What if the good old days aren’t behind us at all—but unfolding in front of us, easy to miss because we’re scrolling, planning, or rushing to the next thing? We open with laughter and a live-show announcement, then settle into a conversation that digs beneath nostalgia to ask what we’re really craving from our memories: freedom, warmth, and the sense that we were fully there. From storm-hammock nights and muddy garden laughs to the chaos of small kids under one roof, we unpack why those moments matter and how we can feel more of that right now.

Together we examine the tug-of-war between presence and distraction. “Be where your feet are” becomes more than a quote—it’s a practice. We trade practical ways to anchor in the moment: five minutes of silence in the car, turning off the radio, listing gratitudes out loud, and setting tiny, repeatable rituals that make connection a habit. We press on a tough pattern too—why we wait until relationships are strained before we tend them—and offer small maintenance moves that keep joy from leaking out: a monthly lunch with old teammates, a weekly walk with your partner, and protecting time for the hobby that fills you.

There’s room for firsts, even years into a relationship; our first gym workout together in fourteen years turns into a story about trying, laughing, and noticing. That’s the bigger takeaway: the feelings you miss aren’t locked in the past. They’re produced by attention, gratitude, and choices you can make today. If you’ve felt stuck in the next-thing chase, this conversation gives you simple steps to slow down, look around, and build new good days on purpose.
