Welcome to Out of the Ordinary, the show that helps you grow a daily life that matters. In a world that loves bigger, better, fast, and famous, longtime friends and authors, Christie and Lisa-Jo, are here to remind you that the very best stories actually grow out of the soil of ordinary life.
Welcome to the episode of Out of the Ordinary that you-our listeners!-made with us. You all asked the best questions and offered the perfect conversation starters (and finishers!) ...
We have arrived at the end of Out of the Ordinary, but every ending is a new beginning. This week, with your help, we share what our ordinary lives are like today, how and why we began this podcast, and the words and images we are using to describe this current season of completion and change.
We consider the present and how this episode is like a graduation
We look to the future and how this podcast has been like a bridge
We give the full story and the honest truth about our friendship, our differences, and why this podcast is coming to an end
We answer YOUR questions, including whether we might write a book together!
We look to YOUR future and offer tips for finding new podcasts

266. The Second Last One
We felt a pang as we hit record today. This is the second to final episode of 6 years of our conversations. But because conversation with a friend always does good work–we love the place where we landed. We pretty much landed this episode in heaven, didn’t we?
In our second-last episode we reminisce about our six-year journey, the impact these conversations have had on us and our embrace of ordinary life.
YOUR participation in the finale is requested. Click here to join the last conversation! (https://forms.gle/dJx1h49DmkMM9StN6)
We look to the future and what's next for each of us.
We reflect on the bittersweet nature of endings, and the hope of an eternal narrative.
We look to YOUR future and what's next for each of our listeners.
