You may have noticed that your mind is out of control. It's filled with racing thoughts, ancient neuroses and grudges, revenge fantasies… So why are we like this and what can be done about it? Today, we're talking to one of our favorite people and also one of the most prominent meditation teachers in the West, Joseph Goldstein, about how "ridiculous" our minds are – that's a word he uses a lot to describe the mind – and some really compelling ways to train the mind. Spoiler: having a sense of humor is crucial here. Just by way of context: this is the first in a series of episodes with Joseph, focusing on the phrases he uses while he's teaching Buddhism and meditation. Dan and Joseph are collaborating on a book that will be a compilation of these phrases and how to use them. This book won't be out for several years, but as Dan conducts a series of interviews with Joseph, we'll release them here on the podcast. There's another part coming out this Sunday, January 4th. Just to give you a little taste, here are the phrases we'll be covering in today's episode: Just begin again Sit and know you're sitting Relaxed, not casual More or less mindful Thieves of meditation Mara, I see you. Ridiculous The mind has no pride Soundtrack The mind is the forerunner of all things. These might not make any sense right now, but you'll hear Joseph explain each of these, where they came from, and how to use them in your meditation practice AND in your daily life. Incredibly practical, bite-sized wisdom.

Understanding you need boundaries? Fine. Setting them? Different story. This week we're getting practical—I'm walking you through exactly how to set boundaries, what to say, how to hold them when people push back, and what happens when you start protecting your time, energy, and peace. Spoiler: it gets worse before it gets better. When you set a boundary, people are going to test it, question it, call you selfish, tell you you've changed. But here's what's actually happening—what you were doing benefited them, and that benefit is going away. This is Episode 200, and it's only fitting that it's about boundaries. In this episode: The extinction burst: why boundary-testing gets louder before it stops (and what happens if you cave) The five-step process: get clear on the boundary, communicate it without over-explaining, hold the line, expect the guilt, and notice who respects it Scripts for setting boundaries: "I've decided [boundary], and I understand if it's disappointing, but this is what's going to be" Mantras for holding boundaries: "No is a complete sentence," "Their discomfort is not yours to fix," "Boundaries are not mean, they are clear" What boundaries look like with kids (teaching them how to treat you), parents (protecting yourself from what they didn't give you), partners (equity and shared responsibility), and friends (balance on the ladder) The three outcomes when you hold boundaries: some adjust, some resist then accept, some leave—and what each tells you about the relationship Quote of the week: "Their disappointment is not our failure. Their struggle is not ours to fix. It is not our job to make them happy. Your job is to raise them to be capable, respectful, and independent adults." Practice for this week: One boundary. Just one. Ask yourself: Where am I the most resentful? What am I tolerating that I no longer want to tolerate? What boundary would protect my time, energy, or peace? Write it down. Practice saying it out loud. Then hold it, even if it's uncomfortable.

What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters. How can characters doing reprehensible things still engage audiences? How can you ensure representation isn't endorsement? And whether these characters undergo transformative arcs, or simply reveal their true natures? Part 1 focuses on two (now classic) noirs: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE. While Part 2 looks at two more contemporary examples DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESs and WOMAN OF THE HOUR. As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.

Stop. Dieting. Forever. with Jennifer Dent Brown, Life + Weight Loss Coach
How to Become Unrecognizable in 2026: The 5 Decisions Women Over 40 Need to Make Now If you're doing what you did last January and getting what you got last February (disappointed, frustrated, right back where you started), this episode is for you. I'm giving you the real talk about why your old weight loss strategies stopped working after 40. Spoiler: it's not because you lack discipline. You lack DATA. In this episode, I'm breaking down the five specific decisions that will actually move the needle on your weight loss, your energy, and your body composition. These aren't the surface fixes you've been trying. These are the foundational shifts that make everything else work. One of my clients literally cleaned her living room and lost 10 pounds. I know it sounds wild, but I explain exactly how your external environment is directly connected to your internal chaos (and your food choices). Plus, I'm sharing my own journey with insulin resistance. My fasting insulin went from 6.8 to 4.8 over 20 months, and that shift changed everything about how my body burns fat, regulates appetite, and maintains energy. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your doctor's version of "fine" is keeping you fat, exhausted, and hormonally wrecked (and what labs you actually need to request) The birth control vs. HRT double standard that no one talks about (birth control has 10X the clot risk but doctors hand it out like Skittles) How cleaning ONE space in your home can break the mental clutter that's sabotaging your food choices (this is the breakthrough most women never see coming) The exact protein target you need to preserve muscle and actually change your body composition after 40 (hint: it's way more than you're eating now) Why daily weigh-ins are sabotaging you and what to track instead (weekly averages will save your sanity) How to know if you're a simple case or complex case (and whether you need group coaching or private 1:1 support) The real cost of NOT solving your weight loss struggle this year (it's not just financial) If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to work WITH your body instead of against it, this episode gives you the complete roadmap. Book a consultation call at jenniferdent.com/consult to talk about whether my Complete Transformation program is right for you. FEATURED ON THE SHOW / RESOURCES

WICKED PART 2 REACTION IS FINALLY HERE!! Wicked: For Good Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects WICKED: Part 1 (2024) Movie Reaction: • WICKED (2024) IS BEAUTIFUL!! MOVIE REACTIO... Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 A year after being dazzled by Wicked: Part One, Greg, Aaron, & Johnald RETURN to Oz for their Wicked: For Good Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), this chapter adapts Act II of the stage musical, carrying the story beyond spectacle into consequence, legacy, and the cost of choosing who you become in the land of Oz. Picking up after the fallout of Part One, the film follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo – Harriet, The Color Purple) as she fully embraces her identity as the Wicked Witch, fighting against a system that has turned her into a symbol of fear. Across the divide is Glinda (Ariana Grande – Don't Look Up, Victorious), now the public face of goodness, forced to reconcile privilege, power, and the painful distance growing between her and her former best friend. Their fractured bond forms the emotional core of the film, culminating in moments that redefine friendship, sacrifice, and how history chooses its heroes and villains. The supporting cast deepens Oz's moral complexity, with Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, torn between duty, love, and rebellion; Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as the manipulative Madame Morrible; and Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnarok) as The Wizard, whose charm masks devastating political cruelty. Returning roles include Ethan Slater (SpongeBob SquarePants on Broadway) as Boq and Marissa Bode as Nessarose, whose storyline becomes one of the film's darkest and most consequential threads.

Meanwhile, Magnus and Kumail Nanjiani's Brotherhood of Steel character bond inside their power armor, leading to a powerful reunion with the former squire who once served under Magnus in Season 1 — a moment that brings Brotherhood loyalty, shame, and brotherhood full circle.

Tune in as the Christmas season comes to a close on 2CC! For this fifth and final episode of December (as well as the final episode of 2025), Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) is hopping back onto the program for a breakdown of Eyes Wide Shut, the 1999 psychosexual drama film about a Manhattan doctor who, after learning his wife had fantasized about sleeping with another man, embarks on a dreamlike journey through the city and into a shadowy underworld that he has no business being in. The simultaneously eerie and cozy atmosphere, the hot take that this doesn't count as a Christmas movie, Bill's view of women and domestic life from his own masculine perspective, and the gorgeousness of Nicole Kidman with those glasses of hers land as some of the subject matter for this episode.Directed by Stanley Kubrick, Eyes Wide Shut stars Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Pollack, Marie Richardson, Rade Šerbedžija, Todd Field, Vinessa Shaw, Alan Cumming, Sky du Mont, Fay Masterson, Leelee Sobieski, Thomas Gibson, Madison Eginton, Julienne Davis, and Leon Vitali.Spoilers start at 33:35Erotic 90s | Eyes Wide Shut, Part 1 from You Must Remember ThisErotic 90s | Eyes Wide Shut, Part 2, and the Sexiest Man Alive in 1999 from You Must Remember ThisEYES WIDE SHUT: Recreating New York with Stanley KubrickCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Anna: Canada's Drag Race• Arthur: Alice Rue Evades the Truth by Emily ZippsReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

It's the end of 2025, so naturally we're settling scores. The gang kicks off revisiting what we somehow rated the highest this year and arguing whether those scores still hold up. From anime to TV, movies, and games, we run through our favorite 2025 recommendations—and a few picks that definitely say more about us than the media itself.We dive headfirst into a full spoiler discussion of the Plur1bus finale, breaking down what worked, what didn't, and whether the ending actually earned its big swings.Izzy gives his take on the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, wrestling with nostalgia, shot-for-shot faithfulness, and the uncomfortable realization that it might actually work.Mox checks in with Another World, spotlighting a lesser-talked-about animated film out of Hong Kong and why it stood out visually and thematically.Gibbs unloads by suffering through—and reporting back on—a pile of truly awful Christmas movies, because someone had to do it, and it definitely wasn't going to be Izzy.Finally, we close out 2025 by diving into a full review of Battle of the Sexes as part of the ongoing Emmaverse, unpacking its themes, performances, and whether it deserves its place in our ever-growing Emma Stone–adjacent cinematic journey.End-of-year chaos, Emmaverse commitments, strong opinions, questionable rankings, and absolutely no restraint.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) express concern over Katie Logan's (Heather Tom) capability to run a fashion house and the naming of her new company. Katie, however, is set to prove them wrong, with support from Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). B&B spoilers indicate Brooke and Ridge's objections involve the use of the family name "Logan" for Katie's company and their assumption that Katie is trying to cash in on Brooke's fame. In response, Bill encourages Katie to stand her ground and show Brooke and Ridge that she is more than capable. Spoilers for Bold and Beautiful expose a trademark issue that arises. The Logan Designs trademark, which Forrester Creations let lapse a year ago, is now up for grabs. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are both attempting to register it. Hope Logan's (Annika Noelle) fashion line, Hope for the Future, might also have a lapsed trademark, potentially providing Katie another legal victory. In the event that these trademarks fall into Katie and Liam's hands, Brooke and Ridge's reactions are expected to be explosive. Bold spoilers see more drama unfolds as Hope, dissatisfied with her current situation at Forrester Creations, is considering joining Katie's new venture. This move could potentially allow her to regain control over her brand and work alongside her brother, Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone). Bold and the Beautiful spoilers suggest Eric Forrester (John McCook), who has a full collection ready, might join Katie as her mentor and interim lead designer. This is after Ridge showed disrespect towards Eric, refusing to acknowledge his design work. Bill could also use his media influence through Spencer Publications to promote Katie's new brand and tarnish Forrester Creations' reputation.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) finds himself in a dire situation, with his plan to eliminate his siblings and nephew disastrously backfiring. Peter is now unconscious in Salem University Hospital, with his family debating whether to remove his life support. Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is grappling with her decision to put Peter into a coma and potentially being the one to unplug him. This week's spoilers indicate Kristen will have to make a challenging decision about Peter's fate. DOOL spoilers also delve into the family dynamics of the DiMera family. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) reunites with his children, Charlotte DiMera (Autumn Gendron) and Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary). Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) is also set for a sweet reunion with Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley). In contrast, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is likely seeking justice for his nephew, Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews), and his sister, Lexi Carver (Renee Jones). Spoilers for Days of our Lives bring the subplot involving Kristen's daughter, Rachel Blake (Alice Halsey) that adds another layer of familial conflict. Kristen's joy over not having to return to prison for a crime she didn't commit is juxtaposed with the critical condition of Theo and Peter. The decisions the DiMeras make will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences for their family. This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for Soap Dirt.

We've all heard of the term "midlife crisis" BUT have you ever heard of midlife CLARITY? Honey! We don't know about you but WE surely don't want to live in a crisis! Pick your hard girl! The question at hand is this: Is hitting your 40s and 50s really about spiraling into a crisis—or is it finally the moment everything clicks? This show dives into the messy, funny, and eye-opening realities of midlife. Society tries to make us fearful of entering this stage of our lives but should we be afraid? Or should we be excited about the possibility of rediscovering passions (and maybe yourself in the process)? So let's explore whether this stage is breakdown or breakthrough. Spoiler: it might just be both.

Gun Fights Step right up for "Gun Fights," the high-octane segment hosted by Nick Lynch, where our cast members go head-to-head in a game show-style showdown! Each contestant tries to prove their gun knowledge dominance. It's a wild ride of bids, bluffs, and banter—who will come out on top? Tune in to find out! WLS is Lifestyle Pew Report Refresh! Pew Report Relaunch Resolutions Agency Brief "James Madison calculated that 500,000 armed rednecks could crush a federal army of 30,000. It's 2025, and the ATF is still trying to fudge those numbers. Spoiler alert: They can't." THE SETUP: The Panic of 1788 The Constitution is on the ropes. New York and Virginia are threatening to vote "No." The Fear: Anti-Federalists (Patrick Henry, George Mason) scream that a new "Standing Army" will crush the states and enslave the people. The Stakes: If Madison can't convince them the people are safe, the United States ends before it starts. THE ARGUMENT: Madison's Math of Tyranny Madison drops Federalist No. 46 on January 29, 1788. The Calculation: He estimates a federal army can max out at 25,000–30,000 men. The Counter-Force: He pits them against 500,000 "citizens with arms in their hands." The Reality: He argues a federal coup would be suicide. Not because the government is nice, but because the people will shoot them. The Distinction: He explicitly separates the "Federal Government" from "The People." We are the check; we are not the asset. THE "DEAL": Ratification via Firepower The Constitution passes only because of these assurances. Original Intent: This proves the Second Amendment (ratified 1791) was designed to preserve that 16-to-1 power ratio. European Comparison: Madison mocks acts of European kingdoms who "are afraid to trust the people with arms." He frames universal ownership as the definition of American liberty. THE BETRAYAL: Regulatory Creep & The Big Lie The Lie: "The Militia is the National Guard." The Dick Act of 1903 and modern commies try to tell you the Guard replaced the people. The Fact: Madison's math requires the people to be armed. If the "militia" is federally funded and deployed (National Guard), it's part of the standing army Madison warned us about. The Creep: NFA (1934), GCA (1968), and ATF braces/frame rules are all attempts to break Madison's ratio by disarming the 500,000. THE COMEBACK: How We Use This Today Bruen & History: Courts now look to "Text, History, and Tradition." Fed 46 is the gold standard of history. Weapons of War: Gun grabbers say you don't need "weapons of war." Federalist 46 says you must have them, or you cannot serve as the check on the standing army. The Bottom Line: Your AR-15 isn't a loophole. It's the lithmus test for whether Madison's promise is still alive. Going Ballistic Conspiracies and Gun Control Nonsense The fusion conspiracy Restoration of Rights? DOJ Plays Hide and Seek with the Truth Analysis: The DOJ denied a FOIA request seeking the specific criteria used for rights restoration (relief from disabilities), claiming they are not obligated to create or define such records for the public. This refusal persists despite recent pardons raising questions about the process. When: FOIA denial reported late Dec 2025. Executive Overreach: Minnesota Governor Ignores the People on Gun Rights Analysis: After failing to pass "assault weapon" bans through a divided legislature, Governor Tim Walz signed two executive orders to create a safety council and track gun violence costs. Critics argue this bypasses the legislative process and the will of the people. When: Executive orders signed Dec 2025. Hawaii's Wishful Thinking Meets Reality: A Supreme Court Showdown on the Second Amendment Analysis: Hawaii defends its "sensitive places" law in Wolford v. Lopez, citing the "Aloha Spirit" and historical laws to justify bans on carry on private property. The case is set for a Supreme Court showdown, challenging the state's restrictive interpretation of the Second Amendment. When: SCOTUS hearing scheduled for January 20, 2026. Court Strikes Down New Mexico Gun Waiting Period Analysis: The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals denied a rehearing request, upholding a ruling that New Mexico's 7-day waiting period is unconstitutional. The court found that such delays burden Second Amendment rights without sufficient historical support. When: Ruling finalized Dec 2025. California's Latest Gun Grab: Background Checks on Gun Barrels, Really? Analysis: A new California law mandates that all gun barrel sales must be processed through licensed dealers with background checks and fees. The legislation also targets "digital firearm manufacturing code" and opens the door for civil suits against unlawful manufacture. When: Law takes effect Jan 1, 2026. DC's AR-15 Control Chaos: The Feds Strike Back Analysis: The Trump DOJ has filed a lawsuit against Washington, D.C., arguing that its ban on AR-15s and registration requirements are unconstitutional under Heller and Bruen.

Montana's Happy Little Accident: A Win for Gun Rights in Schools (no summary available) Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from DrCensoredGuy - If you want a handgun like a siggity sig. Or a shiny new rifle for piggity pig. This is a podcast you will diggity dig. The cast has one guy who's biggity big. So listen up and try not to fip your wiggity wig. When live on the show he shouts "no notes." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Anonymous Coward from Colorado - If Jeremy doesn't read this, he's gay? The only reason you haven't killed savage is that you are a communist sympathizer, and you want to lay back and have savage make sweet sweet breadhole love to you. You want to prostate carry savage, don't you? You don't even want savage to give you a reach around, just lay you down and give you that bald thumb raw? And what about Aaron? Do you want Arron to feed you his sweet and spicy Kishka? At the same time as savage? You dirty little man. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from 5 heptahectacontakaihenagons If ever there was a podcast that could be used as an example that you don't have to be an expert to be successful, this is it. Never before has such a ragtag group of miscreants been assembled and been viewed by such a large number of people as experts with less knowledge on their subject matter. Bernie Madoff would be proud of the scam you've been able to pull off. The only one who truly seems to have any knowledge is the host of the show. He should definitely talk more.

In our third visit to Pandora hosts James and Miles explore Avatar: Fire and Ash. This time the Sully family wrestles with the loss of their oldest son while running from the reincarnate Colonel Quaritch who has teamed up with a rival Navi clan known as the fire people. It's refreshing to see a blockbuster movie that encourages people to have faith rather than depend on their own materialistic understanding to get through life. Our heroes must face their own internal struggles while even our antagonists are called to repent and turn to their god.

December 29, 2025 Spoiler: All humans are just humans by Dr. Farid Holakouee
President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully. The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies). The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well. Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive. Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24. ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life. What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5. Gear matters.Helmet alwaysProper lenses for conditionsRegular ski tuningCheck your bindings if your weight changes! 6. Ski with a buddy.Especially in trees, bowls, or sketchy conditions. My friend being there changed everything.7. Stay positive.This injury was rough. But it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful, healing, and counting the days until I'm back on snow—stronger, smarter, and maybe a little sassier. Final Thoughts: Misadventure or Badge of Honor?At The Travel Brats, we believe travel isn't just beaches and cocktails—it's wipeouts, lessons learned, and stories that make you laugh later (like… much later).My ACL tear was painful, expensive, and humbling. But it taught me how resilient the human body (and spirit!) can be. And when I finally click back into my skis, I'll be ready—with sharpened edges, proper goggles, adjusted bindings, and a whole lot more patience for the unpredictable humans around me.Until then…Stay safe, stay adventurous, and ski smart, Brats. ❄️❤️⛷️
