Show Notes
Quigley Goode joins for this JUICY 🍊 convo about reclaiming your identity and charting your own course without letting the world define you. She shares her journey from being on American Idol to leaving music and pursuing a career in social media and fashion. We dive deep into her motherhood journey from a pandemic pregnancy and absolutely CRAZY birth story to quarantining in the hospital with a Covid positive newborn to weening a breastfeeding toddler AND weening herself off SSRIs at the same time. Finally, Quigley shares her vision to return to music and become the first 35-year-old mom pop star: "If it hasn't been done, that means you're the one to f*cking do it!" We left this conversation madly inspired--tune in for a big ol' dose of empowerment!

More from Very Good Enough
In the final episode of Very Good Enough, Jess and Layne process some real-time anxiety (this was recorded during the LA fires--you'll hear an air purifier in the background), figure out how to land this plane and let you know what to expect from us in the future. We also talk about how to manage anxiety when the world feels too big by identifying what IS in your power to influence and then doing that really well. When we say that we have LOVED making this podcast for you over the last 2+ years...there aren't words to fully wrap around the feeling. THANK YOU for being in this extended conversation with us. And...we're not disappearing! Make sure you're following us on Instagram so you don't miss what's next: Jess - @jess_hover Layne - @enquiryco
This is the second to last episode of this podcast and we are in our feelings about it. BUT before we say goodbye, we have one last Carl Jung quote to unpack with you: "Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically...on their children than the unlived life of the parent." We go pretty deep on how to hear your own desires, what reparenting yourself actually looks like, the brain development behind why your life becomes your child's model for their own...and a ton of other stuff. If there has to be a second-to-last, we're glad it's this one. Note: there is a gentle but audible hum throughout this episode--it's an air purifier, we recorded this during the LA fires.
Welcome, dear friends, to the first of three final episodes of Very Good Enough. After a long break, Jess and Layne are back together ready to share what this journey has been like from each of our perspectives and how we independently arrived at the conclusion that, well, it's time to conclude. We recorded these conversations during the height of the fires in LA so you'll hear about our experiences with that in real time. Then we get into how to know when it's time to let something go, how to celebrate the ending of something good, and how to trust your life direction even when you don't totally know where it's taking you.
Jess and Layne take some time to reflect on the conversations we've had with you over the course of this season.
This episode digs into the isolating world of early parenthood. Jess and Layne explore why connecting with other moms (or literally anyone) is crucial for your mental and physical health and offer practical tips on building your support network.
