These Are Good Days

We all want deep, life-giving relationships, but meaningful connections don’t just happen on accident—they require intentional effort and time. We're talking all about prioritizing the people who pour back into your heart and make you feel like a million bucks. We're diving into what it looks like to clear the calendar, show up consistently, and stop leaving your most important relationships to chance.

In this episode, Lee Ann shares the surprising moment she called out a stranger in public for littering, sparking an honest conversation about what came over her and whether she’d ever do it again. We dive into the bigger question of accountability: do we have a responsibility to speak up when we see bad behavior in our workplaces, families, or communities? Together, we explore what it looks like to confront wrongdoings with courage and clarity rather than staying silent just to keep the peace. Tune in as we explore how small moments of standing up can lead to a cleaner, kinder, and more respectful world.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

All the Way is a call to throw open the doors and love without reservation. We explore what it takes to live fully by leaving no truth unsaid, no emotion hidden, and no stone unturned in our pursuit of connection. We unpack the weight of quiet regrets—the words we hesitated to say, the risks we failed to take, and the moments we let slip away—and replace them with action. Through honest conversations about vulnerability, sacrificial action, and showing up with our full presence, we examine how connection is built not just in grand gestures, but in the time we choose to give.

She breaks down the stories behind the book and gives us a preview of her unique approach—not about cold decorating or rigid organizing, but guiding principles to help your home truly reflect who you are. We talk through why traditional minimalism can feel a bit stark, how to build a home with real soul, and how she effortlessly mixes pieces from Crate & Barrel and Target to antiques and kids' treasures.
