It’s Rylee and Jaj here, serving up holiday vibes, family awkwardness, and questionable gift decisions on this holly jolly episode of Good As New. Christmas Eve is here (!!!), and we’re diving into the magic, the mess, and the madness of last-minute wrapping, weird holiday traditions, and the inevitable family drama (because let’s be honest, someone always makes it weird).

From creepy uncles to dirty jokes gone wrong at family parties, we’re sharing your hilarious—and slightly horrifying—holiday disaster stories. Plus, we’re spilling on navigating the “holiday parent split,” setting boundaries, and how to gracefully dodge your mother-in-law’s cinnamon rolls when you’re secretly craving your mom’s stuffing.

Takeaway? YOU create the magic, not the gifts. But hey, if you’re listening, Santa, we wouldn’t say no to an Aritzia coat or a therapy session that doesn’t leave us emotionally wrecked.

Hug your people, snap those family pics (but put your phone down after), and have yourself a drama-free (ish) Christmas Eve. 🎅✨

P.S. Stay tuned for our post-Christmas breakdown of even more holiday horror stories—because the drama never takes a day off. 🎁🎄

**Trigger Warning** This episode discusses sexual assault.
She has a well-known family and her children are beloved by so many. But Madison Fisher’s own experiences as a child who dealt with unwanted attention from adults and a survivor of sexual assault has made her a hyper vigilant parent and a voice for those without one. In our latest podcast episode, we engage in a deeply important and sensitive conversation about the crucial need to protect our children from sexual assault. The scars left by such experiences are not just physical, but deeply psychological, often shrouded in unwarranted shame and silence. It's vital to understand the immense courage it takes for victims to come forward, and the complex emotions they navigate. We delve into why it's essential to educate our children on the importance of speaking up, recognizing inappropriate behavior, and knowing they have a safe space with trusted adults. This episode is a call to action for all adults to be vigilant, supportive, and proactive in safeguarding our children's innocence and well being. Tune in to hear Madison’s powerful story.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, please see the resources below:
1. **Local Law Enforcement**: One of the primary steps can be reporting to the local police department. This is crucial for the possibility of criminal investigation and legal action against the perpetrator.
2. **National Sexual Assault Hotline**: In the United States, individuals can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or use their online chat service. The hotline provides confidential support and can guide survivors through the process of reporting and seeking help.
3. **Hospitals and Health Clinics**: Medical professionals can treat injuries, provide emergency contraception and STI prevention, and collect forensic evidence through a rape kit. They can also report the assault to the authorities with the victim's consent.
4. **Victim Services Agencies**: Local or regional victim services agencies offer counseling, legal advocacy, and assistance in navigating the reporting process.
5. **Schools or Universities**: For assaults that occur on campus or involve students, most educational institutions have a Title IX coordinator or a similar official responsible for handling reports of sexual assault and harassment.
6. **Workplace Human Resources Department**: If the assault is related to the workplace or involves colleagues, reporting to the HR department can initiate an internal investigation and support processes.
It's important for survivors to know they're not alone, and there are resources and individuals ready to support them through this process. Each country and region has specific services, so it's beneficial to look for local resources that can provide immediate and tailored assistance.

We think Kenzey's sister Syd sums this episode up well: God is good, people are kind, and miracles happen. 14 weeks ago Kenzey was on the girl's trip of the summer in South Carolina when a normal day of boating and tubing turned into the trip that would forever change her life. Her parents were across the country when they received the news that Kenzey had been hit by a boat and was fighting for her life. But with the help of fast-acting people, angels, advice from Grandpa, incredible doctors, and a whole lot of prayers, Kenzey is here today - and all in one piece. Her road to recovery is just beginning but we were blown away by just how far she's come. She's strong and tenacious with a zest for life. Listen in as Kenzey recounts her harrowing brush with death and how she's come out the other side Good as New.

Discomfort sucks. Losing your job is embarrassing and humiliating. And many times, it feels like the end of the end. But what if it’s that start of a new beginning? In today’s episode we’re talking about something pretty massive that happened in Rylee and Josh’s life recently and the feelings that came along with it. And it had us thinking, are we looking at the end of things as failure or are we looking at the end of one thing as an opportunity to pivot and do something new and better? Why do we automatically attribute change to something negative? Change is good. Change is cathartic. And change allows something new and better to come around the corner. I’m fact, we’re choosing to make change work for us and leave us feeling good as new.
