October 05 What If It's Fine?
Have you ever spent DAYS dreading something… only to get to the other side and think, Wait. That was it?
After turning a routine dentist appointment into a full-blown psychological thriller in my head, I was reminded how much time we can spend living through things before they even happen.
On today’s walk, we’re talking about the appointments, conversations, plans, and little things sitting on our calendars taking up way more space than they deserve — and one simple question I’m trying to remember when my brain starts predicting disaster:
What if it’s fine?
Grab your shoes. Let’s walk.

October 02 Feel Good in 5: Let Nature Bring You Back
Welcome to the first Feel Good in 5 — a quick little reset with one simple idea to help you feel a little better and carry something good into your day.
Sometimes you don’t need to figure everything out. You just need to step outside.
In this episode, we’re talking about the way nature can quiet a busy mind, shift your perspective, and bring you back to the present moment. Whether it’s the ocean, the woods, your backyard, or just a patch of sunlight, sometimes being outside is enough to remind you that life is still happening all around you.
Take a few minutes, get outside if you can, and let nature bring you back.

September 28 Most of My Life Is Tuesday
Most of life isn’t vacation, celebrations, or the big things we put on the calendar.
Most of life is Tuesday.
In this feel-good walking podcast episode, we’re talking about finding more joy in everyday life, making ordinary routines more enjoyable, and creating healthy habits that actually feel like you.
For me, that looks like after-dinner wine walks, a very specific neighborhood route, and apparently needing to come to a complete stop every time I take a sip.
Come walk with me and think about one ordinary part of your day that could use a little more you in it.

September 21 What Else Don’t I Know I Like?
One random Lainey Wilson documentary turned me into a full-blown country music person at 52.
And it got me wondering: What else don’t I know I like?
Today we’re talking about the things we decide “aren’t for us,” how much we can still surprise ourselves, and why staying a little curious might lead us straight to something that makes life a whole lot more fun.
Come walk with me.

September 14 I Think We’re Making Happiness Way Too Complicated
What if feeling good is actually a lot simpler than we make it?
In the first official episode of Feel Good Walks, we’re talking about happiness, overthinking, the little things that make life better, and why we don’t have to wait for something big to happen before we let ourselves enjoy our lives.
This is about noticing what feels good, giving your brain more good things to think about, and getting ridiculously excited about the small stuff again.
Because maybe happiness isn’t something we have to chase.
Maybe we just need to notice more of it.
