This episode was recorded at one of our live events! Our second most requested topic behind family relationships is adult friendships. In this episode we are talking about friendships that weather the seasons of life, the benefits of friendships, and how important adult friendships are - especially as we continue to age.

THE SHOW NOTES

Live Event Information: Our live events are incredibly fun! We typically have a podcast recording with charcuterie, door prizes, and frothy coffee! Also, we love taking our podcast family around to the special places in Amish Country that we love. Here's a sample of our itinerary - we'd love to see you at a future event!

Here's the Pit Detox from MegaBabe Lee Ann mentioned!

The friendship cadence we messaged was text 1x a week, call 1x a month, and get together in person 1x a quarter.

We often tie celebration to big achievements, but what if it's really about the simple, intentional act of acknowledgment? We get honest about that sneaky little voice of jealousy that sometimes makes us withhold a high-five, and discuss why practicing celebration anyway—even when it’s uncomfortable—is important. Celebration is contagious. It’s intentional time set aside for honing in on someone—who they are or what they’ve accomplished—and it promotes a kind of magnetic joy.

THE SHOW NOTES!

In our Good Days we mentioned going to Oakland Nurseries and Oakland Home - both incredible stores in Dublin, OH on the west side of Columbus. You can follow them on Instagram by clicking their names!

During the holiday season we are going to be exploring some of the gifts of life. Whether it's gifts we give, or gifts we receive, there are so many unexpected or uncommon gifts in life. In this episode we are diving into the gift of attention. Looking someone in the eye, having a conversation, and turning your full attention to them is such a gift - it communicates value, and imparts confidence. Join us in this conversation all about The Gift of Attention.

If you've been around These Are Good Days for any length of time you know that we are pro counseling and pro mental health. We truly talk about it frequently - not because we are experts, but because it's helped us both! In this episode we talk specifics about how counseling has helped us - and our hope is that it would encourage you to find someone as well! Lee Ann often says, counseling has saved my life and this conversation may just give you the nudge you need to make that appointment.

Let's be real—life is way too short and too heavy to be serious all the time! We're talking about embracing whimsy: that perfect mix of taking your job and life seriously, but definitely not taking yourself seriously. We'll chat about simple ways to lighten up, like genuinely playing with your family or finally making time for that weird little hobby you love. Whimsy isn't just a mood; it’s a hack! It keeps your brain sharp, puts some distance between you and your problems, and helps you connect with people on a deeper, better level. Time to chill out, laugh more, and remember that being a little silly is a sign of a life well-lived.

Our words have the power to speak life or death - not only to others, but to ourselves. We've all been there - the mantras of self doubt and the cycle of shamed thinking. But, what happens when we break those patterns for ourselves, and how does that impact our relationship with others? Where do our words come from anyways? Join us in this conversation all about the life or death that comes through our words.
