Gray Matter

In this episode I talk about the response to the podcast, the joy of hearing from people I haven’t talked to in decades, and how one night of 90s music and dancing with friends can bring you right back to yourself

In this episode of Gray Matter, Megan reflects on friendship across different stages of life—from watching her daughter’s middle school friendships to thinking about her own experiences growing up, moving often, and forming lifelong bonds. She shares stories about the friends who have become anchors in her life and how those relationships continue to support and shape her today. The episode ends with a quick concussion update and a few TV and movie recommendations.

I talk about giving myself a concussion while trying to build an igloo, my sadness over the Olympics being over, and a few other thoughts along the way.Thanks so much for joining me.

In this episode, I talk about grief — not the textbook version, but the real one. The wave. The one that sometimes feels peaceful and full of gratitude… and sometimes knocks you flat on a random Tuesday. Why birthdays and anniversaries still hit. Why pushing it down never works. And how I’ve slowly learned to carry my dad with me in strength instead of just sadness.
