We’re more connected than ever — messages, social media, constant updates — yet somehow, people are feeling more alone.

So we asked a bigger question: Have we lost our sense of community?

This episode unpacks why community matters more than we realise, how it shapes our lives, and where we might be missing it.

In this episode, we cover:

• The difference between friendship and community — and why you need both
• Why we’re experiencing a modern “connection gap” despite being constantly online
• The concept of the “third space” and where real connection actually happens
• How community influences your mindset, habits, and overall wellbeing
• Real-life examples of community showing up in powerful, unexpected ways
• Practical ways to start building or finding your own community

This is your reminder that connection doesn’t always come from the people closest to you.

Sometimes it comes from the spaces you step into.

And often… it starts with something small.

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of what’s been a very full (and slightly chaotic) week — from high-pressure events and live show calling, to unexpected opportunities that only come from being part of the right community.

This is a more personal, off-script episode where we share what really goes into bringing people together — not just the polished version you see, but everything happening underneath it.

From major industry events with thousands of people, to intimate retreat-style experiences, this episode highlights how community shows up in so many different forms – and why it matters more than ever.

You’ll hear:

• What it actually takes to run large-scale live events (and the pressure behind the scenes)
• How different types of communities – big and small – create connection
• Why shared experiences bring people together faster than anything else
• The unexpected opportunities that come from staying connected and showing up
• Why community isn’t just something you find – it’s something you build over time

There’s a mix of chaos, humour, and real perspective in this one – and it gives you a glimpse into our world and why we care so much about this topic.

This isn’t about big moments – it’s about the small ones that stay with you.

In this episode, Heather and Elli explore the simple but powerful impact of saying hello. Through real-life stories from everyday moments, they unpack how a single word can shift your day, create connection, and sometimes lead to something unexpectedly meaningful — without needing to be anything more.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why we often hold back from simple connection
• The power of small, everyday interactions
• Real stories that started with a simple hello
• How connection doesn’t need to lead anywhere to matter
• Letting go of fear, awkwardness and overthinking

This is your reminder that connection doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it starts with something as small as saying hello.

The post Hello – One Of The Most Powerful Words appeared first on This Gets Good.

In this episode, we introduce you to the woman who inspired this podcast — and someone you’ll be hearing a lot more from.

Gaye is in her 70s, full of life, deeply honest, and effortlessly herself. From her daily coffee community to her love of fashion, laughter, and telling the truth (whether you’re ready for it or not), she brings a perspective that feels both refreshing and grounding.

This episode is about more than just meeting Gaye – it’s about seeing what’s possible in this stage of life.

You’ll hear:

• What lights her up — and why that hasn’t changed over time
• The role of community in shaping her daily life and wellbeing
• How she thinks about ageing (and why it might surprise you)
• The freedom that comes with caring less about what you “should” do
• Why joy, laughter, and connection matter more than anything else

There’s humour, honesty, and a lot of perspective in this one — and it sets the tone for the kind of wisdom we’ll be bringing into future episodes.

This isn’t just another podcast – and this is where it all begins.

In this first episode, Heather and Elli share why they created Turns Out… This Gets Good and what you can expect from the show. What started as a simple connection grew into something much bigger — a deeper understanding of community, cross-generational friendships, and why this stage of life deserves a different conversation.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why life after 50 needs a new narrative
• The power of community and connection
• What you can expect from future episodes
• How this show will bring together different generations and perspectives

This is your invitation to think differently about where you are — and what’s possible from here.
