…Hormones Are Not Just For Puberty: I didn’t know anything about hormones. Honestly...nothing. I didn’t know they corresponded with menstrual cycles, eating habits, moods...everything. I was at a loss until I got married and went on birth control. And then, literally, my life changed. by No One Told Me
39 min listen
…My Mom Won’t Always Buy My Groceries: Alright. We’re getting practical here. I’ve gotten lots of messages about grocery shopping. Personally, I kind of like it. There’s something kind of comforting, soothing even, about walking aisle by aisle. Of course that’s not actually a thing when a o... by No One Told Me

…Marriage Is Easy. And Hard. But Also Easy.: When I got married, I was all about that ‘wifey’ vibe. I mean, I legitimately bought aprons to wear. APRONS. What even? I had great intentions of home cooked meals, fresh laundry, clean bathrooms and snuggling on the couch beneath the glow of Netflix. by No One Told Me
44 min listen
How To Take Care Of My Face: Makeup is not something I ever cared about. I mean I threw on some mascara when I wore pants that buttoned and counted that as dressing up. But then I was squarely in my mid-20s and knew I wanted to walk into work or even the grocery store and occasion... by No One Told Me

How To Walk Through Infertility: Here’s the problem with expectations. We develop this mentality that we’ll exceed all of them. They become hard and fast rules. Not necessarily goals - they become facts. And then, when they go unmet, we face the emotional, by No One Told Me
48 min listen
…The Truth About The Friend Zone: I thought I had forgotten what the Friend Zone was like. I haven’t. And it made me want to pull my shirt over my head and just take a minute to get myself together. My friend Caroline has a few of those stories. We shared our worst ones, by No One Told Me
23 min listen
…Every Mom Is Figuring It Out: Whether you’re a first time mom calling the doctor because your little one’s left earlobe seems slightly smaller than the right one and on various Google search results, that’s a marker for the plague or you’re a 2nd, 3rd, by No One Told Me

What Dress Casual Actually Means: Retail therapy is a thing. A very real thing. But, there’s a difference in buying just to buy, and moving toward an attitude of intentional purchases - specifically where our clothes are involved. Today, I’m talking to the fashion director of a Nashvil... by No One Told Me
45 min listen
…I’d Be Living the Single Life: I’m going to be real honest here...I was flying blind on this episode. I thought of myself as a pretty good matchmaker. No...I don’t have any examples. But, you know, it’s like buying gifts - it’s the thought that counts. Right? Um, apparently, no. by No One Told Me
29 min listen
…Suffering Can Be Sweet: Cancer. Even saying the word, hearing the word - it makes my stomach drop. But when it’s tied to someone you love - it’s hard not just to say or to hear, all of a sudden, you feel it. When that word comes into your life, it’s a permanent marker. by No One Told Me
43 min listen
How To Move Through Life: You know what’s hard? Transitions. You know what no one really tells you is hard? Transitions. Exciting, yes. But hard. What makes the biggest difference in how you navigate these transitions? Community. I met Julianne in college and have watched her w... by No One Told Me

…What The Enneagram Actually Means: Alright, so really, how many times have you heard or read the word enneagram in the past six months? Whether you have a vague knowledge or you’ve researched all there is about your number - this particular episode is for you. by No One Told Me
58 min listen
…Not All Advice Is Good Advice: Listen, there is no shortage of advice out there. Everybody has something to say about every something. Including me, apparently. But, just because everyone wants you to know something doesn’t mean it’s something you need to know. by No One Told Me

Fitness Isn’t A Number: Researchers are finding one of the biggest reasons we don’t exercise is because we feel like it’s all a big comparison game. We’re intimidated by going to the gym. We know comparison robs us of joy, but now, if we’re not careful, by No One Told Me
48 min listen
How To Be A Spouse: The first years of marriage are a lot of just figuring out the other person. How they fold their underwear, why they won’t load the dishwasher the right way and if I stare at your French fries long enough will you give me one. by No One Told Me
43 min listen
How To Like Myself: This episode is based on all the conversations I’ve had with so many women ranging from high school all the way to retirement about the way we see ourselves. And, you know, it’s not just a woman thing. It’s a human thing. by No One Told Me

No One Told Me: Halloween Edition: This special Halloween episode was honestly born out of sitting and talking about stories that make your skin crawl. You know the kind.

35 min listen
How To Pursue Purpose: Purpose didn’t sound so intimidating until I started getting older. It felt more important. Bigger. Checking off a to do list was less satisfying because I didn’t know what those to do’s were really for. I didn’t know the why behind them. by No One Told Me
50 min listen
…How Controlling Anxiety Can Be: Growing up, I generally wasn’t an anxious person. I mean, I worried about who was going to ask me to prom and if my turtleneck gave me a double chin - but my life was never really altered by any of it. Until my mid-20s. by No One Told Me
40 min listen
…I Need Community: When we asked what topics to cover this summer, I was honestly surprised by the amount of people who asked about community. In high school and college, friendships generally come pretty easily, in the sense that you're continually around people in the ... by No One Told Me

32 min listen
…My Hormones Are The Crazy Ones: In today's episode, we're going to go another round on hormones. Hormones impact us physically and emotionally and in ways I think many of us don't even realize. You'll be surprised when you hear some of the causes of what we just deem as "crazy". Dr. by No One Told Me
41 min listen
About Mom Guilt: Honestly, I feel like I’m getting this mom thing wrong more than I’m getting it right. I feel like there’s an unspoken set of expectations that linger out there that everyone else knows how to reach but I don’t. by No One Told Me
48 min listen
…When To Walk Away: If I'm honest, dating is a world I’m a little lost in. I have the most basic answers to the most complicated questions. I’ve brought in some people who can speak to it with a whole lot more wisdom than I can. Today, we’re hearing from Sarah Cain. by No One Told Me
44 min listen
…I Don’t Have To Be Overwhelmed: We don’t have to live overwhelmed lives. Our environments feed our hearts and minds more than we realize. The good news? We can actually control a lot of it. No one told me I don’t have to be overwhelmed. by No One Told Me

Organizing Doesn’t Have To Give Me Hives: I kept getting questions about organizing a house. Spring is coming and we’re starting to look around and realize we have a bunch of stuff. Everywhere. And it needs a place to go other than random piles. I am very good at piling things. by No One Told Me
48 min listen
…Parenting Is Super Hard: After lots of convincing...lots of convincing...my husband, Ryan is finally joining me for an episode! Honestly, we took on parenting blind. Like completely blind. We didn’t read a bunch of books or go to any seminars. by No One Told Me
33 min listen
…About Weariness: As we prepped for this final show of 2018, there were lots of topics we thought we could cover. And interviews lined up to talk about them. But, something in me has been unsettled. Have you ever felt that? A restlessness? by No One Told Me
