I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here... What if the stories you loved as a kid were quietly rewriting the rules for an entire generation? In this episode, Julie sits down with Rachelle Bergstein , bestselling author of The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us. Together, they unpack how Judy Blume became an accidental feminist icon, why women’s interests are often dismissed as trivial, and how stories can shape culture and confidence for decades. You’ll hear about: • The through-line between fashion, femininity, and feminism in Rachelle’s work • Judy Blume’s bold move from children’s books to the provocative Wifey • Why book bans are resurging — and why they matter more than ever • How storytelling becomes activism • How to write bravely in a divided world 🎧 Plus, Julie and Dan reflect on growing up with Judy Blume, the complexity of women’s voices, and how confidence starts in the stories we tell ourselves.
