What do bubble-blowing, backyard stargazing, art walks, and handwritten notes have in common? They're all simple, soul-filling experiences that cost next to nothing—and they’re the heartbeat of this episode.
Join Jamie and Max as they share some of their favorite “cheap thrills,” from creating pantry-only meals with the help of AI to dancing in the park to free local concerts. This episode is packed with heartfelt stories, giggle-worthy moments, and practical ideas to infuse more joy into your days—no credit card required.
We also unveil our Cheap Thrill Bingo Card with five playful categories:
B – Body (movement, dance, play)
I – Intellect (reading, journaling, library discoveries)
N – Nature (hikes, stargazing, beach sitting)
G – Goodness & Giggles (volunteering, blowing bubbles)
O – Old School / Oh-Wow moments (card games, board games, handwritten notes)
