About this listen

Life is messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, happy, and everything in between. It’s those moments that help shape us, give us insight into who we are at our core, and hopefully help craft relationships that will last a lifetime. Events like loss, birth, marriage, graduation and so many more are like road markers along our personal paths, and things don’t always (for better or worse) go as planned. But it’s the story and the results that define who we are - and it’s those life-changing stories that will be coming to you this January with Jaj, who recently found herself a widow with 2 young kids, and Rylee, a budding entrepreneur whose big dreams and even bigger drive are being juggled with the adventure of being a newlywed. Their stories aren’t perfect, but that’s not what we’re here for. We’re learning as we go and hopefully, coming out better than we began. Listen to “Good As New” an imperfectly perfect podcast sharing the moments that break us and build us stronger.© 2025 Good As New Politics & Government Social Sciences

    Okay, deep breath… we’ve got good news and bad news. And because we’re us, we’re obviously starting with the bad: this is our last episode for a while. Like summer break vibes, but with more emotional damage and fewer popsicles. Life is lifing, chaos is chaosing, and honestly—we’re at max capacity. Mentally, physically, hormonally. So we’re hitting pause on new episodes until fall, when we’ll (hopefully) return as refreshed queens with something better to say than “I don’t know what’s going on anymore.”

    In this short but sweet episode, we’re talking about what’s next, why we’re pressing pause, and what we hope you’ll do in the meantime (hint: it involves sunshine and hugging your people). It’s not goodbye forever—it’s just a “we’ll see you in September with new stories and hopefully better lashes.”

    💋 See you soon. Hug your people. And then hug them again.

    This week, we’re diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster that is being a girl—and spoiler alert: it’s a full-time job with zero PTO, hormonal chaos, and overpriced skincare. We’re talking spray tans as therapy, backseat babysitting, outfit meltdowns, mascara-induced rage, and why a $7 deodorant should be considered a luxury item.

    BUT we’re also shouting out the best parts—like glam nights, bikini boxes (yes, really), the magic of girlhood, and how we can go from Adam Sandler to smokeshow in 10 minutes flat. We also debate the ultimate question: is there a single show everyone agrees on? (It’s not The White Lotus, apparently.)

    Basically, it’s all things estrogen-fueled, deeply relatable, and aggressively girly—in the best way.

    Grab your Diet Coke and your lash curler, we’re getting into it.

    Okay so here's the tea: last week’s episode? Ghosted us. Literally. Power blinked, vibes were high, we were batching like podcast queens and then poof — lights out, files gone, and everyone thought we quit. (We didn’t. Chill.)

    This week we’re BACK, caffeinated, chatty, and spiraling in the best way. Jaj moves and Rylee's new salon is taking shape, and how we both basically want a pizza oven and a pool more than we want inner peace.

    Also: birthday feels, spring energy, single mom power moves, Coachella FOMO, why polygamy kind of makes sense (hear us out), and a Bachelor recap that’ll have you yelling “COME ON NOW” at your phone.

    Just two girls processing life with a mic and a meltdown. You know the drill. 🎙️💅
