Don’t Save It — Use the Good China on a Tuesday
Mon Feb 02 2026
What if the special thing you’re waiting for… is today?
This solo episode is a loving, irreverent nudge to stop preserving your life for later and start using it now—messy, ordinary, sparkly, imperfect days included.
No pearl-clutching required.
Some side-eye encouraged.
Bring your favorite underwear.
In this episode:
🍽️ The china cabinet myth — why “special” dishes lose their magic when they never touch the table.
📓 The notebook you’re afraid to ruin — and what it’s costing you to keep it pristine.
🏷️ Sticker paralysis — when saving it actually means never enjoying it.
🩲 The good underwear theory — what if confidence comes first, not after?
⏱️ The 5-4-3-2-1 launch — how momentum beats motivation every time.
☕ Second cup energy — choosing small delights without waiting for permission.
🚲 A bicycle with quirks — and why perfection was never the point.
🥩 Ribs, recognition, and belonging — how being known somewhere changes the meal.
⚰️ The pristine-vessel lie — why a well-used life is the goal, not a flawless one.
🔥 Refusing to stay stuck — when “I want a solution” actually means “I want to change.”
This episode isn’t here to fix you.
It’s here to remind you that this life—your body, your joy, your tools, your time—was given to be used. Even loudly. Even imperfectly. Especially now. We’re really, really glad you’re here. 💛
