This episode was recorded months ago, during a time when Quai was deeply present, excited, and in love with this podcast. Releasing it now is something we are doing in honour of her and in alignment with her wishes.

This is the first episode we are sharing since Quai’s passing, and it marks the beginning of finishing the season we filmed together. There are two more episodes that will be released in the coming weeks, completing what we started with so much care and intention.

In this New Year focused conversation, Ty and Quai reflect on endings, growth, and what it means to move forward without closing your heart. They talk about change, self-reflection, and the quiet shifts that happen when you begin to choose yourself more fully. It’s a conversation about reclaiming moments, setting intentions with honesty, and seeing one another clearly during a time of transition.

The episode closes with a deeply personal exchange, as Ty and Quai read heartfelt letters they wrote to one another and reflect on what they believe is possible moving forward.

This conversation captures Quai exactly as she was - thoughtful, honest, warm, and full of vision.

Thank you for holding this space with care.
