Best money I ever spent—good luck! Stay off screens as much as you can afterwards (less dry eye!).

I am committed to 2025 being the year that I explore remote work so I can live out my dream of experiencing other cities as a local.

This sounds like a fabulous 2025 content update for the Purse! I emailed you an update on my episode :)

I submitted my poetry, prose, and photography to a publication for the first time ever. I've been writing for about 20 years and Ive never shared it with anyone until now. Feeling sick and excited all at once.

Happy 2025! How was Cape Cod in the colder months? I've never been in any weather -- have you been in the peak season? Glad you accomplished a lot and had a reset to start the year off right. Looking forward to more from you this year. Your content is so valuable and always brings me other folks who are helpful to my PR work. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you, Katie! I love the Cape in all seasons! It's lovely and quiet this time of year!

I am most excited about hopefully visiting Ireland + Northern Ireland for the first time... and by myself! AND potentially buying my first home- keep your fingers crossed for dropping mortgage rates!

Fingers crossed on the mortgage rates! A solo trip to Ireland sounds amazing!

Looking forward to being more intentional with my time in 2025. With two kids aged 3 and 1, I feel like I’m finally coming out of the infant fog and can begin to focus on my own career and life ambitions again! I’m continually inspired and awed by the families making it all work in the division of labor series and am really looking forward to learning from the upcoming featured families. Thank you for this space. All the best to you Lindsey :)

Answered the survey! A few things I'm most looking forward to in 2025 is continuing to make a nest for myself and my teenager. I purchased a condo - on my own - and I'm finding small ways to continue to feather my nest. This might mean subtracting, replacing light switch plates, or daydreaming about changes, or sitting in front of the fireplace or on the balcony, and it all feels surreal and lovely and lucky.

I'm excited that I am starting this year officially divorced thus 2025 is my first year of being a single lady! And I say that not as necessarily wanting to get out there and date (although I may, and kind of want to) but that it feels significant that this is the first year where I am financially and legally unencumbered from my ex. Here's to the rest of my life!

Love this, Cindy!

Happy new year! I'm most excited to find a new service/volunteer opportunity in NYC that aligns with my interests in sustainability and animals (especially shelter animals!)

Expand full comment

Not sure where you're located, but I dropped some towels off at the Sean Casey animal rescue and they let people walk dogs! (Which we may try b/c my kid wants a dog and my husband and I are not so into getting one.)

Thank you!!

For sustainability orgs, you might also be interested in volunteering with Groundcycle, a composting and CSA service that also does food rescue for community fridges.

Thank you! That sounds amazing

I’m excited to drink less alcohol!!!! I officially started a mindful drinking journey in December, and already feel soooo much more clear minded and productive. Looking forward to saving money too!!

That's awesome, Gabi!

I'm not super excited for 2025 because I'm not financially where I want to be, but I guess I am excited to learn more ways to do things on a tight budget

Happy 2025! I'm most excited to take a couple-month sabbatical from work after some health issues, and find a new path after that.

Good luck, Elle!

Excited to take care of myself better this year! Ergonomics for the win!

Ooh, I want to hear more about this!

New years overwhelm me so I begin a new one with some fear and trepidation. Yay for positivity, ha! But my side hustle is gaining a lot of traction and I had to turn people away in 2024 because word of mouth is TRULY the best advertising. I've always heard that but I've now seen it play out. Excited to be getting ahead for longer periods of time and being VERY INTENTIONAL after a decade plus of SO MUCH CONSISTENCY in a low-income job.

That's amazing, Heidi! Congrats and good luck!
