Lifelong friends Julie and Meghan talk life, womanhood, and all those feelings and thoughts most of us have but keep to ourselves. They use journals Meghan has been keeping for over three decades as a jumping off point, wandering into tangents and sometimes heavy territory, but bringing levity and having some laughs along the way. Don’t be shy. Have a listen. You know you feel the feelings.

Buckle up, Feelers! It’s our maiden voyage into The Feelings. Lifelong besties Julie and Meghan talk about childhood and adolescence, referencing journal entries Meghan began writing at the ripe old age of 8! Tangents include denial of our first periods and trying to get a word in edgewise in a cold, hard world.
