, so after that vacation, we're there for like five days and we come home. And at the end of March, the kids have off for break. Yep. So we're packing up our stuff.
Lyssa:Happen on that plane. We're getting on another plane again, baby. And we're gonna go back down um to North Carolina. My favorite place in the whole wide world. You know, to be with our family and like have a true vacation. There it is. Say it true vacation.
Barb:A real vacation in North Carolina. This will be the first time. We've gone down there what I feel like so many times. Uh we have a bunch. This is our first time going and not having to work. Yes. Don't anybody celebrate anything. Don't tell me there's a party because I'm gonna say yes, and I'm already mad at myself.
Lyssa:I want to just be with them. We love, we love our family down in North Carolina immensely. Um, and a lot of the times that we travel down there is to celebrate something. Um, and so of course, there's no such thing as homemade not doing something. So it is. Every time that we've gone down there, we have essentially piggybacked off of an event. So we've always done something. And this time there's there's nothing, there's just family time. Ah, yeah, so sexy. It is. I'm really excited for it, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. A whole week. A whole seven days. Yeah, usually we do have to cut it off, you know, between sometimes even three days, like we've been down there. Um, but usually like three to five days. So, yeah, to have like a full seven days. I'm very excited. So excited. And that's the beginning.
Barb:That is that's just Q1 to the end of March because there are more than I have up my sleeve. Don't you worry. October we're traveling again. Yep. So I'm I'm very excited. There's a lot of intention happening already, yeah, and there's a lot of celebrating, which is what we needed more of. So I'm I'm proud of us. You mentioned earlier when when we have to really dig down into the nitty-gritty work and we get tired and we get whiny and cranky because you girls is just girls. I don't know. I'm just the end of the day, girls, you know. And we have this really cool ability to just keep going because we know it's the right thing to do, even though my body's saying I don't want to, I'm throwing the tantrum. I know that it's part of the bigger plan. And while we were planning and doing it then, we were actually planning our future, right? And giving it to ourselves. It just wasn't right then and there.
Lyssa:We didn't know it at the time. We we weren't necessarily in the framework of what we were setting up was the celebration and the culmination of everything that we did this year. Um, that was just again something that we realized when we came to our year in review, and we realized all the shit that we did and all the shit that we had coming up, and we were just like, oh, okay. So I did all of this so that way I can actually go do all of that. This plane, and that plane, and this plane, and the funding of it, you know, all of it. It's I don't think that this could have worked if we didn't work on our abundance mindset over the year, you know. That was something that was really important to us at the beginning of the year. Our Monday 2025. And we did, we worked on it all year long, and now it shows it shows because I'm so abundant.
Barb:I created all of these opportunities in a short amount of time. Yep, we did that, we created currency to fund our dreams, and that's fucking sexy. Sexy as fuck, girl. Sexy as fuck.
Lyssa:And like sexy. That's 2026. Salute. Put a cute little teacard. Cute. I love it. All right. Well, this feels like a good place to love and leave, our friends.
