Home Builds, Life Insurance Scams & Kelsey Ballerini 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.

You want chaos? You got it. In this week’s episode, Rylee and Jaj are barely hanging on — one home purchase, salon build, concert, and emotional spiral at a time. One's broke. One’s stressed. Both feel like gremlins. We deep dive into why opening a business feels like birthing a porcupine, why buying a house alone should come with emotional hazard pay, and how Kelsey Ballerini somehow saved our week (even though we knew exactly three of her songs).

Oh, and don’t worry — we also manage to spiral about screen-addicted tweens, fireplace placement drama, the downfall of society, and… a Utah nurse murder plot?? Yeah. Buckle up. It’s a hot mess express with snacks.

Press play and feel better about your life.
