In 2025, we made one decision that changed everything. This is our real end-of-year reflection , not the highlight reel, not the “everything worked out perfectly” version. At the start of the year, Ashley quit her full-time job without a backup plan, while we were already building Mouse Vibes behind the scenes. What followed was a year full of risk, doubt, growth, stress, surprise wins, and moments we truly didn’t expect. In this video, we walk through how 2025 actually went: • Leaving a stable job and navigating uncertainty• Building Mouse Vibes more intentionally for the first time• The goals we didn’t hit (YouTube + Patreon)• Why we shifted some focus to short-form content• Videos we thought would pop — and totally didn’t• The flops that shocked us the most• Our biggest surprises, proudest moments, and most awkward memories We also reflect on some of the biggest moments of the year, including: -Epic Universe media preview day & grand opening-Disneyland’s 70th anniversary-Niagara Falls-Zootopia 2 And the unexpected experiences that reminded us why we started creating in the first place!!! This video is about taking a risk when you’re scared, letting go of routine, and learning that growth doesn’t always look the way you expect. It’s about being honest, imperfect, and figuring things out in real time, as creators, partners, and humans.  As we head into 2026, we’re setting new goals, building more structure, and continuing to grow Mouse Vibes with intention. Thank you for being here, supporting us, and making this year possible. ************************* ✌🏼SUBSCRIBE to the channel!
