Control is an illusion, with Jen Eddins



We love celebrating women. Was that not clear? This week, we’re chatting with Jen Eddins from Peanut Butter Runner about a host of issues, including women’s health and what to do when life doesn’t turn out like you had planned. We love the insight she brings to the table, and she may hold the record for the best “it sounded like a good idea at the time” segment on our show thus far.

You can find Jen on Instagram @jen_pbrunner, or on her website: peanutbutterrunner.com

What was that article Caroline was talking about? Something about “busy” being the same thing as “lazy”?
You can find the full article here. We like talking about the balance between pursuing your goals and being busy just for the sake of the hustle, so this is always a hot topic for the Good Idea crowd.

Make sure to visit our friends over at EssentialiHome to grab some elderberry syrup, and use the code “good idea” (two words) for 15% off your order.

It’s like when you go to adopt a new puppy, with April Robson



Drumrollllllllll because we have our first ever guest on the show today! April Robson from @smidgeofthis and @charlottesjoy graces us with her presence as we get deep into the ups and downs of making friends as bonafide grown-ups. You can decide which of your two favorite podcast hosts, if any, you’d like to hit up for some light friendship-level stalking. Here’s some of the stuff we mention: What was that IG where some anonymous angel shows what she’s bought and liked? That was, oddly enough, @things.i.bought.and.liked over on Instagram! Thanks to April bringing this up (apparently Caroline has been holding out on us), Hannah recently discovered her newest fave IG follow. What podcast was Hannah raving about? That was Caliphate, produced by the New York Times and featuring Rukmini Callimachi. I promise this will enthrall you! You can check out our website over here to see previous episodes!

Strangers Don’t Talk To Me



It’s almost Christmas, and we’re here to talk about Santa, elf on the shelf, people asking us about our library books, and people refusing to talk to us at all.

Other critical issues:
Why is there no Crazy Rich Asians: India Edition yet Kevin Kwan??
Tinder Founder: we may be mad at you, assuming you are who we think you are. Unless you want to advertise with us.
And the real topic on our minds today: self care. How do you practice this? We scratch the surface in this conversation but we want to hear from you!

Here’s more info if you want to deep dive into anything we talked about today:

Where did you find good info for self-care?
We liked this one from Forbes and this other one with info on good ways to cultivate self-care habits.

Did you guys say Beyonce performed at an Indian pre-wedding party? Yep, sure did.

And what IG account brought this up and discussed appropriation vs. appreciation? That would be one of our faves @tinted.
