Welcome to Episode 4 of Evergreen Echoes! With Nicole out sick (don’t worry, she’s quarantining like a pro), Sydney and Michael hold down the fort for a jam-packed episode featuring an fun interview with the amazing Mya Wiley, glitter-filled gowns, gymnastics tales, and some questionable trending gift ideas.

Sydney spills the tea on her upcoming gymnastics mock meet (spoiler: parents are scarier than judges), dishes on juggling international pageants, and reflects on fainting spells at competitions. Plus, listen in on an unmissable interview with Mya Wiley, a freshman at Cal Berkeley on the Women's Gymnastics team and Sydney’s friend/role model, where they talk stubbornness, scooter crashes, and the awkward beauty of finding joy in hard times.

Stay tuned for holiday survival tips, a thumbs-up/thumbs-down gift review, and Sydney’s “chef’s kiss” advice to survive winter break without becoming a sleep-deprived zombie. It’s festive, funny, and just chaotic enough to keep you entertained. Grab a candy cane and hit play! 🎄✨
