There's nothing worse than a person who isn't socially aware. You know the type: they use the treadmill next to you even when others are free, at the airport, they stand way too close to the baggage carousel,  and they don't use their blinker when driving.While we might be part of the problem (guilty of the very social faux pas we discuss in today's episode) we haven't got time for self-reflection – there's an event to plan and merch that might not be enough for everyone. Today's ep...

Everyday Etiquette

Life is messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, happy, and everything in between. It’s those moments that help shape us, give us insight into who we are at our core, and hopefully help craft relationships that will last a lifetime. Events like loss, birth, marriage, graduation and so many more are like road markers along our personal paths, and things don’t always (for better or worse) go as planned. But it’s the story and the results that define who we are - and it’s those life-changing stories that will be coming to you this January with Jaj, who recently found herself a widow with 2 young kids, and Rylee, a budding entrepreneur whose big dreams and even bigger drive are being juggled with the adventure of being a newlywed. Their stories aren’t perfect, but that’s not what we’re here for. We’re learning as we go and hopefully, coming out better than we began. Listen to “Good As New” an imperfectly perfect podcast sharing the moments that break us and build us stronger.

For this week's episode, we asked you guys to ask us anything and we answered! We check in with Jaj, talk about how we make money, and update you on the marital status of our parents. We really did answer everything.

Ask Us Anything

Pearl Harbor was a really big day in America…not to be confused with the Boston Tea Party. But Jaj didn’t know that. We’ve all been there, right? That moment where you speak an internal thought out loud and you instantly know it’s not your finest moment. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Heck, we didn’t even know that Cincinnati wasn’t a state. So listen in as we share the dummest things you’ve ever said.

The Dummest Thing I’ve Ever Said

Baths are better than showers, biker shorts are OVER, and we didn't initially like Taylor Swift's new song with Post Malone.  But these are just our hot takes. We asked you to share yours and they are piping hot takes! You submitted some harsh realities. Fire came and the earth was scorched leaving no one safe.

Hot Takes

We live in a world that has so many incredibly good things, sweet drinks, cute clothes, and way too many other things that seriously tests our self control. So what if we had a little allergy? Not death-inducing, nothing requiring an epipen. A low-level allergy that would deter us from getting too much of a good thing. If we lived in a movie, it could even be a very manly, omnipotent voice that would stop us in our tracks as we reached for one more cookie or tells us to go to bed when we’re s...

If Only I Were Allergic

In 13 Going on 30, 13-year-old Jenna Rink is an awkward girl whose only desire is to be “thirty, flirty and thriving.” She magically gets her wish granted, waking up in 2004 at the age of 30 and not remembering anything that has transpired over the course of the last 17 years. Jaj celebrated her 30th birthday this week and while there was no time warp to get there, she did reflect on what she hoped for in her 30s. We also asked all of you what you hoped for in your 30s and it was lovely to he...
