Everything’s Perfect…Except One Year Later

It’s officially been ONE YEAR of Everything’s Perfect, and somehow, Autumn and Donald are still here… slightly more evolved, slightly more unhinged, and with a full camera roll of memories to prove it.To celebrate, they do what no one should ever do lightly: scroll back through an entire year of their lives, month by month.What starts as a fun trip down memory lane quickly turns into something deeper.Because this year? It wasn’t just highlight reels.It was breakups and big risks.New beginnings and unexpected endings.Moments they wanted to freeze… and moments they barely made it through.From dream milestones like Donald buying his Jeep and turning 40, to Autumn navigating heartbreak and still getting on a plane to Paris… this year didn’t hold back.There were Hyrox races on no fuel, family moments that hit harder than expected, trips that revealed way too much (including Donald’s deeply concerning sheet-tucking behavior), and a Thanksgiving that came with a surprise case of E. coli.And somehow, in the middle of all of it… they kept showing up.For the podcast. For themselves. For each other.This episode isn’t just about what happened.It’s about what it means to look back and realize:You survived things you didn’t think you wouldYou grew in ways you didn’t notice at the timeAnd the hard parts didn’t cancel out the good onesIf you’ve been wondering whether your year “counts” because it didn’t go perfectly… this one’s for you. Because somewhere between the chaos and the laughter, one truth stood out: Joy isn’t something you wait for.It’s something you choose. One year down.And somehow… everything’s still not perfect.⏱️ Key Moments0:50 – One Year Anniversary: Did we think we’d make it?1:53 – Starting the camera roll recap2:28 – April: Launching the podcast + Mexico trips7:48 – May: Donald buys his dream Jeep9:57 – June: NYC trip + Hyrox chaos11:42 – Donald turns 4015:14 – July: Breakup + Paris trip18:11 – August: Hometown visit + unexpected moments20:04 – September: Proud parenting + milestones25:36 – October: Costumes, merch & Nashville28:55 – November: Aruba + the sheet situation31:57 – Thanksgiving chaos (E. coli 😵‍💫)35:49 – December: Christmas + Hustle Hard filming39:05 – New Year’s reflections43:06 – January: App launch + big life shifts47:11 – February: Hyrox Vegas struggle50:57 – March: New projects + momentum52:43 – “Joy is an act of resistance”53:02 – Favorite episodes recap1:03:12 – Outro💌 Got something you need help navigating?
