Guys, we're just trying to keep it together as we race toward Christmas! This week, we’re sharing all the festive chaos: from last-minute gift scrambles (pro tip: Amazon is your BFF) to the aftermath of our dreamy girl dinner event—Olive Garden, Bev’s drink bar, and non-drip candles totally stole the show. Plus, hear about our wild plans for a couples’ casino night (yes, please!) and the Grand America staycation tradition Riley’s starting with her kids.
Also, real talk: parking lots are war zones, Target should come with hazard pay, and wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve is a sport. So grab your cranberry, lime Diet Coke (or three), hug your people extra tight, and let’s embrace the beautiful chaos that is this season.
P.S. We share all the hot tips for last-minute gifts and surviving the madness—because we’re in this together, right? 🎁✨
Merry almost Christmas, besties. 🎅🎄

In this week’s episode of Good as New, we’re getting real with Jaj about the unique challenges of single parenthood. From navigating those tough kid moments without a partner to pass the torch to, to raising her fiercely independent little ones, Stevie and Charlie, Jaj opens up about the heartache and humor of doing it all solo.
But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy! We’re also diving into Black Friday madness: our favorite brands to watch, the deals we’re already scouting, and what you absolutely cannot miss. Plus, we’re sharing strong opinions on the hottest entertainment news: Why Wicked is the must-see musical of the season and why Moana 2’s new tracks aren’t exactly chart-toppers (allegedly).

This week, we’re switching our internal dialogue. You know, the voice that groans about morning sickness, the endless laundry, or the chaos that comes with kids. Instead of “ugh, I hate this,” we’re flipping the script to: “what a privilege it is.” (Yes, really—stick with us.)
We talk about why seeing these challenges as privileges can shift your perspective and your mood. And we asked all of you about the privileges in your life and you came through big time!
In other news, John casually bought a plane (no big deal), we’re deep in our Friendsgiving era, and—drumroll please—tickets for our Girls Dinner go live tomorrow!
Grab your headphones and your gratitude (even if it’s begrudging), because this episode just might change the way you see your world.Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again

This week, we’re navigating life’s little ironies: from fall cleaning frenzies and the zen of toy donations to the drama of diet Coke runs and sneaky kid germs (yes, we’re looking at you, Stevie). We’re dishing on pre-holiday prep, the art of staying sane with sick kiddos, and a whole lot of “just being thankful” — for warm homes, working cars, and, yes, endless coffee.
We’ve got talk of the weekly “look-forward-to-it” plan (because everyone deserves a little happy anticipation), some swoon-worthy holiday nostalgia, and, naturally, a few side chats on random restaurant favorites and hilarious holiday movie marathons. So hit play, get comfy, and let’s dive into a holiday-flavored episode all about gratitude, realness, and a sprinkle of good old-fashioned girl talk on what (and who) we’re truly grateful for this season.

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.Hug Your People, and Then Hug Them Again

Ever wondered how to make sourdough from scratch with a few laughs and maybe a dash of frustration? Same. This week on Good As New, we dive into the absolute rollercoaster of breadmaking, a story of two very committed newbie bakers named Brenda and Rhonda (our sourdough starters, of course). If you’ve ever hovered over dough praying it rises or questioned your decision to start baking at midnight, this one’s for you.
Besides our doughy adventures, we throw out some big plans for a holiday girl dinner. Think “favorite things” swap, loads of candles, and maybe even heart-shaped ice cubes because we're all about the girly details. If you’re listening, drop us a DM with “I’m in!” (or “Get some sleep!”). Oh, and don't miss the spooky stories we snuck in to kick off Halloween. Safe trick-or-treating, folks – and here’s hoping you never get ghosted by your sourdough

It’s chaotic vibes, and fall feels as we bring a little “bring your kids to work” day to the mic. From debating the insanity of never-ending school breaks (how do working parents manage?) to dissecting the pop culture rabbit hole of Aspen Ovard’s viral TikTok breakdown, it’s clear: we're here for the drama. You’ll get the tea on Parker and Aspen’s not-so-quiet divorce, conspiracy theories surrounding Liam Payne’s sudden fame spiral, and why Chick-fil-A’s latest menu hack is surprisingly divisive. Spoiler alert: Josh is not here for the pimento cheese.
But don’t worry, it’s not all celeb gossip and fast food critiques—we're letting you in on our own Halloween plans (yes, someone’s going as Scotty Scheffler in an orange jumpsuit—no further questions) and sharing the most creative costume ideas submitted by listeners as well as all your irrational fears. It’s a spooky season special you don’t want to miss.
So grab your pumpkin spice lattes, sit back, and enjoy the ride—preferably with the windows up, just in case a serial killer is lurking nearby (thanks for that one, listeners).

This week’s episode dives into the world of high-end interiors with none other than Nichole Speirs, co-founder of Utah’s premier design house, House West Design. If you think interior design is just about picking the perfect pillow, think again. Nikki shares how she and her team create entire homes from the ground up—starting with architecture and ending with lighting the final candle.
From flipping floor plans to crafting jaw-dropping second homes on a man-made lake (yes, you read that correctly), Nikki gives us the lowdown on designing the homes you wish you could vacation in. Oh, and forget those Instagram-perfect aesthetics—she is all about ensuring your space isn’t just pretty but also calm enough to keep your nervous system from short-circuiting.
Nikki shares her rise from a one-woman show to partnering up for design domination, working with clients whose budgets seem to know no bounds. Spoiler alert: It's not always smooth sailing (or should we say skiing?), but the results? Worth every sleepless night.
For anyone who’s ever debated whether flocked trees are overrated or wants to elevate their seasonal decor game (hot tip: stock up on those Costco garlands), this episode is a masterclass in blending cozy, chic, and functionality without losing your design soul.
Listen in for the scoop on the latest design trends and why big scale is always better. Your home—and your Pinterest boards—will thank you.

We accidentally went to the gym, battled kid colds, and managed to survive a week of couch potato life—yay us! But the real star of the show? Our guest, Alexa Norton from @GriefShine. Alexa has built an entire platform about shining through the grief after losing her dad at 23. Even after experiencing this loss, she somehow managed to turn the darkest of times into something a little brighter and hopeful that has helped thousands (including Jaj) shine despite sometimes overwhelming waves of grief. We discuss loss in this episode, and Alexa shares her sweet insights on dealing with grief, even if you're not the one going through it. She's a port in the storm, and her refreshing take on something that touches so many of us has us looking at loss in a whole new way.

Spoiler alert: Everyone still has their arms!Also, we dive into why Rylee's forehead is giving glass table vibes (thanks, Daxxify), why October 5th is now officially canceled, and of course, Trader Joe's fall essentials.

Buckle up, besties, because this episode is a wild ride through beauty nightmares and self-inflicted chaos! We're talking hair disasters, rogue waxing jobs, and questionable DIY beauty hacks—yes, we're looking at you, cocoa powder self-tanner. 🍫
Listen, we've been there (spoiler: red hair gone wrong and a waxing horror story that'll make you rethink every spa appointment), but your stories had us thinking we got lucky.
Trust us, after this episode, you'll never look at a Brazilian wax kit the same way again. Stop waxing your own hoo-ha’s, people! 😂 So grab your popcorn for this one, and maybe leave the bleach to the professionals. 😉

Ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe rethink your next camping trip? This week, Riley and Josh are back with stories of wild weekends and fall prep. We’re talking Charlie’s basketball league (prodigy in the making?), Stevie’s dance class and the absolute chaos of camping with kids. Spoiler alert: Riley slept for about two hours, so you know it was good.
We've got hacks for your next California trip—think Disneyland hacks (Stevie's first ride on Guardians?!), beach days, and all the Halloween vibes. Plus, we deep dive into the fascinating world of fall fashion, our go-to snacks, and fantasy football… but with our favorite things. And we need your opinion on platform Birkenstocks.

Buckle up, because this episode is all about the tea—and we’ve got a lot of it! First up, we're diving into your wildest confessions, and let’s just say, y’all did not disappoint. From sneaky Botox sessions to dating your best friend’s crush (and planning a wedding behind her back, no less!), we’re shook. And if you think that’s all, just wait till we spill on secret shopping habits—because apparently, self-checkout is a whole vibe!
But don’t worry, it’s not all scandalous—well, mostly. We’re also chatting about why boys are sometimes way more dramatic than we give them credit for and dishing on some good ol' sisterly jealousy. Plus, Riley has a genius plan for keeping tabs on an ex without even having to leave your couch. Spoiler: it involves dating apps, but not how you’d think. 😉

On a lighter note, fall is coming in hot (or should we say, cool?), and we're dishing on our favorite autumn trends. We’re talking cozy vibes, our obsession with all things brown, and debating if Uggs and Doc Martens are really “out” (spoiler: we’re keeping them forever). Plus, we serve up two easy, delish chicken recipes you’ll want to make every day—because clearly, this has turned into a food show now. 🍲

Well, well, well, look who’s back! It’s Riley and Jaj, your trusty hosts who apparently forget they even have a podcast when summer hits. But hey, after the best girls' night movie date ever (70 of you showed up, no biggie), we’re here to break it all down—complete with tears, popcorn, and some unexpected male fans (cough John cough).
We’re spilling all the tea on the movie drama, the books, and—oh yes—the Blake Lively outfit fiasco (who okayed that wardrobe?!). Plus, what’s up with the actors stirring the pot? Domestic violence themes? PR gone wild? We unpack it all with our usual snark and a few side-eyes.
But that’s not all! We chat about sinking jet skis at Lake Powell, navigating the chaos of back-to-school, and gasp actually being excited for fall. Yep, we're "fall girlies" through and through—even if that just means pumpkin everything.
Whether you’re dragging your feet back to routine or still daydreaming about summer, you’ll relate to this wild ride. Tune in, laugh with us, and grab a snack because, well, food is life.Make sure to like, subscribe, and download all the things.

So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to learn the weirdest, wildest facts while we laugh our way through another random Tuesday. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this one!

Hey, hey, hey! It’s Rylee and Jaj, your favorite podcast duo back at it again, just trying to figure out when the kids start school. Seriously, August has us questioning everything - is it the 2nd? The 14th? Who knows?!
In this episode, we're tackling the chaos of back-to-school season, but more importantly, our BIG EVENT is just around the corner! Pajamas, boas, and all - get ready for the ultimate girls' night out for the 'It Ends With Us' movie premiere. We're as excited as a kid on Christmas morning (but with better outfits).
We'll also dive into the latest juicy gossip about the Ballerina Farm, straight from the New York Times. Spoiler: it's not all peaches and cream. Plus, we debate the essential Olympic question: Why the heck is breakdancing a sport now? And why are NBC’s Olympic sets giving us serious 2005 vibes? + a BIG shoutout to our local Utah Olympians crushing it on the world stage.
Oh, and a little heads-up: if the movie doesn’t live up to our high expectations, just remember, we didn’t direct it, we just brought the snacks.
So buckle up, subscribe, and get ready to laugh your way through another wild week with us! 🎉
