Girlz Just Wanna Tell Stories

J9 and KT are Gen X'ers who reveal secrets of a life-long friendship - from the lockers of middle school - to high school, college (or flight attendant school!), first jobs, engagements, marriages, raising children, step-parenting, cross-country moves, divorce, starting over, and finally - life in the empty-nest. Join Girlz Just Wanna Tell Stories as they share how their friendship has ebbed and flowed since they met in 1979 - and all the hilarious stories they've collected along the way. Each episode highlights an aspect of "The Value of Friendship" and offers takeaways to inspire listeners to TAKE ACTION - reach out to an old friend, make a new friend, or how to be a "like totally awesome" friend. Take a deep dive and discover everything that does (and doesn't work) to create authentic social connections that support well-being, offer joy, and overall, help make your life more fulfilling.
