2w ago00:49:26Tap to summarizeThis episode was recorded before a live audience at our most recent podcast event, hosted by Walnut Creek Foods and Walnut Creek Cheese and Market. Do you ever wonder why we’re all constantly asking ourselves if we did "good enough?" In this episode, we tackle the exhausting drive to seek validation and why we let other people control our happiness. Lee Ann shares about competing on Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games, while Matt gets real about the quiet pressure of wondering if you're measuring up as a dad. We break down the science of why our brains overreact to tiny social snubs and why we always overestimate how much people are actually judging us. Tune in for some quick, daily habits to help you silence your inner critic, build real confidence, and finally stop trying to please everyone.THE SHOW NOTES!Thanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Transcribe →185: Years before the YES
3w ago00:40:17Tap to summarizeA great wedding is more than just a ceremony, dancing, or good cake —it’s the ultimate "harvest" of years of intentional soul-tending. We’re diving into how that walk down the aisle is actually the culmination of a thousand tiny investments, late-night talks, and hard-earned growth. We’ll look at how the cast of characters in the audience is a direct reflection of the love the couple has poured out, proving that a solid community is built, not just found.

4w ago00:36:03Tap to summarizeSo, "chalant" isn't a real word, but it’s the only way to describe the big, bold energy we’re talking about today. We are over the "too cool to care" vibe, and we’re here to help you trade that boring indifference for a life lived at full volume. This episode is all about living your truth and "living large," even if that means being the most enthusiastic person in the room. We’re diving into why being unbothered is overrated and how showing up with massive, messy heart is the ultimate gift.

Transcribe →183: Big Picture Parenting
Apr 2900:44:27Tap to summarizeGrab a frothy coffee and pull up a chair as we chat about big picture parenting. We’re leaning into the idea that childhood is just the prologue, focusing on how we can move from "authority" to "influence" by giving our kids the autonomy they need to grow. By creating non-judgmental spaces and forging bonds that actually stick, we’re laying a foundation today for a true friendship with the adults they are becoming. It’s all about being intentional in the messy, ordinary rhythms of life so that the door stays wide open for a lifetime. After all, building these forever-connections is exactly why these are the good days.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Transcribe →182: 7th place
Apr 2200:38:20Tap to summarizeWe’re looking at how Jennifer Hudson lost American Idol in 7th place and then turned around and won an Oscar. It’s the ultimate proof that hearing a "no" is usually just a detour, not the end of the road. Success is never a straight line, and sometimes those big setbacks are just clearing the path for something much better. We’re digging into why losing the match doesn't mean you've lost the game and how to totally redefine what "winning" actually means. If you're feeling stuck in 7th place, come see why your biggest "fail" might be your best move yet.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Transcribe →180: More to the story
Apr 800:38:05Tap to summarizeWe are diving into the recent Cracker Barrel controversy and how perspective shifted after talking to a server on the front lines. It was a powerful reminder that we rarely see the full picture at face value, and there is almost always more to the story than a headline suggests. We challenge the habit of instant judgment, asking how our world might change if we led with grace instead of assumptions. What if we admitted we don’t know the whole truth? By holding space for the unknown, we can fundamentally transform how we treat and love the people right in front of us.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

Apr 100:38:51Tap to summarizeThe energy you bring into a room determines your outcome before you even say a word. In this episode, we’re breaking down why your mindset is the ultimate predictor of success and how to stop letting your brain "predict" your future based on past baggage.

Transcribe →178: Present over Perfect
Mar 2500:38:50Tap to summarizeThis week on These Are Good Days, Lee Ann and Matt are diving into why we’re so obsessed with getting it "right" at the expense of being real. We often treat perfectionism like a suit of armor to dodge criticism or keep anxiety at bay, but in reality, it just shields us from the actual connection and vulnerability we’re wired for. We’re busting the myth that "perfect" people win at life and exploring how showing up as your messy, authentic self is actually the fastest way to get ahead in your relationships. It’s time to stop curating the moment and start actually living in it—because the best days aren't the perfect ones; they’re the ones where you actually show up.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!
