It's time for a quickie. Podcast One presents The Lady Gang, The Hollywood Girl Posse with Lady Gang Quickie. Here's Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Let's make this quick. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Lady Gang Quickie. I am Becca here with Jack and Kelty.

Hello, everyone. It is our favorite episode of the year, the manifest episode. every year on this date, I make us manifest our next year. And then halfway through the year, I check in. And when we checked in, we weren't doing great. So hopefully we have some good news, ladies. But in general, we really believe that the secret to manifesting, if this is a first time listening, what we want you to do is we want you to use each one of these manifesting categories. And then we want to think of your own thing. And we'll make a little social media post or

newsletter post that has like the categories. And then you got to write it down and then you got to put it somewhere where you see it every day. Mine is sitting right up here. I only have four highlights out of all 10 of my things that I got right. So it's not a great year for me, but you got to look at it every day and stay inspired. Stay on the course. Stay on the course. Okay. So we're going to start health and body or health and whatever. Becca, you promised us you were going to quit zenning. Well, I was, but then I found out all the benefits of nicotine. So going to be carrying this through 2026. That is that is actually taking care of your health. That's taking care of my health, my brain, my cognitive function, my immunity. You know,

there's some really good hidden gems in those little pouches. So. Jack, you're going to detox from your mold. Oh, my gosh. Mold, a distant memory. Your test confirmed very high mold. And then you're going to be on a good healthy kick post fibroid surgery and hive drama. I mean, who knows if I've detoxed or not, but the hives have, knock on wood, been at bay except for i have one patch on my arm that hasn't gone away that's just stays there um so i feel good about that and what was the other thing healthy kick yeah no no okay mine was to quit celsius she didn't yeah it's too hard it's too hard but i did quit coffee i quit coffee It's ridiculous.

Coffee is definitely way better for you. Did you ever order the healthy? I don't like it. I don't either. The Georgie. The Georgie. What about Bloom? Oh, I didn't try the Bloom.

I think I tried Bloom. I need to try a different flavor. Georgie did not make me like any. Georgie. No. Georgie didn't make me have the same anxiety that Celsius does. And I missed it. There's probably not as much caffeine.

Yeah, there's not. But only a little bit. Okay. What is your goal for health body for 2026? Mine is to stay in gratitude of the state that my body is currently in, because as we get older, it is only a matter of time, no matter how good we take care of ourselves, no matter, it's just age, it's inevitable. Things are going to start getting weaker, breaking, knock on wood, hopefully not.

But every time I'm active now, I actually am so conscientious of the fact that I will not always be able to move like this. And I'm really grateful that I can. So good. I think that that's a good thing for me to think about, too, because with all of my health anxiety, it's like you're you're doing good body. Like and I think, you know, it's so hard for me to not obsess about things. But that would be, I guess, a goal of mine. And then another goal of mine is just to figure out what's going on in my gut before I get pregnant. I would like to kind of be at a good base level.

And the same thing with my iron is kind of like getting up to a place where I feel good about growing another human inside of me. We might have a baby this year, God willing, or life willing. Well, it wouldn't be this year. It would be the next year. It might be, really. Just so you are aware, though, when you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, your progesterone is surging through your body, and that is what keeps you from pooping. So don't be alarmed, but you aren't going to poop even if your gut is in good shape. Nice. Well, I was literally thinking about that this morning because my pooping has been

like an all-time low, even though I've been taking a new medicine. I'm like, wow, it's gotten worse somehow. I'm like, how am I going to deal with being pregnant, like with all of the constipation of being pregnant. I probably have like a pregnant constipation on your day to day. Yeah, some, but we'll see. Okay, I hate to say and take this to like a sassy place when you guys are being so lovely.

My health body is, I'm gonna get an ass in 2026. I have decided I used to have a little bubble butt because I was doing so much ballet and dancing and for some reason in my Pilates, it's not a butt building exercise. I'm gonna follow some TikTokers and stuff and I'm gonna do the Khloe Kardashian like heavy lifting ass workout like once a week

and I'm gonna get a little bubble butt because sadly, I got so desperate to have a bubble butt that I bought a pair of the Skims Adabut Spanx. No, you didn't. Yeah. Oh my God, and? It was, honestly, they were too big. I need a starting from Sutton Strack.

Like I need a Sutton Strack as your baseline for like body shape and then building on that. Like unfortunately, the Kim butt was too big for me, but I'm gonna try more, but I'm gonna get a ass. I'm gonna get a butt. I want a butt that is not giving old lady, because I think the most useful, youthful thing you can do is have a butt. I want a little Addison Rae butt.

I don't think that's really possible. I think we should know our limits. Bodies by now. And body types. So get an ass that you're proud of for you, you know? No, I'm going to get an ass that I'm proud of. Good. Okay.

Okay. I hope. Okay. Okay. Jack, soul and self-care. You said, I'm going to continue to deepen my nightly self-care routine. Go to bed early, read for 30 minutes, keep up with your sauning and dry brushing, do small consistent things that make you feel less frazzled, and calm your nervous system. I think I've been, I mean, I definitely have been reading before bed. And my nighttime routine has minimized, which I feel like is a good thing for me with my craziness. And I've been sonning.

I feel like I've done it. Yeah, check. Good job. I mean, I'm still frazzled, but you know, that's just life. It's just me. It's just me being me. Becca, you said use the activations app and do more of the short audio pep talks, joy activations that actually shift your mood and anxiety. I do call on the activations app a lot. It does help, you know, just the shift in the mindset. But I do think that I have to kick it up a notch for next year and I need to tap into a more spiritual practice. I think that I used to be a lot more spiritual. And I think over the years, I've sort of like let that go a little bit because, you know, you're really only called upon to be spiritual when like life really shit hits the fan, you know? So when thing is status quo, it's very easy to like not. so it's just like reading the right books again and like following the right people on instagram

that sort of do whatever that thing is like inspire you to be less i don't know lizard brain yeah oh i love that um my sole purpose last year was to find and join like a board of and to be of service and i was thinking about like something in mental health or something like that and i gotta to be honest, I shit the bed. I had maybe the worst mental health that I've had in my entire life last year. So I couldn't join a board and be of service. I had to service myself. And so I'm your oxygen mask on, you know, I had to put that oxygen mask on Keltishka night. So I move I'm saving this. I'm doing this for 2026. I have decided that I'm going to I mean, I did do some giving back. I mean, I was being paid for it from Marshalls. They have this like

amazing you know um program and I was mentoring people and stuff but like obviously that's a job so it doesn't count um I'm gonna do this in 2026 do you guys have a sole project do you have a sole purpose because Becca said hers for 2026 yeah I mean I think that I'm I'm like so scrappy and savvy sometimes that I like want to turn everything into like a business somehow and I've kind of done that with my art and I'm so excited too because it makes me so excited to be like doing something that I love and being able to like be compensated for it. But I do want to be able to tap into art in a way that just fulfills me period. Cause that, cause my mail club has taken up so much of my time that I'm like, I just want to paint and just like, and that's it for like no reason and not to sell

it and just to do it for myself. So I think just kind of being able to separate that and having, cause it's art is such therapy for me. Like I truly feel like I'm in flow state and I'm like in the zone and it's like really feeding my soul. So to be able to be able to do that and take time for just that, I think is a goal for me. I love this. Okay. Career. Becca, you told us last year that you were going to not just drink your own Kool-Aid, you were going to make other people drink your Kool-Aid. I think this is old. I think that's old too. I think that what happened is you made us do like a mid-year. Yeah, we did. We talked about a mid-year. We did a check-in. this year?

See, I I didn't and I feel great. Yeah. I feel great for you. I have, when I tell you like, whatever like the boner level it is for

a career in Hollywood, like, I'm flaccid. Like, I just don't think, I've turned down 9 out of 10 of the auditions that have come across my desk this year. so that's where i'm at but it but it feels good right it feels amazing i i feel nervous about like what are you gonna do with your one and fabulous life you're good no you can do other things other than being an actor well i also feel that when you are able to close a door

then another one really does have the opportunity to show itself some opportunity something opening and I I'll never forget like my dad told me in my teens or 20s because I was like I'm gonna be on Broadway like this is it that's the career I want that's what I want to do and he's like you can do that and you're gonna do that but just so you know you're gonna have a ton of different careers in your lifetime and I was like how is that even possible in my mind I was like first of all I have no other skill set so like how what other career could I dip my toe into so he was right. And I don't know what's coming. And I, it may be nothing at all. And that sounds cool too. Sounds better actually. The Lady Gang. Okay. For my career, I said I was going to sell a solo

book. I did. Yay. That's one of the things I got to cross off. I'm so excited. The cover shall be revealed and go on sale in February. So I am so excited. That's so soon. I know. I'm really excited about it. Um, I'm all, um, I have until January 6th to turn it in. So we're still working on that, but, um, okay. I also wanted to be a guest in a holiday movie. Now I wanted to be like the coffee shop girl or the sister aunt, and I did not get a holiday movie. Um, and then I got filled with extreme jealousy when I saw another one of my entertainment news non-actor friends get a full holiday movie as the starring lead role. So I also, I know these two things can't exist at the same time because I've made a book, The Femme Theory. I'm not meant for Hallmark or

Lifetime Christmas movies. I am meant to shit up with my crazy ass brain and I have to let go of that dream. And I'm okay with that because another one of my dreams, which is strange that it was in this section, was to take a pottery wheel class. And I did that in Ibiza out of the blue. Marcella was like, oh, we're doing pottery today. And I got to do the wheel and make the cup. The saddest part about it is that my cup was not dry when I had to leave and she was and I painted it bright yellow and she was like that's fine I'll send it to you like I'll take everything back and then send it to you from New York but like am I gonna bother her to be like can you send me my cup it actually means so much to me but I'm like I can't be like where's my cup next time you're in New

York yeah I don't I think she probably threw it the garbage let's be honest yeah it's been a while yeah okay Jack career you said have a Jack Vanek tent at warp tour oh no you didn't do it No, it was too expensive. They like charged like 10 times the amount that they did when I was on it back in the day. I know everything is inflated, but it was just it was pretty insane. I was like, no. And we had Lady World wasn't on my radar. Right.

And you also said write a thriller true crime style book with Alexis loosely about two podcasters getting intertwined in intertwined in something spooky and supernatural. Yeah. So that's going to be my biggest goal for next year is to sell. So we're like done with our pitch, but the pitch is like 50 pages long. So it's like a very extended like. And then so my biggest goal is to sell the pitch, get a book deal. And the way that we have written the book is to option it for a TV show. So that's like my biggest, biggest goal. So. Whoa. Yeah. And then Becca can make her return to acting. And when she turns down the audition,

And Kelty Knight, holiday non-star, can take the audition. Perfect. Exactly. That's honestly amazing. My, okay, do you have a career goal, Becca, for the next year? No. Do you want to leave that off? No, thank you.

Yep, pause. No, thank you. My career goal is a, oh man, I, okay, I want to do a TED Talk. that's my career goal I want to do a TED talk around this book and it's very actually harder than you think to get a TED talk and like a TEDx or whatever no like a TEDx yeah I'll do a TEDx um but you have to like get a coach and it's really hard because you're not allowed to promote yourself at all on your TED talk like you can't say like I'm and I'm selling this like you have to anyway I want to get a TED talk I think it would be an amazing thing to do and I have some

good ideas. So that's going to be my career goal. And interestingly enough, I'm just going to say this out loud and we can replay it when I'm crying on the floor because I don't make the New York Times bestseller list with this book. You know, now that I'm with a publisher, they're always like, well, does that count for the Times? Does that count for the Times? Like there is like all this pressure. And I will say I do not, I would love for this book to be a bestseller, but I truly, my goal in my soul of souls is I want as many people to read the book as possible and do the worksheets and like do the work because I actually think it will really help people in all areas of their life. Like I was doing a talk at Marshall's and I was having girls like, look, like introduce

yourself to me at a party. And like, these girls couldn't do it. I was like, what do you do? And she's like, I'm an artist. And I was like, okay, well, what kind of art do you make? And she's like, well, I'm in this indigenous woman and I make this art. And I was like, well, has anything ever happened to your art? Have you had a show? Have you whatever? And she's like, well, I had one thing happen. I was like, what was it? She goes, I designed all of the art for the Super Bowl in Phoenix. And I was like, oh. And I was like, did you get any press from that? She's like, yeah, I was featured in Forbes, the New York Times, Vogue. And I was like, so your Instagram bio says like nothing about this and I was like you you know like there's just like lessons and

only I the evil genius who like drinks her own like kool-aid to a tea can she may never walk in a room and be like I was featured in Vogue but just going in with that vibe is like a different vibe and I think that that is what this is all about and I'm really excited to share it with people and so I don't care it's not for me it's for them you know which is like that's coaching Who am I? That it's not for me. Let's be honest. You are going, I believe you with every ounce of my soul that you do want this to, and you're

doing this to help a lot of people. I do know that because you've been a success coach freelance for a very long time. But I also know that once your book is on sale, the shit is going to hit the fan and things are going to go really off kilter when we're trying to get you that New York Times bestseller. And that's okay. I'm going to cry. Yeah, sure.

Well, no, I think like the lead up to it, we're going to be working very hard and we're going to be we're going to be on a mission. And that's OK, too. You can hold two truths and two identities. Right. Yeah, you can. You can have it both. You don't have to be extreme. Ambition is not embarrassing.

Yeah. I love it. You can use that. Thank you so much. Because I don't need it because I don't want a career. okay most importantly um relationships we did not answer this last year what we wanted our relationship i think we were all just kind of like flying happy doing our lives do you have a relationship goal for the year and we have a separate friends category so this is your lover

relationship i mean i think it's always just to be a little more connected than we were the year before. But that's much easier said than done. And you have to actually make plans to do that, I think. And I guess that's where I have to start. I'll let you know. It's just so hard when you have such a crazy, and everybody's going to understand this, I think. Like when you have so many things in your life, like as you get older, your life just gets like more complicated and career and friends and, you know, sometimes family and extended family and all the things like you really do fill up those cups before we do it with your spouse, because your spouse is such a like, quote, sure thing, even though it's not.

That's an illusion. It's not. It's it's like sometimes it's such a curse to be with somebody that makes me feel so comfortable and safe. Yeah, because I'm like, well, that's already that plant's already watered. Like we've we're it's fine. that plant won't die. It's a succulent. Like we'll come back to it. But that is such bullshit. And well, it's like it's like when Chelsea Handler was saying about how you have to like

or like when she was talking about being engaged over and over and over again every year. And it's like you have to keep auditioning for the role. And it's like you don't have to do that in a marriage situation. Yeah. Especially when you like share a child in like a house and like all the things you're like, well, I mean, it's going to be way too hard for us to quit on this. So like, let's just keep it moving yeah that's a great manifest keep auditioning um mine is just i mean obviously we're going to try to start a family next year and just to it's just for me it's like the one obstacle is jared being gone and being on tour and like i really they have an album coming out uh next year and like i really it's amazing and like i want it to be the album that like

catapults them into like the next level. But then with that obviously comes more travel and more this and this and that. So it's just like finding a balance that like works in the next phase of our life. Cause now I can just go visit him no matter what, but it's like adding a baby into that. It's like, that's, you can't do that anymore to that extent. So I guess kind of just like finding that like balance and peace in that version of our lives. You can do it. You'll be able to do it because your mom can travel with you. So you can like bring a baby and do your thing. Yeah. I also think that like when you have your baby, whenever, like if you decide to breastfeed or like whatever happens, like you're going to be the kind of person that like your mom

and dad can jump in and like nanny for you and you can go for two days. Like it's going to be, although I think it's harder like Becca was like do you remember when you had Ford and you're like I'm gonna go and then you kind of when he started I think he was around three years old it started to be harder for you because he likes so much more living yeah but when he when you have baby baby you can just buy well I don't know I mean I think it's different I think it's yes and you should try to get yourself to do it and this is me talking like out of my ass because I don't know what it's like to carry a baby give birth to a baby and breastfeed a baby I think it is a lot harder to have that separation but I will say that my friends who have done it and who did rip

off the band-aid sooner than they really felt the most comfortable it's sort of this weird thing that you take all the way throughout your like your early years of parenting where the longer you stick around and the more you push off that time the harder it does get to be because they become like an appendage i mean they rightfully so but it is going on the lady gang tour when ford was like four months old was obviously very challenging and i probably would have done it differently in hindsight but it also did give me like oh i'm not the only person who can keep this kid alive like i can do this thing it's going to be fine and whatever but it's to each his own to each his own yeah i get that um my relationship will come as no surprise to anyone

I'm going to, you know, put my marriage back together. We'll put it back together. And I say this not from a place of where I think we would ever leave each other. Like we, I will never leave Chris Knight unless, of course, Adam Sandler wants to marry me. Right. Like I, this is my person and I know that. But I don't, I don't think I've been married this year. Like I don't think I've had a partner.

Like, I think we have lived completely separate lives, completely different existences. We have popped into each other's lives for emotional support days. But like, I think if I sat down and I was like, tell me about your year and what you watched and what you read and what you thought and what you ate and like what, like we did not exist even in the same realm. like we did not experience this year as a couple we experienced it as two solo travelers who live in the same house but we don't even live in this i mean he wasn't here so right um i'm proud of him i'm proud of what he created and i'm i've been that person i was also on the road like when i was at et i was gone a lot um but i think it's more of like a connection thing like we also just got really lazy so it's been like even when he is home he's like recovering from being gone for three weeks you know he just wants to like sit and stare at the ceiling which i get um but i don't think we have walked talked

had a moment that was like like i remember being at marcella's party in new york and chris flew in to like meet me and i looked across the table at him and i was like i don't think i've looked in your eyeballs like in a real way for a long time like you said becca it's like it happens it's a beautiful thing to be um like in this comfort because you're like i can take advantage of this but i think actually the worst part about me is that i had a really bad year mentally and i let every demon that i've ever had uh eat kind of eat me alive and i didn't share it with him yeah so i didn't let him know how i was doing and i just dug deeper deeper deeper deeper and um he's the one person that can be like, yo, you got to like, you know, get to go on this. So I think I struggled

in my own way because I didn't let him come along on my journey. Anyway, long story short. Marriage 2026. She's fixing it. I'm going to be a real couple. We're going to hold hands and exist on the same plane. We can do it. On that note. This is normal. Leaving such a high. I do think that what somebody, I was talking to someone about marriage recently and they were saying that the key to happy marriage, someone, someone really smart said this was the key to staying together is that you both don't want to leave at the same time. So like, as long as one person is sticking it out for the other, like, it's just, you're fucked when both people kind of put their hands in the air and they're done. so you're like acknowledging that you don't want to be done not that you're saying you're going to be divorced that's like so dramatic but like you you probably would end up splitting up if you continue to go on this path so you're the person right now that's like jumping in and saying it's

time to right the ship at this moment yeah 100 percent um and i love that so i'm excited about that it's gonna be a big wonderful year and we are going to continue this discussion because There's so many more categories on Tuesday. But we love you guys. Happy New Year. Happy 2026. Let us, in all of our 10 years, let this be the best year that we've ever had at Lady Gang

and wishing you all a happy new year. And this is like new beginnings. And it's okay if you give up your stuff on the 21st because usually people keep a New Year's resolution for 21 days. But we're going to be your friend no matter what. But we're going to try to have a great year this year. Do the best you can.

This is not the most inspiring episode, but. That's okay. You know yourself where you are. That was our thing, right? Oh, yeah. We made up a mantra for this year. Meet yourself where you are. And here's where we're at, guys.

Here's where we're at. We love you, Lady Gang. Barely holding it together. We do love you. And we will. Weren't here for a long time, but we were here for. A good time. Happy 2026.
