In this special year-end episode of Everyday Ancestral, I sit down with Margaret Floyd Barry, my wife and a brilliant practitioner and thought leader in functional health. Together, we reflect on an eventful year of monumental highs and deep challenges—from relocating across the country and Margaret's triumphant 50-mile run to navigating a melanoma diagnosis and the loss of loved ones.

We also share our visions for 2025, including new personal goals, exciting business milestones, and a commitment to gratitude and intentionality. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of growth, resilience, and embracing the unknown.
