Dear Memaw

Somewhere along the lines people started treating emotions like failures.

A real conversation with men about the invisible weight many women carry every single day, mentally, emotionally, physically, and historically. Sometimes understanding changes everything.

Are women carrying all the mental load of their household or are they complaining too much?

Did we accidently raise adults who expect applause for everything and can't handle disappointment? Memaw is talking about participation trophies, entitlement, resilience, and whether we stopped teaching people how to hear the word "no."

In this episode Memaw and Morgan read a letter from a viewer that found out her husband has been texting a mutual friend. Can she get over that? Is that cheating?

We all say we want change. We want better relationships. Better habits. More discipline. More peace. A different life. So why do we keep repeating the same patterns? In this episode of Dear MEMAW, we talk about why change is so hard, why we stay stuck in familiar pain, and how identity plays a bigger role than motivation ever will. We cover Why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns How...

In this Dear MEMAW episode, Naomi writes about a relationship that feels easy, comfortable, and good but never secure. He shows up until he disappears. He says he doesn’t like labels. He says he’s taking things slow. But Naomi wants marriage. Stability. A future. What do you do when something feels good but never quite moves forward? In this episode, we talk about emotional availability, avoidance...

Why is dinner automatically our job? Even if we don’t cook it, we still decide it. We track the toilet paper. We remember the appointments. We make Christmas happen. We manage the emotions. We carry the invisible list. This episode is about the mental load women carry every day and why it’s exhausting in ways nobody talks about. If women stopped overfunctioning for one week, what would actually br...

Dear MEMAW received a letter from Julie, who says she can’t stop feeling like something bad is coming — even when life looks fine. She worries about money when there is money. She worries about getting sick. She worries about her kids. She worries about losing what she has. In this episode, MEMAW talks about why living braced for disaster doesn’t mean you’re negative — it means you’re scared — and...

This episode isn’t about a topic. It’s about real life. When MEMAW started talking online back in October, there was no plan, no strategy, and certainly no expectation that this would grow the way it did. What began as casual conversations about life slowly turned into something much bigger as people began sharing their stories and their pain. In this episode, MEMAW and Morgan talk honestly about...

There comes a point in life where explaining yourself starts to feel heavier than staying quiet. In this episode, I’m talking about the things I don’t explain anymore, my boundaries, my choices, my healing, and my peace. Not because I’m angry, but because I’m done carrying the weight of other people’s comfort. If you’ve ever felt exhausted trying to justify your life to people who were never going...

Sometimes the most painful endings aren’t loud. They’re quiet. Today’s letter is about a long friendship that ended without a conversation, after someone chose to protect an adult child’s anger over safety, honesty, and years of loyalty. We’re talking about silence as an answer, friendship betrayal, and what it means when people choose comfort over truth. If you’ve ever been left without closure,...

There is a kind of grief that doesn't come from death. It comes from being cut off. In this episode, we talk about alienation, loss of access, and the pain nobody knows how to name.

New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because you do, they fail because they’re too broad. We talk about why exercise-based resolutions backfire and what small, realistic changes actually stick.

This one’s just for fun. We’re talking Christmas do’s and don’ts. The funny ones, the unspoken ones, and the ones everyone pretends not to notice. No lessons, no fixing anyone, just a real conversation that went longer than planned (because that’s how it goes). Put this on while you’re wrapping, cleaning, driving, or taking a break. Easy listening, holiday chaos included.

She’s 60, the oldest of three, and built a life on her own terms, a ranch, a farm, independence, and peace. She didn’t marry. She didn’t have children. And over time, her family pulled away. In this episode, we read and discuss a letter from a woman who chose a non-traditional life and was slowly treated like the outsider. We talk about family expectations, passive judgment, obligation-based relat...

Grab your coffee, hun. Today’s Dear MEMAW letter is from a woman whose whole life is shifting under her feet. She’s going through a divorce, planning a move out of state, and praying her daughter and grandchild can come with her. But as you’ll hear… every choice she makes comes wrapped in pressure, guilt, and fear of losing her family. In this episode, Morgan and I talk through: How to make life-c...

Today we are talking about THE ICK. Not a red flag, not a deal breaker, just one small thing that ruins everything. Funny. Honest. And painfully relatable.

Welcome to Dear MEMAW, where no topic is too tender or too real. In today’s episode, MEMAW and Morgan read their very first listener letter and dive deep into the messy, beautiful parts of life that most people are too scared to say out loud.

In this episode of Memaw and Morgan, we dive into what happens when blended families collide, especially when old relationships bring new chaos.

In today’s episode, we answer a letter from a listener who’s suddenly catching feelings for his long-time female best friend, and he doesn’t know what to do with it. We talk about the difference between real romantic interest and emotional convenience, how to tell if you’re genuinely compatible, and what happens when fear, timing, and friendship collide.

She’s married. He’s married. And she’s stuck in an emotional affair with a man who keeps ghosting her, then coming back like nothing happened. If you’ve ever waited for someone who only shows up when it benefits them, this one’s for you. You deserve better than crumbs.

In today’s episode, we’re keeping it light and a little unhinged just how the holidays actually are. Memaw and Morgan dive into: Morgan refusing to stick her hand inside the turkey The annual giblet mystery Her son asking for Wingstop after she cooked all day The chaos that happens in other people’s houses And why we’re still grateful, even when Thanksgiving gets feral It’s a cozy, funny, totally...
