These Are Good Days ·

2026/02/25

In this episode, we’re tackling the boredom blues by asking if having nothing to do is actually a secret weapon. We’ve all heard that "only boring people get bored," but we’re digging into whether there’s a deeper gift hidden in the quiet. We dive into what’s really happening in our brains when we hit a slump and why we think "peace" might not actually be the ultimate finish line. We’ll show you how we trade the doomscroll for a real sense of purpose that reaches beyond ourselves. It’s time to stop

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

2026/01/14

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.

2026/01/07

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

2025/11/19

We often tie celebration to big achievements, but what if it's really about the simple, intentional act of acknowledgment? We get honest about that sneaky little voice of jealousy that sometimes makes us withhold a high-five, and discuss why practicing celebration anyway—even when it’s uncomfortable—is important. Celebration is contagious. It’s intentional time set aside for honing in on someone—who they are or what they’ve accomplished—and it promotes a kind of magnetic joy. THE SHOW NOTES!In our
