5 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
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
…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
…What To Do When I Don’t Know What To Do: Making decisions only seems to get harder as we get older. The pressures change but the emotions linger...fear and doubt. They give a steady rhythm to our decision making process...or maybe it can be more accurately called our decision-stalling process... by No One Told Me
43 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

…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
38 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
…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
13 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 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
35 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
…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
…Back To School Memories: Here we are, spending too much money on our kid's lunch box so it has their name on it and trying to figure out if we actually have to buy everything on the teacher's supply list. If you're in college, you're trying to figure out if you really need the... by No One Told Me
41 min listen
…I Would Need An Organ Donor: On the majority of the episodes up to this point, I’ve had a vague notion of the subject. Nutrition, anxiety, mom-ing - I knew just enough to be a somewhat meaningful part of the conversation. But not now. You’ll hear the phrases “I didn’t even realize... 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.

…Food Is Our Friend Just Not Our Best Friend: When I graduated high school, I started thinking a little bit about what I ate. I started intentionally exercising. And, slowly, it became an obsession. The problem was, I was just going off what I read on social media and some unhealthy habits that wo... by No One Told Me
46 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

…The Basics: So, today, we’re taking it back to the very basics with one person who has helped shape me, my beloved Mrs. Jacque, who talks about how three years of intentional gratitude has changed her life. And another person joins us who is reminding me of the in... 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
…How To Buy Gifts As An Adult: Buying gifts is real hard. I didn’t realize how hard it was until I was old enough to actually start picking and buying gifts out for friends and family. So I got to thinking - how can I can make this easier this year? by No One Told Me
32 min listen
…The Enneagram Can Help Me: I have learned an insane amount about myself through the Enneagram. I’ve learned the why behind so much of how I respond, how I act, why my emotions get away from me. And based on the response to our last Enneagram episode, by No One Told Me
62 min listen
…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
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
…Dating Isn’t Like The Movies: I knew I needed to do some No One Told Me About Dating...but I had no idea where to start. I think the last book I read about dating relationships was I Kissed Dating Goodbye and most of you would say goodbye to this podcast if I used that as my base. by No One Told Me
47 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
14 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
