…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.

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.

…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
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 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
…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.

…What Over Thirty Years Of Marriage Teaches You: Before they moved away, I made a point to sit down and tell this couple the influence they had on my life simply because I was in close proximity to them so regularly.

…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
