Episode Title: S1:E2 Let Your Pile of Good Things Grow

Podcast: The Well: Pep Talks & Reflections

Host: Elle Woodworth, RD

Episode Description If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “fixing everything” at once—this episode is for you.

Today’s reflection centers on a simple but powerful idea from Rainbow Rowell: “What if instead of thinking about solving your whole life you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.”

In this episode, we explore how small, positive choices—one at a time—can accumulate into meaningful change. You don’t need perfection or massive overhauls. You just need consistency, curiosity, and a willingness to celebrate small wins.
