it is New Year’s Eve, and in this episode of Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a rough holiday stretch, unpacking everything from being violently sick with the flu to navigating grief, canceled plans, and the strange emotional whiplash that comes with the end of the year. they reflect on Christmas not going as expected, the loneliness that can creep in during downtime, and how loss puts everything into perspective, even when you don’t quite know what to say or feel.

from there, the girls spiral into their classic b**ching hour, one last time for 2025: why shopping in Aritzia should be classified as an extreme sport, why sidewalk etiquette in New York is apparently a lost art, and the internet’s obsession with correcting women in relationships. they also get candid about online comments, ownership, boundaries, and why saying “we” doesn’t suddenly erase a woman’s independence or accomplishments.

the episode wraps with a chaotic but heartfelt 2025 recap: favorite songs, trips, outfits, purchases, crash-outs, and milestones, along with reflections on female friendship, partnership vs. best friendship, and why having your person in different forms matters. we’re closing the year exactly as we lived it: honest, imperfect, and surrounded by the people who make it survivable. if this year humbled you, broke you open, or changed you forever, this episode is for you.
