A Thought I Kept: A New Wellbeing Podcast About the One Idea That Stayed

A Thought I Kept: A New Wellbeing Podcast About the One Idea That Stayed

I’ve always loved a good idea.

A reframe.

A quiet insight that makes me pause mid-scroll, or scribble something in the notes app at 11:37 p.m. so I don’t forget it.

I love podcasts too. The kind that hold space. That shift something. That say the thing I didn’t know I needed to hear.

But lately I’ve been wondering:

Out of all the life advice, wellbeing strategies, and “you-have-to-listen-to-this” podcast moments… what actually stays with us?

What do we carry into our everyday lives, long after the episode ends or the book gets returned to the library?

We’re surrounded by incredible knowledge — how to be calmer, healthier, more grounded, more curious.

The science is smart. The frameworks are helpful. The tips are endless.

But when life happens — the real, messy, school-pick-up, half-asleep-on-the-couch life — what idea do we remember?

What thought do we keep?

A podcast about the ideas that last

So I made a podcast. It’s called A Thought I Kept.

Each short episode takes the form of a conversation with someone about the one thought they couldn’t forget.

Not because it was the most profound, or went viral, or solved everything.

But because it stuck. It mattered. It shaped something in how they moved through the world.

It might have come from a book.

Or a late-night conversation.

Or a stranger on a train.

Or a friend’s voice note, recorded mid-walk and slightly out of breath.

These are stories about the ideas that landed. The ones that felt personal. Sometimes private. Always real.


This podcast is for you if:

  • You collect ideas, but want to know which ones are worth keeping

  • You love good conversation but feel tired of overproduced advice

  • You’re a fan of wellbeing podcasts that center women’s voices, and the magic of “me too” moments

  • You’re curious, but craving softness

  • You’ve underlined a sentence and wondered why it hit so hard

  • You love wellbeing podcasts but crave something more human.

This isn’t a podcast about how to fix your life.

It’s about how we live with the ideas that gently shape it.

The trailer will be out next week with episodes going out on Mondays after that.

I hope this podcast offers you something that stays.
