In the In-Between: Loss, Listening, and Looking Ahead
And now, a word from our host. In this short episode of the Kudzu Project, host Nick Lucey reflects on the quiet, unsettling space between Christmas and the New Year — the pause before everything resumes moving again. As 2026 rapidly approaches, we look back on a year marked by loss, growth, and unexpected momentum. This episode explores why meaningful change rarely begins on a date on the calendar, but grows from moments of listening, introspection, and inner resolve. It’s been a fun, strange trip on the Kudzu Project podcast in 2025, and we look forward to whatever — and whomever — 2026 brings. Thanks for listening.
