Heads up: This is not genealogy related! I wanted to let you know that my co-host, Shannon Wilkinson, and I have decided to restart the weekly podcast, Getting to Good Enough, that we hosted for five years from 2018 to 2023. At that time, we decided to shut it down because it had stopped being fun and our lives had become a little complicated. But two years later we realized we missed talking with one another every week and we decided to bring it back.
Getting to Good Enough is a podcast about letting go of perfectionism so you can live life with more ease, less stress and a lot more laughter. It’s a free-wheeling conversation between two close friends who discuss life’s challenges and successes, all through the lens of letting go of perfectionism. Many of our listeners have told us it’s like sitting at the kitchen table with us while we chat over a cup of coffee.
In our first run, we published 254 episodes. They’re all still available to listen to. We’re relaunching with four “Best of GTGE” episodes, the second of which will be published tomorrow, August 14. The first new episodes will start airing on Thursday, September 4 and we’ll publish one every Thursday. And this time around, the podcast will be available in video as well as audio formats. You can listen on the website or on your podcast platform of choice. Or you can watch on YouTube.
Shannon and I both enjoy family history research and we did do one episode, Episode 20, focused on genealogy. If you want, you can listen to now if you’d like. I suspect the topic might come up in future episodes as well.
We recorded the first new episode yesterday and it was so fun to get back into it. We’re a little rusty, but I know it will get easier. Podcast technology has changed a lot in the last seven years, so we’re experiencing a bit of a learning curve. We figure it’s good for our brains.
If you enjoy listening to podcasts, I hope you’ll give us a try once the new episodes start airing on September 4! You can sign up at the podcast website to receive an email whenever new episodes are published.
We shot a little a trailer, if you’re interested. Be sure and watch to the end!
