Frosty Feels & Holiday Reels: Keeping & Creating Traditions Artwork

Good As New

Life is messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, happy, and everything in between. It’s those moments that help shape us, give us insight into who we are at our core, and hopefully help craft relationships that will last a lifetime. Events like loss, birth, marriage, graduation and so many more are like road markers along our personal paths, and things don’t always (for better or worse) go as planned. But it’s the story and the results that define who we are - and it’s those life-changing stories that will be coming to you this January with Jaj, who recently found herself a widow with 2 young kids, and Rylee, a budding entrepreneur whose big dreams and even bigger drive are being juggled with the adventure of being a newlywed. Their stories aren’t perfect, but that’s not what we’re here for. We’re learning as we go and hopefully, coming out better than we began. Listen to “Good As New” an imperfectly perfect podcast sharing the moments that break us and build us stronger.

From parenting conundrums to Costco holiday shopping plans, we’re all in on the seasonal spirit, complete with Christmas trees, candles, and our attempts at holiday cheer despite the chaos of parenting and married life. We're talking all things nostalgia and holiday traditions—those little moments and memories that bring a sense of comfort and warmth, especially during the holiday season. We dive into creating memories that will someday become nostalgic, sharing seasonal traditions, and making the most of the cozy vibes this time of year brings.

Imagine us discussing Christmas garland, failed sourdough, and nostalgic Blockbuster memories in between hearty laughs (and a few sneezes—thanks, winter colds). We dive into memories, heartache, and healing, a side of humor that’s both raw and relatable. I spill my inner monologue on single parenthood, the realness of grief, and the eternal mystery of why we want kids and a little peace all at once.
