THE NOSTALGIA | EP 021

Welcome back, Feels Family! 💛
This week, Johnny & Lisa dive into nostalgia—why songs, smells, and little moments can teleport us back in time, and how those memories can warm the heart or keep us stuck in the past. They unpack the difference between celebrating your history and idolizing a former version of yourself, the “glory days” trap, and practical ways to invest in your future self right now. You’ll also hear a candid riff on aging, health habits, and the importance of healing your inner child so old triggers stop running the show. 

Plus: a refreshing shoutout to our sponsor, OuLa-Lade Lemonade 🍋—fresh, all-natural, and always a vibe. 

Question of the Week:
What’s one memory you revisit often—and does it help you or hold you back? Tell us in the comments and on socials!
