Talking Trophies

2025 felt like a blur — but the Bondi attack forced us to stop and really reflect.In this episode, we unpack how the Bondi tragedy affected us personally, why it felt so close to home, and whether we’ve actually processed what happened — or just moved on too quickly. From there, the conversation opens up into bigger questions about 2025, self-growth, relationships, engagement timelines, and why working on yourself is one of the biggest luxuries we have.We also look ahead to 2026 — the optimism, the fear, the rise of AI, and whether the world is heading in the right direction or something far more unsettling.Make Sure To Drop A Comment To Wrap Up 2025 Hit The Follow Button If You're New Here And Tell A Friend About Talking Trophies.We Wish You Success In 2026 And Hope You Achieve All Your Goals And Ambitions!Topics We Went Through To Make Your Lives Easier 0:00 2025 Was A Blur2:00 The Bondi Attack Was Horrific 23:47 We Stepped Outside26:16 How Long To Stay Engaged For?31:41 What We Learnt From 202538:30 The Luxury We Have To Work On Ourselves42:15 Biggest Highlights Of 2025 Around The World51:10 No More Conspiracies In 2026 Please 53:38 AI Is Getting Too Real Imagine In 202659:40 Are We Optimistic Or Scared Of 2026
