In today’s episode, “8 Things 2025 Taught Us,” Deshauna and Marvin reflect on the lessons this year required — personally, emotionally, and professionally. From staying aligned and being willing to start before you’re not fully polished, to prioritizing mental health, meaningful relationships, and the long game, this episode offers thoughtful insight for anyone navigating growth and transition. Whether you’re rethinking your career, relationships, or personal well-being, these lessons invite you to slow down, stay intentional, and move with clarity into what’s next. This conversation invites you to pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity. In this episode, we talk about:  Staying in your lane and focusing on alignment Being willing to be seen before everything feels perfect The value of real relationships and connection How integrity compounds over time Seizing the moment instead of waiting for perfect timing Prioritizing therapy and emotional health Why taking PTO matters Embracing delayed gratification and playing the long game ________________________________________________________________________ Watch Related Videos  Welcome To Knotted! | Episode 001 ➣    • Knotted Podcast Episode 1 | Honest Converse...    He Pays My Bills! ➣    • He Pays My Bills!     Gen Z Got Played! ➣    • Gen Z Got Played! A Digital Childhood Brea...   The Bathroom Saved Our Marriage! ➣    • The Bathroom Saved Our Marriage! | Real Ta...   ________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoyed this episode, leave a review and make sure you subscribe.  Subscribe to The Knotted Podcast for more honest conversations about growth, relationships, and self-awareness. Comment below: Which lesson from 2025 resonated with you most? Share this episode with someone who needs this perspective heading into the new year.
