372 | The Year of Analog and Why Presence Is the New Luxury

Welcome back, WIFs!

In this cozy catch-up episode, sisters Lauren and Michelle reflect on the sweetness of the post-holiday pause, sip Costco hot green tea, and talk about what they’re intentionally caring less about—from anxiety-inducing college admissions noise to that pesky whisker. They share why the week between Christmas and New Year is pure magic, unpack a meaningful New Year ritual that led to the word correspondence, and explore what it looks like to go slower and focus on tiny, thoughtful details.

The conversation naturally flows into a hot topic close to their hearts: why 2026 feels like the year of analog, from puzzles and snail mail to vinyl, planners, and real phone calls. Plus, there’s sponsor love, cozy media recs, and Simple Joys of the Week—including lingering Christmas lights and heartfelt handwritten notes that prove written words still matter.

Press play, snuggle up, and settle into this comforting, intentional, and very cozy conversation.
