In the season finale of EhMaGawd, Lisi and Ellen share what they’re shedding in 2025 (Year of the Snake) and what they will be riding towards in 2026 (Year of the Horse). Fear not, this is not about resolutions, because those stick as well as those Post-It notes at the bottom of your purse, covered in hair and globs of lip gloss. Shedding (the cool girl’s resolution) is about molting the old patterns, identities, and illusions that no longer serve you, and accepting who you are today. Then, leveling up from there. So much so that Lisi and Ellen give each other challenges for 2026. Digressions include: tech neck, hockey stick spines, the current state of Broadway, and why mentoring is more rewarding than parenting.
