We're keeping the healing on the unhinged side as we share holiday experiences, reflect on the lessons learned over the past year, and discuss the importance of setting realistic expectations without being overly self-critical.

We talk about gift-giving, the careful balance of celebrating and bragging, and the challenges of avoiding comparison, particularly on social media. We also talk about the fact that Americans don't know who Robbie Williams is, and we make no apologies for that.

We cackle about the future role of AI in society, emphasizing the importance doing our own healing work (and having romantic relations with humans, not robots). We wrap it by pulling a card for the collective that highlights personal growth, forgiveness, and the beauty of looking forward to a new year with grace.
