Little Book of Confessions with Melissa May
"Little Book of Confessions" started with my journal—then it became something more. I scribbled truths, passed around notebooks in bars, and collected strangers’ confessions—because we all have things we don’t say out loud. This podcast is for the stories that stick with us, the secrets we carry, and the moments that shape us. Expect raw, real, and sometimes hilarious confessions—mine, yours, and those from the wild—plus lessons from my life, coaching, and writing. Some secrets deserve to be told. Let’s confess.

In this vulnerable episode of Little Book of Confessions with Melissa May, I share a story I’ve carried since I was 17. At the time, I couldn’t say the word “rape.” I couldn’t write it, either. So I told myself another story to survive — one I reread years later and barely recognized as my own.
This is the journal entry. The memory. The truth.
And it’s for anyone who has ever rewritten pain into something more bearable — until they could finally face it.
