2026 Ins and Outs & end of Season 2 🎉
Happy New Year’s Eve! Man I really tried to finish editing yesterday but I started cooking and eating and drinking wine andddddd by the time I was done, it was time to go to sleep! But hey, I did finish the last episode of this season on the last day of 2025!
This year has been a lot. I feel like everybody I know, including myself, got tested by life. Like, everybody is literally gasping for air. Case in point, I’m still working on this blog at 5pm on NYE. It’s OK though. I’m grateful to have the time and resources to work on this project.
Season 2 has exceeded my expectations. I didn’t think I could be consistent at posting 1 episode/week. It was challenging balancing a stressful full-time job, life stuff, and a very time-consuming hobby that pushes me outside of my comfort zone. I feel more confident voicing my thoughts and showing myself on camera now - something I didn’t think I could achieve. If you look back at Season 1, I only uploaded audio episodes - and the quality was bad! But I think I’m getting better at this now. I’m not a pro by any means, but I’m much more efficient at filming and post-production now. I’m still using iMovie; but hey, it’s not about the tool, but what you can create from it.
Season 2 has brought me a lot of insights and motivations. I think staying true to the content I want to make, and the intentions behind it, is the key. When I tried to fit into what I think a “good” or “successful” podcast should be like, I felt pressured and my interest in creating completely diminished. But now that I’m sticking to my vision, I feel more aligned.
This season has been a very life-changing experience for me. From rebranding, changing up my strategy, to feeling more confident in myself, I’ve gained so many things I didn’t think I could gain just from creating this. It’s not about the number of followers or the brand deals. It has always been about me allowing myself to go after what I want without fear and a need for validations. I’ve grown so much, and I’m so grateful for myself for giving me another chance at this. As you may know, this is my 3rd or 4th attempt at content creation, and although real life gave me plenty of roadblocks this season, I still kept my promise to myself: stay consistent and don’t worry about perfection. And for that, I’m eternally grateful.
In the words of Snoop Dogg, I want to thank me, for pushing through hard times and for continue trying, despite what life has thrown at me. And with that, I hope I can inspire you to go after your dreams for yourself. It doesn’t matter what the outcome is or what society thinks success looks like. It’s about me, and you, looking back on our lives and see that we did what we did for ourselves.
With love and trust,
Remey
