The NEW Year is Here and We’re Cracked Open — For Good 🪩🩷🐣

Quick note — this newsletter is stocked with a clickable CouplesTherapy.co January recap, some pics of me in New York City, and for a little extra newsletter fun: a COMIC, a CROSSWORD, and a CHERRYSCOPE for the month ahead. Enjoy!

Dearest Family — The Vine,

The shiny NEW Ball dropped on New Year’s Eve in NEW York City — with nearly a billion eyes gazing. This big ball of energy was branded as symbolizing Eternal Positivity, Infinite Light, Joy, and Beginnings — and it did. WE made it. We were THERE, in TIMES SQUARE! We arrived by horse and carriage (the horse being a big man dressed like Santa pulling me in a souped-up basket on his bicycle) — we danced among sparkling Waterford crystals and moved in sync with a big-city sea of one million.

Me — your faithful representative — and the Ball vibed high, and we caught the GLOW UP for sure. Here’s what I saw: that big, bright Ball — the Constellation Ball — dropped. And when it did, WE — CouplesTherapy.co — Cracked Open — for good.

That’s what January — and this entire year — is really about, with special monthly iterations along the way.

Cherryscope — February 2026 ✨🪩🍒

Some people see Valentine’s Day as cheesy — not me!
For me, February is the month of LOVE, and yes… it’s my favorite holiday. (I know, I say that every holiday — but still!)

This February, our theme is:

HORSE AND CARRIAGE 🎠❤️

We’re keeping history at the forefront and process at the center — so get ready.

February is going to be FUN. And quite interesting and informative!
