In this week’s episode, we sat down with the lovely Caroline Lunne — a true light and someone who really gets the beauty of the in-between. Her approach to “liking your life” isn’t just a cute phrase, it’s a mindset shift. A way of showing up, even when things aren’t shiny or perfect.
Through our conversation, it became clear that learning to like your life — not just chasing some ideal version of it — is where real contentment begins.
Caroline shared her story of moving to Charleston and how unexpected peace came not from everything falling into place, but from choosing to enjoy the now. We’re so often caught up chasing the Pinterest-perfect version of happiness that we forget how grounding it can be to simply be okay with where we are, even if it’s messy, slow, or still unfolding.
We also unpacked the pressure to romanticize every inch of our lives — and how exhausting that can be. Caroline reminded us that it’s okay to not love everything all the time. Sometimes, just liking your life is more than enough. There’s peace in progress.
One of our favorite takeaways? We get to create joy. Whether it’s grabbing a pumpkin cream cold brew, lighting a fall candle, or setting a cute table just because — those little moments matter. And they remind us that joy doesn’t have to be big or loud. Sometimes it looks like a Monday morning coffee.
As we wrapped the episode, we were reminded that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. So here’s to the ordinary, the intentional, and learning to like the life we’re already living.
