We said goodbye…

Then said goodbye again…

And then somehow activated Gregg’s Alexa 😭

During our fifth attempt to end the show, I told Gregg the trending TikTok audio I planned to use to celebrate our upcoming 300th episode —

“Alexa! Play Lip Gloss.”

Next thing we know, Alexa starts activating, playing random songs, and slowly making her way to the actual song I was talking about.

This clip is pure chaos, zero planning, and exactly how My Third Place Podcast operates — having fun, not taking ourselves too seriously, and letting moments just happen.

🎉 We’re officially inviting everyone to:

Duet this video

Jump on the sound

Keep the chain going as we celebrate 300 episodes coming up FAST

Did your Alexa activate too? 👀

Let us know in the comments — and go check out Episode 272, live now.

Goodbye Letter
I think losing someone to suicide is the hardest way to lose someone. You're left with so many questions and to bury the hopes you had for them. #mentalhealthawareness is so important, and we all must remember to be kind because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

🫶Saying Goodbye Is Cool🫶 😎
Saying goodbye is cool. Even when it’s hard sometimes. I love saying goodbye—to things, to people, and especially to memories. I've been asked, "Why is it cool for you to say goodbye to memories?" And my answer leaves people stunned… in a good way. My answer is simple:

how we said goodbye to pacis!
Letting go of the pacifier was a journey for us, but at 2 years old, we eventually found something that worked out GREAT! Here’s how we chose to say bye bye binkies and made great memories at the same time! What did you do to say goodbye to pacifiers? Or are you trying to break the habit now?

✨ How do you say “goodbye” to depression? ✨
If I told you my life story, you’d wonder how I overcame so many challenges. I overcame betrayal, self-doubt, and emotional battles with the help of my family, friends, therapist and a couple of life coaches. Learning to manage my emotions wasn’t easy, but it’s a fight worth battling. Through years

Lines We Cross…. Returns February 14
Reyes vanished without ceremony. No goodbye. No trail. One day her name still rang in certain rooms, the next it echoed nowhere at all. Phones went unanswered. Addresses led to dead ends. Even the people who once swore they knew her suddenly didn’t remember her face clearly. It was as if she’d fold

The hardest goodbye is the one said in silence 🐾❤️
They don’t understand what “leaving” means. They only know they love you, and that being close to you feels like home. Maybe that’s why they stay near us until the very end — not because they’re afraid, but because our love was their whole world. 🕊️ #PetLoss #RainbowBridge #ForeverInMy

Remembering when I said goodbye to teaching
One year ago today, I was deep in the world of math intervention—coaching teachers, facilitating PDs, creating training resources, supporting students who thought decimals were a personal attack, and trying to make small group instruction feel less like herding cats and more like actual learning.
