What I Wish I Knew...

What I Wish I Knew… is a weekly conversation rooted in hindsight, honesty, and growth. Each episode explores a new topic and the lessons we learned the hard way—what surprised us, what challenged us, and what we wish someone had told us sooner. Some weeks it’s just us reflecting on lived experience. Other weeks, we invite guests to share insights from paths we haven’t walked yet. No experts pretending to have it all figured out—just real people, real stories, and wisdom worth passing on.

If you’ve ever overthought a post or fallen into the comparison trap, this one’s for you.

...before I tried to balance work and home life 09.03.2026

Before we tried to balance work and home life, we thought “balance” meant doing everything well at the same time. In reality? It often feels more like a constant juggling act. In this episode, we talk about the pressure to succeed at work while still being present at home, the guilt that comes with both, and the boundaries we’ve had to learn along the way.

...before advocating for my health as a woman 02.03.2026

In this episode, we’re talking about something too many women experience but don’t talk about enough — advocating for yourself in healthcare. From being dismissed, talked over, or told “it’s just stress,” to learning how to ask better questions and push for answers… we’re sharing what we wish we knew before walking into appointments feeling small. This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about being...

In this episode, we’re talking about what we wish we knew before setting boundaries. Spoiler alert: boundaries aren’t mean, selfish, or dramatic… but they can feel that way at first. We’re sharing the uncomfortable truths, the pushback we didn’t expect, the guilt that followed, and why setting boundaries changed everything for us. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overextended, or afraid of disappo...

...before saying yes to everything 09.02.2026

At some point, saying yes to everything starts to feel like saying no to yourself. We’re diving into what we wish we knew before overcommitting, people-pleasing, and carrying more than we were meant to.

...before giving birth 26.01.2026

In this episode, we share a real, unfiltered conversation about birth: the surprises, the emotions, the things no one prepared us for, and how different every experience can be. From expectations vs. reality to the physical and emotional sides of labor and delivery, we talk about what we wish we’d known going in. No fear-mongering. No “right way.” Just real stories and a reminder that your birth e...

...before getting pregnant 19.01.2026

Getting pregnant is often painted as magical… but there’s so much no one talks about until you’re living it. In this episode we’re sharing the things we truly wish we had known before getting pregnant —from the emotional shifts and physical changes to the expectations, fears, and surprises that caught us off guard. Whether you’re trying, expecting, or just curious about what the journey really loo...

...before turning 30 12.01.2026

They tell you 30 is scary—but they don’t tell you why it can be freeing. In this episode, we break down what we wish we knew before turning 30 —about life, relationships, expectations, and ourselves. Honest, relatable, and a little comforting—this one hits home.
