These Are Good Days ·

2026/04/08

We are diving into the recent Cracker Barrel controversy and how perspective shifted after talking to a server on the front lines. It was a powerful reminder that we rarely see the full picture at face value, and there is almost always more to the story than a headline suggests. We challenge the habit of instant judgment, asking how our world might change if we led with grace instead of assumptions. What if we admitted we don’t know the whole truth? By holding space for the unknown, we can

2026/03/25

This week on These Are Good Days, Lee Ann and Matt are diving into why we’re so obsessed with getting it "right" at the expense of being real. We often treat perfectionism like a suit of armor to dodge criticism or keep anxiety at bay, but in reality, it just shields us from the actual connection and vulnerability we’re wired for.

There are things in life that make us feel rich - and MOST of them have nothing to do with money at all. Sometimes it's a sunny day or a ride in the car with the windows down.

No matter what, there are moments in life that make us pause and realize how much we truly have. Join us in another episode about what's making us feel rich!

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.

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
