What does it feel like to use a public bathroom as a trans person? What does it feel like to move forward in life after losing a parent to suicide? What does it feel like to make the decision to have an abortion? In a world that feels more divided than ever, put yourself in the shoes of everyday people at the center of issues often overlooked or politicized by society. Through intimate, unfiltered conversations, host Terra Lopez shows us how what we feel connects us all more than we might think. It’s not simple. It’s not black and white. This Is What It Feels Like.

What 50 Years of Friendship Feels Like

What makes friendship last? In a time when America is experiencing a loneliness epidemic, how can friendship endure? In this episode, we sit down with 20 women in their 60s who have been friends since childhood. Together, we explore how they've navigated tough conversations, survived difficult arguments, and built a community rooted in love, trust, and honesty. Their stories offer an intimate and very real look at the work, forgiveness, and deep joy that sustain friendships across a lifetime. Friendship isn't just laughter and good times - it's hard conversations, brutal honesty, and choosing to stay even when it's messy.

Guests: Nancy Pierucci-Hastie, Julie Lintz, Lori Uhlig, Christine George, Ruth Lacey, Janice Baker, Kathie Pease, Hilary Bartels, Sue Wessell, Bente Lundh, Anne Kutner-Firestone, Allison Lake, Rachel Robinson Stone, April Long, Linda Ulrich, Donna Perham, Mary Gradinger, Erin Kielty.
