EP 11: #FeelsLikeHome: High School Hallways Love, Girl Talk

We are in the midst of a global pandemic of loneliness felt through isolation and a longing for human connection. At Girl Talk, we are providing the antidote to this pandemic of loneliness through friendship, hope, and healing. During the holiday season, we are going down memory lane with our mini-series, #FeelsLikeHome, to remind each other that we are never alone. Our podcast co-hosts, Julie and Shannon, chat with Regina about the excitement of sharing stories with high school and middle school girls. They talk about romance, the craving deep conversation, and why blankets and pillows make all the difference. Girl Talk #FeelsLikeHome.
