Getting to Good Enough

A podcast to help you let go of perfectionism so you can live life with more ease, less stress and a lot more laughter.

If you caught this week's episode on disappointment, we'd love to hear from you.

Shannon's IKEA cabinet situation really hit home for so many of us—that moment when the plan you've invested energy in just... doesn't work out. And it's wild how quickly that can feel like a total failure, right?

But here's what we kept coming back to: disappointment often shows us we've gotten a little too attached to one specific outcome. When we can step back and remember what we actually care about—in Shannon's case, organized storage that works—suddenly there are more options than we thought.

We also talked about how some of our biggest disappointments have led to unexpected adventures. Shannon's canceled Camino became an RV trip through Oregon. Hannah's job loss became a thriving YouTube channel. Not every disappointment turns into something better, but staying open to what comes next? That changes everything.

Have you ever had your heart set on something, only to have it fall apart? That's what we're talking about this week.

Disappointment is such a normal part of life, but when it hits, it can feel like the end of the world. We chat about small letdowns (hello, lost AirPods!) and bigger ones too—like when a carefully laid plan just won't work. And here's the thing: sometimes what feels like a total disaster actually opens the door to something even better.

Discussion topics include:
- Why disappointment can feel so overwhelming
- The hidden perfectionism behind our attachment to one specific outcome
- How returning to what really matters helps us move forward
- Stories of unexpected opportunities that came from disappointment

We share some pretty personal moments in this one, including Shannon's basement cabinet saga and a few wild stories about people going to extreme lengths to make their plans work. (Spoiler: there's a company that literally lowers basement floors!)

What's your experience with disappointment? Have you ever had something not work out, only to discover something better on the other side? We'd love to hear your story—drop a comment and let us know!

Here's to good enough!

Here's the thing about those cringey memories that replay in your head: they're usually way less important than we think they are.

This week we're exploring whether awkward moments are perfectionism in disguise, or just... life happening. And more importantly, how to finally let them go (maybe even laugh about them).

Have you got an awkward memory that won't quit? We'd love to hear about it in the comments. Sometimes the best part of letting go is realizing everyone else has been there too.

That awkward thing you *still* think about... you know the one. 🙈

We're diving into why certain moments stick with us—sometimes for decades—and what they're really trying to teach us. Shannon's got a Fourth of July gift-wrapping story that'll make you cringe (in the best way), and Janine's holding onto a memory from way back.

You know the one. That awkward goodbye. The thing you said that came out wrong. The gift giving you wish had unfolded just a little differently.

Everyone else has probably forgotten it...but somehow your brain keeps bringing it back.

Reflecting on this week's episode: "The Challenge of Changing Gears"

Transitions often become easier when you remove little points of friction ahead of time, like gathering what you'll need before it's time to leave. Giving frequently used items permanent homes can eliminate unnecessary stress and decision-making.

A brief physical reset—stretching, getting water, or simply standing up—can serve as a bridge between tasks instead of a detour. And quietly reminding yourself what you're doing next can help keep your attention from wandering during transitions.

But here's the encouraging part: it's not about becoming someone who loves transitions. It's about noticing where they get sticky and experimenting with small ways to make them feel a little smoother.

What small shift helped you this week?

"The Challenge of Changing Gears"

Some days the hardest part of any task isn't doing it—it's stopping what you're doing so you can do the next thing. That shows up everywhere: going for a run, getting into (and out of) the shower, heading to an appointment, downsizing to a new home, or simply standing up from your desk.

In this week's episode, Shannon and Janine get curious about why transitions can feel so surprisingly difficult—and share the little things they've discovered that make changing gears just a bit easier.

Some days the hardest part of any task isn't doing it—it's stopping what you're doing so you can do the next thing.

That shows up everywhere: going for a run, getting into (and out of) the shower, heading to an appointment, downsizing to a new home, or simply standing up from your desk. Along the way there are tomato plants that suddenly need cages, dogs who don't want to leave the air conditioning, and just one more thing that distracts you.

In this week's episode, Shannon and Janine get curious about why transitions can feel so surprisingly difficult—and share the little things they've discovered that make changing gears just a bit easier.

This week we talked about the layers of self-talk and how the voice we use can make all the difference.

Here's the thing: sometimes we're so focused on achieving the goal that we forget the journey matters too. The way we talk to ourselves while we're working toward something—or trying to stop doing something—shapes the whole experience.

Shannon shared how her positive self-talk helped her stick to her running routine. Janine is exploring whether kindness toward herself might be the missing piece in her yoga practice. And we both discovered that even the smallest shift in tone or wording can change how motivated we feel.

What about you? When you're trying to do something that's good for you, what does your inner voice sound like? Is it cheering you on, or is it adding extra ick?

We'd love to hear what works for you. Drop a comment and share your experience.

Here's to good enough—and to the voice that gets us there. 💚
