Hey there, stranger.

2

It's been a minute, hasn't it?

3

Welcome back to The Mirror Project.

4

We're your hosts, Christine.

5

Alexandra: And Alexandra.

6

Christine: And we're

thrilled to have you with us.

7

We've missed you so much and

we're so excited to be back.

8

If you're wondering where

we've been, don't worry.

9

We'll fill you in shortly.

10

Back in September, we decided

to take a little break to

11

rest, recharge, and realign.

12

But now we're here.

13

Ready to dive back into the

conversations we all love.

14

So grab your headphones,

settle in and let's catch up

15

because it's been way too long.

16

All right, everybody.

17

It's been so long.

18

Alexandra, can you believe it?

19

Somehow it's now 2025.

20

Alexandra: I know, right?

21

And we're already a little ways

22

still am saying 2024 at times,

23

Christine: yes, I've definitely

caught myself saying it, writing it.

24

It's just the way it goes

when the new year begins.

25

I'm like, I never know where

I am or what time it is.

26

But of start off this episode by

filling everybody in on like what

27

we've been up to, why we decided to

take a little hiatus from the podcast.

28

Alexandra: Okay.

29

I can get us into that.

30

So back in the fall, we

were both really busy.

31

And I was finishing up

my last term as my MBA,

32

Christine: Woo hoo!

33

Mm

34

Alexandra: Sure we talked about on the

podcast previously last year that I was

35

in my last calendar year of that program.

36

Christine: hmm.

37

Alexandra: This decision to, we were

set up to take a little bit of a

38

break anyways, and it just turned

into a pause on the program because.

39

I didn't want it to become one more

thing that we just had to check off the

40

list of things to accomplish that week

41

because this is a project that means so

much to the both of us, it's really about

42

heart connection and deep, meaningful

conversations that bring it to life, which

43

at the point that we both were, Wouldn't

have been what we were giving to you guys.

44

Everything that was happening, we

realized that pushing forward as

45

planned might take away from what makes

this so magical and so meaningful.

46

By taking a longer break and that

proceed after the scheduled break,

47

we gave ourselves time to recharge.

48

Finch of our current projects that

we're consuming so much time and

49

Christine: Hear,

50

Alexandra: ready for 2025 and particularly

what we wanted to do with this podcast

51

and bring ourselves back to the

shared passion, fully so here's a

52

Christine: hear.

53

Alexandra: been going on.

54

So Christine.

55

What was going on with you in the fall?

56

Christine: Yeah mostly, I wasn't as

bitty, I wasn't as busy as you, my dear.

57

I but I was with you in spirit

the whole way through cheering

58

you on from the sidelines.

59

But, mostly we Hehehehe.

60

Alexandra: thank you so much.

61

Christine: Always.

62

I got you, boo.

63

But, Gosh, I guess the main thing that

was, I was focused on while we were

64

on our little break was my, my job.

65

I started a new job just over a year ago

and Throughout the year it's had quite

66

the evolution of what my duties and

responsibilities have come to be, and it's

67

become a full time job, which is amazing,

and I'm doing so many wonderful things.

68

I'm doing another podcast, I'm, diving

into video editing, and I'm doing

69

a YouTube channel for the business.

70

I'm in charge of all of the marketing and

social media and all of that So I've been

71

learning a lot doing a lot, and it really

worked out well that we ended up doing a

72

break from this creative project because

it allowed me to dive into that one more

73

and learn new skills and develop skills.

74

I already had that hopefully when

most likely will benefit this

75

project So yeah, that's basically

what my whole deal has been

76

Alexandra: I think there was something

else really special about fall,

77

Christine: Was there oh my birthday

78

Alexandra: Yeah.

79

Christine: Oh yeah, I guess that's true.

80

I turned 30 this past year, everybody.

81

Alexandra: And

82

Christine: Yeah.

83

Alexandra: a whole party for it.

84

An amazing

85

Christine: I did.

86

I did.

87

I wanted to go all out.

88

Usually, when it comes to, I love

to plan a party, but I don't like

89

being the center of attention.

90

But I said, you know what?

91

Fuck it.

92

It's my 30th birthday.

93

I wanna have, I wanna

go like, All out for it.

94

And so I came up with a really cute

theme that's very on brand for me

95

called teeny bit older because I love

a martini and I'm a teeny bit older.

96

And for those, the OG listeners now,

one of my many not many, one of my

97

nicknames family nicknames is teeny.

98

So it all worked out.

99

But.

100

Yeah that I guess is the really

big update since we've all

101

checked in with one another.

102

And not only did I turn 30, Alex

came up to visit me for a little

103

Alexandra: lot of fun.

104

Christine: celebratory,

birthday celebrating.

105

And then I went down to visit her

just between, just after Christmas

106

and we spent the new year together.

107

Alexandra: It

108

Christine: Yeah.

109

Alexandra: were back in college

living in the same state.

110

Christine: I know!

111

I, exactly.

112

Two times in one month.

113

Who, who are we?

114

But it was so much fun and it was

such a great way to close out the year

115

and start a new decade all at once.

116

I'm so excited to be 30, everyone.

117

I've, was so ready to leave my 20s.

118

20s were, a rough time at a moment,

so I'm very excited for my 30s.

119

All right, Alex, give

everybody the update.

120

Alexandra: I think I think most

of it really was just the MBA.

121

I think I called Christine and the panic.

122

It must've been after we'd recorded

our last episode for September.

123

And I was just like, I can't do this.

124

I am so overwhelmed.

125

And so just couldn't even

keep my head above water.

126

And I think part of what was just,

I was taking very heavy classes,

127

Christine: Yeah, it

128

Alexandra: for the program and my last

course that elective was also my last

129

course for my certificate as well as

the capstone course of the MBA program.

130

And I don't think I've ever

taken an elective course.

131

That was so much work, guys.

132

Were three group projects, three.

133

I'm sorry.

134

There were three papers, big papers,

plus weekly discussion boards, plus your

135

weekly quizzes, plus all your reading.

136

And two of those papers happened to

be group projects with the same group.

137

And all three of those timelines for

all projects were running concurrently

138

on top of the consulting class with an

actual client, which is also what we did

139

for one of our projects in marketing.

140

At one point I was meeting

all five days after work.

141

I was so And so by the time

like we came to recording this,

142

I was like, I'm so tapped out.

143

My brain was like a little fried and

I'm like, marketing, brand management,

144

and, capstone and clients who didn't

know what they wanted, but they

145

thought they knew what they wanted.

146

It was a lot, there was a

147

Christine: was a lot.

148

Alexandra: I was like, how am

I going to get through this?

149

I'm just never going to finish.

150

It's going to, I'm not going

to, what's going to happen.

151

I can't do this.

152

Why is it this way?

153

What's happening?

154

And then Yeah.

155

Work was also busy.

156

We had a lot of data stuff and coming

up that I helped manage and then

157

trying to do a lot of curriculum

stuff that I helped out with my job.

158

So it was just an all around a lot.

159

I really crawled under a

rock to just finish my work.

160

I put my head down and

basically tuned out quite a lot.

161

So really wasn't active a whole lot.

162

I ended up did.

163

commit to calling Christine weekly and we

did end up playing phone tag quite a lot

164

because as I'm sure we've mentioned, I'm

very much a morning person and Christine

165

is very much a night person and all

my classes and meetings were at night.

166

So by the time they were over, I'm like,

167

Christine: good night.

168

Alexandra: Good night, world.

169

but there was a few friends that did

make a point to catch up with like once

170

a month and that was really helpful.

171

And so then I graduated

in December, finished,

172

Christine: I watched her walk

across the stage from New Jersey.

173

Maybe.

174

Alexandra: Fun, fun fact about that.

175

I think Christine has potentially

nefarious intentions of putting that on

176

our social media but my hood color is

actually the wrong color for my degree.

177

When I'd ordered my hood, I had

ordered the correct, degree program,

178

but they sent me the wrong color.

179

So it looks like I graduated from.

180

a master's of education

or religious education.

181

I actually have an MBA.

182

So I ended up getting the right color hood

because I wanted to do something with it.

183

Christine: Sure.

184

Alexandra: Want to frame it

and whatnot, but I had to go

185

get the correct color hood.

186

Cause like my invoice

said the correct color.

187

But funny

188

Christine: Yeah,

189

Alexandra: back at my email, The picture

was wrong, but the name was correct.

190

So

191

Christine: that's so weird.

192

Alexandra: programs

all across the country.

193

And the color is called drab.

194

Christine: Because, why?

195

It's so

196

Oh, Lord.

197

Alexandra: like a brown taupe drab color.

198

It was like, is lovely

199

Christine: drab.

200

It

201

Alexandra: so, uh, I went up to

see Christine for as a combination

202

celebration of graduation and early birth.

203

It was still after your birthday,

204

Christine: was after, yeah.

205

Alexandra: pre birthday party celebration.

206

And we went into New York City,

so that was fun to go back and

207

Christine: I don't remember

the last time I was in the city

208

before we went, so it was great.

209

Alexandra: I know the last

time I was, was with you.

210

I think we went for, the Van

Gogh or did we also go in for

211

something else after that?

212

Christine: Klimt.

213

I think we went to a similar,

but it was for Klimt.

214

Yeah, mm hmm.

215

Alexandra: we do that day?

216

We did Clemton, something else.

217

Christine: Oh, Sleep No More.

218

Alexandra: Uh, Yeah.

219

Yeah.

220

Yeah.

221

Christine: Mm hmm, That was really fun.

222

It was like an immersive

theater experience.

223

Was interesting.

224

I don't think it was a fan.

225

Alex was a fan.

226

Yeah,

227

Alexandra: being scared shitless

or wanting to punch somebody.

228

I don't know if anyone's ever done

it, but it's, you're in masks.

229

Christine: yeah.

230

Alexandra: It was, took me a while

to remember that it was about Hamlet.

231

Christine: Was it?

232

I don't even think I do that.

233

Alexandra: Yeah.

234

Christine: Quick little tangent

for those listening wondering

235

what the hell we're talking about.

236

So this was a, I don't think

it's on a thing you can see

237

anymore, but it was a production

in New York called Sleep No More.

238

And it was an immersive theater

experience inside of a building that um,

239

Alexandra: I think.

240

Christine: yes, that there were

things happening on multiple

241

levels in the building.

242

And you as of attendee of the Experience

could go wherever you want, and basically

243

you could lock on one specific performer

and follow them and see what they're

244

up to, like what What is driving their

character forward, or you can just

245

explore the different rooms and see

what happens, what might show up but

246

you are wearing a mask the whole time,

and I'm slightly claustrophobic, so

247

I, you start sweating, you're going up

and down and through different levels.

248

At one point, Alex and

I got separated, and

249

Alexandra: I

250

Christine: yeah.

251

So,

252

Alexandra: Bar and I was like um,

253

Christine: we're done.

254

Alexandra: moment.

255

This was also, guys, at the time

Covid was mostly done, but you

256

Christine: Yeah.

257

Alexandra: in public places.

258

So

259

Christine: Yeah.

260

Alexandra: had masks covering our

mouth, and then we had a top face mask.

261

Christine: Yep.

262

Alexandra: Most of the

place was also really dark.

263

Christine: Yeah.

264

I was really worried I would fall

And because when we got separated,

265

it was like you were in a maze.

266

And I was like, I don't know how to

get back because there's people there

267

to help you if you need you have a

medical emergency or whatever, but for

268

the most part, you're not supposed to

touch, interact with the performers.

269

But also

270

Alexandra: We

271

Christine: like,

272

Alexandra: with the sets.

273

Christine: We could.

274

Yes, we could open things up,

we could flip through things.

275

It was just, it was an

interesting concept, but I

276

don't know if it's, was for me.

277

Alexandra: I can't remember.

278

Christine: Not really.

279

Alexandra: So it was almost like

280

Christine: There was some,

281

Alexandra: too, that

you're interacting with.

282

Christine: Yeah, and I'll

be honest, I don't know.

283

I don't know the major story.

284

Cause things are happening

at different times.

285

And also there were so many people.

286

And like, a character would run

and then everybody would start

287

running to follow that person.

288

I'm like, I'm not running.

289

Alexandra: I looked at

Chrissy and I went, no.

290

Christine: No.

291

But we you could Whatever you want,

go back to basically there was like a

292

speakeasy where you could have food and

drink and there was performers there.

293

So we went back there and just finished

the rest of our experience there.

294

And yeah.

295

Alexandra: a, I think, a jazz

singer at the bar, so that was nice.

296

Christine: But that was our last

visit when Alex was in town this time

297

around we did something different.

298

Alexandra: Yes, we did.

299

Sure we definitely talked about it

on our Worlds in Words book episode.

300

I can't remember when we filmed

that, but we both love to read.

301

are also both lovers of the

romance, fantasy romance genre.

302

And there is a bookstore in that is

dedicated entirely to the romance genre.

303

So we went out to the Rift Bodice

and I think we spent two hours there.

304

Minimum.

305

Christine: Easily.

306

Alexandra: hours.

307

And it was a beautiful, rainy day.

308

Not

309

Christine: Mm hmm.

310

Alexandra: Too rainy.

311

So we did get to go to

Bryant Park and walk around.

312

We did a lot of Christmas shopping.

313

Um,

314

Christine: Mm hmm.

315

Alexandra: For Christine's

30th birthday, I wanted to do

316

something special and different.

317

Something that was more consumable

and not just something that she would

318

have to stick on a shelf somewhere.

319

So I ordered some cookie art

a creator in New York City.

320

And She did a wonderful job, but it was

an adventure to pick up the cookies.

321

It was a kind of a crazy time,

the holidays, it was just weird.

322

And so at some point we did get a

taxi over to where we picked him up.

323

Christine: Yeah.

324

Alexandra: asked me, are

we staying in the city?

325

And I went, No.

326

So we ended up, the cookies weren't ready.

327

So we ended up going to dinner and

the artist was very sweet and had them

328

delivered to where we having dinner.

329

Cause we had to head back.

330

But they were all around her

birthday theme, a teeny bit

331

Christine: Yeah.

332

Alexandra: 30.

333

So they had some beautiful

cookies in there.

334

So that was a really fun adventure day.

335

And then she also took me all around

her town which funny enough, the last

336

few times I visited Never really got

to see much of Montclair, so that

337

Christine: Yeah.

338

Alexandra: fun to walk around the,

the, the city and just get to spend

339

time with each other that wasn't

centered around the podcast and

340

like also just to, be with your

341

Christine: Yeah.

342

Exactly.

343

Celebrate your accomplishment

of graduating from your program.

344

Yeah, it was, we did a lot of wonderful

things with the short time we had that

345

weekend, but then we knew we were seeing

each other in just a few short weeks when

346

I, I actually drove down, did a little

road trip for myself down to visit you in

347

North Carolina, and we spent the new year

together, and it was great to see you.

348

Your mom, and we went down to

Charlotte for New Year's Eve,

349

and that was a lot of fun.

350

It was like the perfect

amount of activity.

351

We were home to watch the ball drop

but we went out and had a great meal.

352

Gosh, that, I still dream about

that meal, because it was a steal.

353

It was good sushi for the, for so cheap.

354

It was great.

355

Alexandra: And I was

356

Christine: Um.

357

Alexandra: Christine and some friends

we were with and my sister that I was

358

like, I don't think I've seen up for

the ball drop in quite a few years.

359

So it was

360

Christine: I know.

361

Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

362

I got to meet your sister's puppy.

363

Alexandra: Oh

364

Christine: adorable, and it was so funny.

365

We were getting ready to toast, and we

were all ready, counting down, and she

366

wanted to be a part of the moment, but

my arm was out, and she was jumping

367

up onto the couch, and literally,

it was, I felt like slow motion.

368

She hit my arm, and It, the

shot went flying and I was

369

like, okay, happy new year.

370

I wish we caught that on

camera because that was crazy.

371

Actually, she, we might have

because doesn't she have a

372

camera set up in her apartment

373

Alexandra: Oh yeah.

374

Christine: on the bar?

375

Oh my gosh, we totally should.

376

Alexandra: It's hey, do

you have film of that?

377

Oh yeah, that was quite fun.

378

Christine: That was fun.

379

Yeah.

380

And So that brings us to today.

381

Alexandra: Christine, do you want

to talk about our goals for the

382

mirror project for 2025, now that

we're back and in full swing?

383

Christine: yeah, so we're,

we're both so happy to be back.

384

We're ready to go all in.

385

We're going to be back to

doing our weekly episode drops.

386

I know.

387

I'm really excited for that.

388

And.

389

Just like last year, we've

planned out a few short breaks.

390

But you can always count on us

to be back with fresh content

391

pretty regularly for you all.

392

And for me in particular, one of

my main goals for this year for

393

the podcast is video content.

394

I want, this'll be the first episode

that is over on YouTube where you can

395

watch us And we're going to be doing

that more and more, and my goal is to

396

also go back and do our earlier episodes

and provide video for that as well.

397

So, More on that, but,

398

Alexandra: you aware.

399

We'll keep everyone aware of when we

drop those episodes, when we go back and

400

Christine: yeah.

401

Alexandra: the video content.

402

And.

403

Be kind to us, guys, because we had not

really intended for those to be totally

404

video content, so We're learning as we go.

405

Christine: We are.

406

Alexandra: I think Christine is

really working on being a great friend

407

and pushing me outside our comfort

zones, because Oh, this is gonna

408

be so interesting with the videos.

409

Christine: Yeah, we know that

it probably will be cringey.

410

We embrace the cringe.

411

Embrace it with us.

412

Livin it.

413

Livin it with us.

414

Alexandra: Just really makes me

work on becoming the recovering

415

perfectionist that I am.

416

So the fact that Willingly

putting ourselves out there.

417

Christine: Yeah.

418

Yeah.

419

Alexandra: this.

420

Christine: And we'll, we'll just be

able to look back and see how far we've

421

come when we're like, way down the road.

422

But,

423

Alexandra: also want to film one,

one episode together in person.

424

Christine: Yeah.

425

Alexandra: side by side, recording.

426

So that'll be coming up too.

427

Christine: For sure.

428

Not quite sure when that'll happen, but

it's definitely a goal for the year.

429

Alexandra: I do think we have a

big thing coming up this year.

430

Christine: do we know?

431

Yeah.

432

Mm hmm.

433

Alexandra: I'd love to

do a big trip to Europe.

434

Do you want to go?

435

And I was like, absolutely.

436

course.

437

I want to go back to Europe.

438

so we're going to go to.

439

Rome, Venice, and Paris so we have

finally settled on time of year.

440

So we're going to go in the fall,

441

Christine: In the fall.

442

Alexandra: and I

443

Christine: Yeah.

444

Alexandra: love to do some specific

content for you all about that.

445

Christine: Yeah.

446

Alexandra: be something

447

Christine: Maybe it's some like little

vlogs or who knows what we'll do, but

448

Yeah I've always wanted to go to Venice.

449

I've been to Rome before and

some other spots in Italy, but

450

Venice has always been a dream.

451

I've been in love with it

since I was a teenager.

452

And Alex has never been to Italy at all.

453

So we're gonna start in Rome.

454

We're gonna, Throw a coin over our

shoulder at the Trevi Fountain so

455

that she'll be able to come back and

experience all See the Vatican Maybe

456

do a couple of other little things and

then we're gonna scoot on up To Venice

457

stay there for a few days and then

we're gonna go to Paris and I've never

458

been to Paris but You, my dear, have.

459

So she it's cool.

460

It's a fun balance.

461

We're doing new things,

but we're also experiencing

462

things that we've done before.

463

Alexandra: Mm

464

Christine: I'm very excited for that

and very I'm really looking forward

465

to what sort of things we come up with

to share with you all on our journey.

466

Alexandra: Yeah.

467

Maybe by that time we'll certainly

be more comfortable being on camera.

468

We

469

for 2025 when we were sitting down to

plan out is that we want to revisit some

470

meaningful topics that we started in 2024.

471

And we had noted that we

want to come back to you.

472

So

473

Christine: Yeah.

474

Alexandra: will be conversations

like our body health and image

475

that we did last February.

476

probably push that out.

477

We ideally would love to

get some guests for that.

478

So we honestly want to work

on what we want to talk about,

479

what we want to revisit.

480

What new thoughts we have to add

to that conversation and we talked,

481

I think there was an episode

where we talked about confidence.

482

So that's something to constantly revisit.

483

And a couple others.

484

And if any of our listeners

who are joining us again, want

485

us to revisit something, reach

out to us and let us know.

486

So we can put that in

our rotation of episodes

487

Christine: And to that point,

we want to keep, we want to keep

488

growing our reach and our engagement.

489

So this year we're putting more of

ourselves into our social media presence.

490

Our goal is to surpass a hundred followers

on social media and it reached, hopefully

491

this, Reaching over 100 listeners per

episode whatever the numbers end up being

492

is a big accomplishment, but it's always

it's nice to have a benchmark to try and

493

meet and surpass, so that's definitely

a major goal driving us this year.

494

Alexandra: and Christine has some

plans in the work to help us get there.

495

She definitely is, has been using the

knowledge that she's gained from her

496

job and Got some ideas for us to do some

platform specific content for you all that

497

we'll release out throughout the year.

498

Mostly we want to be consistent and,

499

Christine: Yes.

500

Alexandra: up for you all.

501

And that leads us into another

aspect of REACH and that's

502

building support and sponsorships.

503

We would like to work on some securing

some sponsorships and gaining listeners

504

support through some of our memberships,

which we might actually end up doing.

505

special content for on this project

that mostly we can continue to do this

506

project that we love and produce content.

507

Christine: Yeah, exactly.

508

Totally.

509

Alexandra: is interested,

knows of anything, again, has

510

ideas, please reach out to us.

511

We would love to hear them.

512

Christine: Absolutely.

513

We're excited for whatever

may come our way this year.

514

And I think the last thing we'll talk

515

continuing to deepen our conversations.

516

Last year taught us so much

about podcasting and ourselves.

517

So moving forward, we're committed

to being more vulnerable and

518

diving even deeper into topics

that matter the most to us, to you.

519

And we're just really

excited to go even further.

520

So

521

Alexandra: Yeah.

522

Christine: yeah.

523

Alexandra: And part of why we're

telling everyone is this, is to also

524

hold ourselves accountable to these

goals that we set for this project.

525

Christine: Yes.

526

Alexandra: like, yes, we said

it, we're going to do it.

527

So let's get it done.

528

And I think it's going to be really

interesting as Christine mentioned

529

with us trying the video content.

530

I think we're going to be able

531

when we started in 2024 and look at

like how far we have come and what

532

we've learned, how we've improved.

533

Yeah.

534

At least hopefully have improved

535

Christine: Yes.

536

Alexandra: And definitely

be more comfortable.

537

So hopefully you'll see more of

our faces on social media and here,

538

and please support us by listening

both on, where you listen to your

539

podcasts, but also go check us out on

YouTube get to see the faces that you

540

Christine: Yeah.

541

Alexandra: your ears.

542

Christine: Exactly.

543

Alexandra: to see, get to hear

the voices attached to the

544

faces that you hear in your ear.

545

know if that made it any better.

546

Christine: Ah, it's okay.

547

We'll go with it.

548

Alexandra: I definitely think we'll be

releasing some definitely blooper reels

549

of funny moments where we've messed up.

550

things don't come out quite so polished.

551

Christine: No.

552

Me.

553

Thanks,

554

Alexandra: are so

grateful to have you back.

555

With us as we kick off this next chapter

and next season of the podcast, it's been

556

quite a journey, and we can't wait to

bring you along for everything we have

557

planned for this year, from revisiting

those big meaningful conversations

558

that we started last year, to sharing

more and being more vulnerable with you

559

all and even our European adventure.

560

So who's ready for that?

561

I know I am.

562

So next week, we'll be diving

into the idea of new year.

563

Same me, always a work in progress.

564

We'll chat about the pressure to

constantly reinvent yourself every

565

January and why embracing growth

at your own pace is probably more

566

rewarding and certainly enough.

567

like something you're interested in.

568

And how you've been feeling, join

us and we'll unpack it together

569

Until then, stay curious, stay

connected, and hey, don't be a stranger.

570

Let us know what resonated with you

today or what you'd love to hear next.

571

You can find us on social media, where

you know you'll definitely be seeing more

572

of us this year, or shoot us a message.

573

We'd love to hear from you.

574

And until next time, have a great week!

575
