<p>Stacey and Patrice give a look back at 2025 on the show, emphasizing&nbsp;gratitude&nbsp;and the immense power of&nbsp;micro spaces&nbsp;for creating lasting change (inspired by guest Susan Sturm). The ladies reflect on critical challenges, including navigating&nbsp;disinformation&nbsp;in areas like&nbsp;maternal health&nbsp;and discussing the impact of recent&nbsp;funding shifts&nbsp;on research. Also, the ladies share exciting details about their&nbsp;upcoming book, designed specifically for&nbsp;educational leaders&nbsp;and&nbsp;small business owners, and introduce their plans for new guests who align with the book’s themes.
