On this, our final episode, we hear from a new listener who discovered Tiny Victories a mere week or two ago…and still called in with her Tiny Victories-related tiny victory. As Annabelle points out, the caller has 158 more episodes that she can enjoy.As podcasts go, this is but a tiny little show, and yet in the course of three years, it’s helped Annabelle and Laura and the Tiny Victories community feel connected as the world itself fell–and continues to fall–apart. But even as Tiny Victories wraps up, the tiny victories frame of mind will not. Join Annabelle and Laura in this final episode, as they react to listener calls and share their love for you, the Tiny Victories community. Also, keep in touch! The show’s going away, but Annabelle and Laura are online, reachable, and happy for you to share your victories with them.Things You Should Stop Worrying About This WeekHBO execs trolling the comments sections of the trade papers“AI” being selected as Collins Dictionary’s Word of the YearThis episode is sponsored by…Microdose GummiesMicrodose Gummies deliver perfect, entry-level doses of THC that help you feel just the right amount of good.
