Jessica and Sarah reflect on Jessica's 2022 vs. 2023 and the wild changes that happened. Two new diagnosis, a feeling of abandonment, a new home, a dog - anything and everything that could ever happened, happened. From darkest days to full mania.

Sarah talks about Pure O (OCD) and why she needs to listen to podcasts and music while living! Something Jessica never knew about!

Jessica finds her voice and gets honest about what her intentions are for this podcast and this year while Sarah reassures her, debates and disagreements are what make a podcast worth listening to.
