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. 10 | Little Girl, Big Feelings - In a Mead Notebook
This one’s for the grandmas who quietly carry our history. In this episode, I share a tender memory of discovering a pink Mead notebook my Grandma Donna saved for decades—a notebook filled with poems and stories I wrote as a little girl.
It’s not just about nostalgia. It’s about remembering the child I was, the dreams I had, and the quiet proof that I’ve always been a writer.
I reflect on the power of holding on to our younger selves, how memory works when childhood trauma is part of the story, and how sometimes what we need most is someone who thought we were worth saving.
📘 Follow along as I start reading these poems aloud in upcoming fireside episodes.
