What happens when two California girls pack up their lives and head East for new adventures in the Southern states? Join us in this lively episode of Fearlessly Female as we recount our personal journeys from California's beaches to the heart of Alabama and Tennessee. Learn about our motivations for making such big moves—Megan's leap for love and a career change, and Brittany's pursuit of an exciting job opportunity. We share the cultural shocks we faced and the unique dynamics within our new communities, offering a candid look at how these transitions have reshaped our lives and deepened our friendship.
Ever wondered how to build a sense of community in a new place? Megan's no-drama drinking club, Années Folles, became a sanctuary for women seeking genuine connections without the typical book club facade. On the other hand, Brittany found her tribe among co-workers who juggle demanding corporate jobs and family responsibilities like pros. We also touch on the glaring absence of good ethnic food in the South, as well as some funny cultural quirks—like Megan's struggle with Alabama's traffic norms—that make life in the South uniquely entertaining.
From culinary delights to weather extremes, our stories capture the essence of Southern living versus our Californian roots. Experience the thrill of tornado season with our lighthearted Megan Emergency Guide System (MEGS) and hear our take on the vastly different pace of life in the South compared to California. We chat about everything from the scarcity of decent Mexican, Indian, and Asian cuisine to the Southern staples we've come to adore. Listen in for laughs, reflections, and a genuine glimpse into the wild, wonderful world of moving South.
