The Shared Delusion

The Shared Delusion

Megan & Jhenna. Two best friends. One shared brain cell. A podcast where two best friends are unqualified, unfiltered and unhinged. Each episode dives into relatable topics, hot takes, debates that blur the line between insight and nonsense and the thoughts we all have but never say out loud. We will always question what's "normal" and laugh our way through the chaos. Episodes drop bi-weekly. So come for the laughs, stay because you're as confused as we are and that's okay.

In our very first episode, we answer the only reasonable questions: who the hell we are? how we met? and why anyone trusts us with microphones?

We get into our first impressions of each other, our "small but annoying" attributes and what delusion led us to believe starting this podcast was a good idea. Expect unqualified girls in an unfiltered friendship making unhinged decisions and comments. This is your crash course in what actu...

This episode is for the friendships that don't make sense to anyone... including us.

We're talking vocal stims and inside jokes that absolutely should've stayed private, the unspoken (and sometimes spoken) roles, and the telepathic tendencies of friendship. You know, normal behavior. We unpack what our friendship probably looks like to other people. 

If you've ever laughed way too hard at something that wasn't even funny, finished ...

In this episode, we do what we do best: say things with out whole chest and absolutely refuse to back down.

We read random Hot Take cards and spiral our way through opinions we're fully prepared to defend, regret or double down on. Some takes are very unserious, some are controversial and some might make you pause the episode just to process. 

There are no winners, and definitely no research involved. Just chaotic opinions, friendl...

Modern dating doesn't feel real and this episode proves it.

We're unpacking dating app horror stories, 'green flags' that somehow are actually red flags in disguise and so much more. From confusing dealbreakers to situationships that last way too long, we spiral through the unspoken rules and collective confusion that make dating feel like a poorly designed game. 

This isn't advice and it's definitely not a how-to guide... it's jus...

In this episode, we're unpacking everything we thought adulthood would be versus what it actually looks like. From childhood expectations to the chaotic reality of our 20s, we're talking soul-sucking jobs, confusing insurance, the importance of saving and investing and the overwhelming realization that nobody actually knows what they're doing. 

If you've ever wondered how everyone else seems to have it together, felt behind in life...

Are you loyal to your favorite brands... or loyal to a good deal??

In this episode, we're putting brand loyalty and bargain hunting head-to-head. From ride or die products we refuse to switch up to our proudest thrift finds, we break down the chaos of shopping habits. We talk comfort vs curiosity, splurging vs saving, and why some things are worth every penny while others are absolutely not.

Whether you're emotionally attached to y...

No one talks about how complicated adult friendships can be.

 

In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to grow, drift, reconnect, and evolve alongside the people who’ve known you through different versions of yourself. We talk about keeping friendships alive when life gets busy, navigating jealousy and distance, hard friendship stages no one prepares you for, and the red flags and green flags we’ve learned the ha...

Everyone wants main character energy... but what does it actually mean??

In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between confidence and delusion, romanticizing your life vs ignoring reality and what it really looks like to be the main character in your story. From the moments we feel like we have it all together to the times we're clearly just side characters in our own lives, we're getting honest about it feels. Pop cu...
