This episode of the show is truly reflective, practical, and deeply personal, and it is my hope that, as you listen, you’ll start noticing your own yeses - the ones that quietly changed your year, even if no one else saw them hap…","meta_description":"Join Jesse and I this week as I unpack 25 things that I said yes to this year that I am really glad that I did because they have genuinely changed and imp…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2620,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/crystal-paine-show-893314/episodes/328-25-things-i-m-so-glad-i-said-yes-to-in-2025/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crystal-paine-show-893314/328-25-things-i-m-so-glad-i-said-yes-to-in-2025.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
