## Resource

In this episode, Miss Brightside encourages listeners to spend less on “stuff” and more on making memories . She shares funny stories about resisting materialism — from living with painted floorboards instead of buying stair carpet, to accidentally painting her stairs a random colour She explains her adult reward chart, where she gives herself one “gold sticker” a month by doing something joyful She reminds listeners that we rarely remember old gifts, but we do remember the people and the laughter — like her favourite Christmas memory with her nan, where everyone wore tea towels on their heads and laughed until they cried. Her message is simple: Choose experiences over things. Make memories, big or small. Fill your year with joy. She invites listeners to share their own favourite memories on Instagram and ends with encouragement to get out, do something that makes your heart happy, and celebrate making it through January.
