Clear phones, landlines, and iPhones—oh my! Friends are important, but friends our age keep us sane! Joy chats with one of her best friends, someone who understands exactly where she's been because he’s been there too. Special Guest: Craig Clifton-Penney.

No, but really. "Who is that guy at the end of every podcast? The Producer James guy? How do you know him? And what does he do for the podcast?" This is easily the most common question about Little Things Big Feelings and some will be answered today! Very special guest: Producer James. 

Sometimes, we have to ratchet up our enjoyment of the little things in life, or else the boredom of the day-to-day wins. Tap dancing, babies in Halloween costumes, and theme parties to the rescue! Come with Joy to talk about the little things that keep her afloat!

We all have them, but for some reason they always sneak up on Joy and that throws her. Gather all your sympathy and join her right in the middle of a very bad day. 

Joy isn't the only one with big feelings, and she wants to hear what yours are! Turns out, this thing where everyone in every job wants a tip is on top of the list. Want to share your big feelings? Leave a voicemail at (214) 519-9373. 

Joy lets you in on what it takes to embarrass her. You'll also get a glimpse of what it's like to be her neighbor. Grab a glass of wine (or two) and let's go! 

Joy's friend Nikki is back, sharing the fascinating journey of meeting her biological family as an adult. She shares how she found them and what she thought of the adoption storyline on This Is Us. With special guest Nikki Spurlock. 

Joy chats with one of her longest friends (don't call her oldest!) Nikki. It may have been 30 years since they ruled Six Flags and the tetherball court, but it's like no time has passed. Be one of the cool kids and hang out with us! With special guest Nikki Spurlock.   

Second to Santa, Mom is the absolute rock star of the Christmas season. Baking, shopping, wrapping and planning. So why do we overlook her when it's time to fill the stockings? Joy thinks it's time for that to change. 

Is the world losing all their manners? Or is Joy completely out of touch? Put on your hats and fancy gloves and let's discuss!
