    NYE WTF | Entering the New Year as a Caregiver

    New Years is a time for re-entry from the holiday fog, renewal of goals and ideas, and reflection upon the year before. Everyone talks about resolutions and how they will be a new and better person in the coming year. We plan to accomplish more, be better, clean our dirty houses. But what if we don’t? What if just surviving is enough? This was the plan for this episode. But today, the girls take a turn.  Rather than planning next year with resolutions, join us as the girls reflect on 2024. This was a year of highs and lows, as all years are. With medical motherhood, the highs can be so very high, but they can also be joy in calm days. The lows are ever so low. Let’s all raise a glass of coffee or wine, no one’s judging, to surviving 2024! “I ate a lot of pie.” -Suz Here’s what you don’t want to miss: Christmas Break 2024 Recap Looking Forward to? Resolutions Minor Self Care   Happy New Year everyone! Are you someone who makes resolutions? How did 2024 treat you? Let us know in the When Autumn Comes Society or send us a DM on Instagram!
