<p>Pull up a chair and pour a cup—it's time for a long-awaited catch-up. As 2025 draws to a close, Aidan in Vienna and Stephen in Carrownamaddy finally steal a moment to wrap up the year over coffee (watermelon-infused, of course).</p><p>In this soulful review, they hold a mirror to their hopes from last January. They talk about the goals they nailed—like Stephen's unforgettable festival-wedding and Aidan's dedication to learning German—and the ones that got away (we're looking at you, dental floss). More than a simple review, this is a raw and moving conversation about the hard trade-offs of a big year, the complex pull of home, and how to find your rhythm again when life throws you off pace. </p><p>With some big news at the end of this episdoe it's the perfect companion for your own year-end reflection. Settle in, and let's brew.</p><br><p>If you would like to support the podcast, please <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/soulbrewpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy us a Coffee</a>, share the episode on social media or drop us a message to purchase one of our Coffee Tumblrs.</p><br><p><em>Instagram</em>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/soulbrewpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soulbrewpodcast</a></p><p><em>Facebook: </em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/soulbrewpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soulbrewpodcast</a></p><p><em>Tik Tok: </em><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@soulbrewpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soulbrewpodcast</a></p><p><em>X/ Twitter: </em><a href="https://twitter.com/SoulBrewPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soulrewpodcast</a></p><p><em>Email: </em><a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
