Jon celebrates a long awaited milestone: new pants. Unfortunately, they’re loud enough to ruin any chance of sneaking through the house, and somehow spark a full blown color theory debate that turns into relationship counseling for your living room decor. Meanwhile, Becca’s dealing with a brutal tailbone injury that has her sidelined from running and learning way more about “pressure relief” than anyone asked for.
From there, the chaos gets productive. We hit listener questions, including the most important one of all: favorite soup. Then we talk Nashville’s snow forecast, why local weather can’t commit to anything, and whether it’s better to be stuck in a winter wonderland or stuck with an ice storm and no power.
The big conversation, though, is about what happens when you stop chasing race calendars and start chasing the “boring work” that actually changes your life. We dig into social media, buckles, dopamine, authenticity, and why the quiet consistency matters more than the highlight reel.
We wrap with a Mid-State Mile question about who’s showing up this year, plus a reminder that Mid-State isn’t about one name, it’s about the whole community and the magic that happens out there every single year.
