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.
Pearl Harbor was a really big day in America…not to be confused with the Boston Tea Party. But Jaj didn’t know that. We’ve all been there, right? That moment where you speak an internal thought out loud and you instantly know it’s not your finest moment. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Heck, we didn’t even know that Cincinnati wasn’t a state. So listen in as we share the dummest things you’ve ever said.
Baths are better than showers, biker shorts are OVER, and we didn't initially like Taylor Swift's new song with Post Malone. But these are just our hot takes. We asked you to share yours and they are piping hot takes! You submitted some harsh realities. Fire came and the earth was scorched leaving no one safe.
We live in a world that has so many incredibly good things, sweet drinks, cute clothes, and way too many other things that seriously tests our self control. So what if we had a little allergy? Not death-inducing, nothing requiring an epipen. A low-level allergy that would deter us from getting too much of a good thing. If we lived in a movie, it could even be a very manly, omnipotent voice that would stop us in our tracks as we reached for one more cookie or tells us to go to bed when we’re staying up to late. Are we on to something here?
In 13 Going on 30, 13-year-old Jenna Rink is an awkward girl whose only desire is to be “thirty, flirty and thriving.” She magically gets her wish granted, waking up in 2004 at the age of 30 and not remembering anything that has transpired over the course of the last 17 years. Jaj celebrated her 30th birthday this week and while there was no time warp to get there, she did reflect on what she hoped for in her 30s. We also asked all of you what you hoped for in your 30s and it was lovely to hear about these dreams.
We also shared some of our makeup favorites::

We can definitely tell it’s spring because everything feels a little crazy. From merch drops (we’re so glad you loved this last one) and The Bachelor to our very chill spring break and Jaj hanging out with Post Malone, we have a lot to catch up on. So this is our vibe check. We’re checking in and catching up and reliving those moments where our vibe was HIGH!
August 7th, 2020 started out as a beautiful day. Jazlyn and her husband Shad took their friends and two of their sons for a ride in Shad’s plane to show off the beautiful county they live in from way up high.
What started as a fun day with friends quickly took a turn as the plane literally fell from the sky. Guided by a still small voice, protected in prayer, and the first of many miracles to follow, every passenger made it out alive. But just barely.
Nothing can ever prepare you for life after you survive a plane crash. In fact, Jazlyn still struggles to wrap her mind around what happened most days. But her story is one of compassion, true love and the real meaning of service. Join us as Jazlyn recounts the day that irrevocably changed her life and the lives of so many others.
In honor of the best season of The Bachelor coming to an end, we decided to host our own "Women Tell All" where we asked our listeners to spill on all things relationships. The secret things they do, the maybe crazy behavior, or how he's done you wrong. You ladies DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Blink-182 was on to something when they wrote this song. All the small things is about the surprising amount of fulfillment we get from the small things like drinks from our clients or sweet gestures from the people we have in our lives.
**Trigger Warning** This episode discusses sexual assault.
She has a well-known family and her children are beloved by so many. But Madison Fisher’s own experiences as a child who dealt with unwanted attention from adults and a survivor of sexual assault has made her a hyper vigilant parent and a voice for those without one. In our latest podcast episode, we engage in a deeply important and sensitive conversation about the crucial need to protect our children from sexual assault. The scars left by such experiences are not just physical, but deeply psychological, often shrouded in unwarranted shame and silence. It's vital to understand the immense courage it takes for victims to come forward, and the complex emotions they navigate. We delve into why it's essential to educate our children on the importance of speaking up, recognizing inappropriate behavior, and knowing they have a safe space with trusted adults. This episode is a call to action for all adults to be vigilant, supportive, and proactive in safeguarding our children's innocence and well being. Tune in to hear Madison’s powerful story.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, please see the resources below:
1. **Local Law Enforcement**: One of the primary steps can be reporting to the local police department. This is crucial for the possibility of criminal investigation and legal action against the perpetrator.
2. **National Sexual Assault Hotline**: In the United States, individuals can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or use their online chat service. The hotline provides confidential support and can guide survivors through the process of reporting and seeking help.
3. **Hospitals and Health Clinics**: Medical professionals can treat injuries, provide emergency contraception and STI prevention, and collect forensic evidence through a rape kit. They can also report the assault to the authorities with the victim's consent.
4. **Victim Services Agencies**: Local or regional victim services agencies offer counseling, legal advocacy, and assistance in navigating the reporting process.
5. **Schools or Universities**: For assaults that occur on campus or involve students, most educational institutions have a Title IX coordinator or a similar official responsible for handling reports of sexual assault and harassment.
6. **Workplace Human Resources Department**: If the assault is related to the workplace or involves colleagues, reporting to the HR department can initiate an internal investigation and support processes.
It's important for survivors to know they're not alone, and there are resources and individuals ready to support them through this process. Each country and region has specific services, so it's beneficial to look for local resources that can provide immediate and tailored assistance.
