It’s day one of 2026, and Evonne is keeping it real. Coffee in hand, dogs causing chaos, and a candid recap of a year that felt heavy for a lot of people.


Evonne and Don Varady, co-founders of Clean Eatz, talk through what made 2025 so challenging, what they had to drop, and why letting go of certain things was necessary to grow. They also share what they want to do differently in 2026, including getting back to the basics, holding themselves and their team more accountable, and protecting their boundaries so stress does not run the show.


This episode is part reflection, part reset, and a reminder that a tough year does not get the final word. Tune in to learn more.
