In this week’s intro episode, we’re leaning into a topic that touches every single one of us: the quiet — and sometimes loud — longing for something better.

This week, we’re setting the tone for Wednesday’s upcoming conversation with author Dianne Parrish, where we’ll talk about her book Something Better and why so many of us struggle to feel content with what we already have.

Today’s episode is about:

  • Understanding the emotional exhaustion of always wanting “more”

  • And beginning to gently explore whether something better might already exist in the life we’re living now

So settle in with your coffee, your blanket, your porch swing, or your favorite quiet corner — and let’s start this week with some reflection and a little softness.

Your “something better” might be closer than you think. 💛
