Episode 22 of Good Times, Noodle Salad is a big one — it’s our first-ever episode recorded in the new studio 🎙️🏡
Matt Smith and Paige Teregan sit down to talk through a season of massive life changes: moving into our new house, diving headfirst into remodeling the basement (including the bar build 👀), and what it’s really been like turning a house into a home while juggling everything else life throws at you.
Paige opens up about leaving teaching and, in hindsight, just how heavy that chapter was on her mental health — what she didn’t realize at the time, and what clarity looks like on the other side of burnout. It’s honest, reflective, and probably relatable for anyone who’s ever powered through a job that slowly drained them.
We also introduce our brand new business, Keepsake Conversations — a project that’s close to our hearts. Families can now come into our studio to record a podcast-style conversation with loved ones, creating an audio and video time capsule that can be shared and cherished for generations.
New studio. New house. New business. Big feelings. Same Good Times.
