    173: JOMO

    Forget the frantic itch of FOMO—we’re officially entering our JOMO era and learning to love the sweet, sweet sound of saying "no." In this episode, we’re deconstructing those polished social media highlight reels so you can stop comparing your everyday "behind-the-scenes" to someone else’s curated best. We’ll teach you how to "play out the tape" and see through the social pressure to start prioritizing your own peace of mind. Imagine a life so aligned with your values that staying in with a book feels like winning the lottery instead of missing out. Join us as we celebrate the absolute magic of being exactly where you want to be! THE SHOW NOTES! Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

    168: Permission to rest

    We’re deconstructing the myth that rest is a reward we have to earn. We often get caught in the trap of "productivity guilt," but we’re here to remind ourselves (and you!) that rest is actually a fundamental requirement for a healthy life. We’re diving into the seven different types of rest and exploring how to move away from mindless "numbing" like doom-scrolling toward actual restorative practices. Whether it’s through active movement or passive stillness, we discuss how to pause without the guilt and truly recharge our batteries. Join us as we learn how to prioritize the deep, essential rest we all deserve. *For detailed notes on The 7 Types of Rest, check out our Patreon! The Show Notes!

    167: Intentions

    In this episode of These Are Good Days, we’re skipping the 2026 resolutions and leaning into our favorite role as "hopes and dreams setters" instead. We’ve never been big on resolutions because the "failure" of breaking them is a total downer, so we’re focusing on self-improvement and the steps that lead to a brighter year. This time around, we’re dreaming about saying "yes" to more opportunities, traveling to new places, and making space for new friendships. We’re also talking about the importance of slowing down to soak up quality time with our families. Join us as we trade rigid goals for a year of growth and intentionality—it's going to be a good one.
