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.

Ep. 6 | K-Dramas, Heritage, and My Grandmother’s Goodbye
K-dramas always hit me right in the heart — not just for the drama, but for the way they stir something in my memory. In this episode of Little Book of Confessions, I share stories about my Korean grandmother, Marie — how she escaped North Korea as a child, built a life in the U.S., and shaped who I am in ways I’m still discovering.
This is a story about food, culture, memory, grief, and a goodbye I never got to say. It’s for anyone who's straddled multiple cultures, felt the weight of family secrets, or longed for a deeper connection to their heritage.
