Episode 24: Season One Highlights with the We're Good Partners
In this heartwarming season wrap-up of the We’re Good Podcast, host Lee Ann Necessary Brownlee reunites with co-founders Tanya Ruiz La Force and Mary Ellen Chandler to look back on the stories that made them laugh, cry, and taught them something new.
This episode is a highlight reel of the most powerful moments from Season One—perfect if you’re new to the show or ready to revisit your favorite stories.
You’ll hear how a young woman evacuated from Afghanistan found her voice and purpose in a new country; why a mom reading from her book about dropping her son off at Jill’s House had everyone in the studio in tears; and how a simple game of checkers at Horton’s Kids turned into a life lesson in perseverance for everyone.
There’s laughter too—like Lee Ann’s very public confession that she can’t bake (sorry, Peter’s cookies!)—and the unforgettable story of a tap on the shoulder at a Wawa gas station that changed the course of a young man’s life through Year Up United. You’ll hear how programs like Talent for Tomorrow, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, DC SCORES, and Fairfax CASA become more than services—they become family.
The hosts also revisit powerful conversations with Dog Tag Bakery, Operation Renewed Hope Foundation, Blue Star Families, Insight Memory Care, and geriatrician Dr. Christina Prather, who gifts listeners with memorable, practical wisdom like “motion is lotion” and a hopeful, realistic view of aging, dementia, and caregiving.
Woven through every clip is what makes We’re Good so special: everyday brilliance, radical empathy, and real people rolling up their sleeves to make the world a better place.
If you’re craving stories that restore your faith in people—and maybe nudge your own New Year’s resolutions—this episode is your invitation to binge Season One, hit follow, and share the good.
