Are We Actually Good? (Or Just Pretending?)

Welcome to the very first episode of Good For Us—where we try to live well, stay sane, and figure it out as we go. In this episode, we (Whitney, Aimee, and Laina) celebrate 20 years of friendship by doing the most 2020s thing possible: starting a podcast. But instead of promising we have all the answers, we’re embracing the fact that…we definitely don’t. 🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: * How we actually feel when someone asks, “How are you?” (Spoiler: It’s complicated.) * Our different approaches to “clean living”—from fragrance-free dryer sheets to finding the perfect non-toxic home scent. * Aimee’s wild pandemic pivot—from Hollywood exec to fragrance entrepreneur. * Why scent is so emotionally powerful (and how it can actually lower stress). * Laina’s struggle with being “too extreme”—and how she balances clean living with real life. * Whitney’s deep dive into self-exploration—and why fight-or-flight mode is real. * Why we started this podcast—and what we hope to create with you! This show is about real talk, balance, and doing what works—whether that’s obsessing over ingredients or just trying to make it through the day.
