EP10 I Thought I'd Know By Now...Dear Younger Me | Season 1 Finale
We made it to Episode 10! 🥹🎙️
For the Season 1 finale, I’m looking back at a few different versions of Rencee—the girl from Trinidad, Ecuador Rencee, Barcelona Rencee, Madrid Rencee, Party Rencee 😂 and the woman who eventually found herself building a life in Lugo.
There are things I wish I could tell each of them...and some things I'm glad they got to figure out for themselves.
Ten episodes later, I still don't know by now. But maybe I'm becoming a little more okay with that. 🤍
Thank you for listening, laughing, reflecting and figuring it out with me through Season 1.
What would you tell a younger version of yourself?

EP09 I Thought I'd Know By Now... Who Would've Thought!?
Sometimes life doesn't give you what you had pictured.
And sometimes… that might not be such a bad thing. 👀
In Episode 9, I'm looking back at an unexpected chapter, the chances we almost don't take, and what can happen when we're willing to loosen our grip on the plan just a little.
Because chileeeee…
Who would've thought? 😂🤍

EP08 I Thought I'd Know By Now... Keep it Pushing!
Sometimes nothing goes wrong… you just know it’s time to move on.
In Episode 8, I’m reflecting on leaving Madrid, a city that had been incredibly good to me, simply because I knew I was ready for something different. I thought that “something different” was going to be sunshine and beaches in Málaga… but God clearly had other plans. 😂
This episode is about knowing when to keep it pushing, trusting yourself when a chapter feels complete, and having the courage to move even when you don’t know exactly where you’ll land.
Because leaving doesn’t always mean something failed. Sometimes, it simply means something finished. 🤍

EP07 I Thought I'd Know By Now...Switching Up Without Apology!!
Party Rencee stayed READY. 😂 But somewhere between Ecuador, Madrid, growing up and spending more time with myself, the things that once filled my cup started to change.
Episode 7 is about giving yourself permission to evolve — without rejecting who you used to be or apologising for who you’re becoming.
Because if somebody tells me, “You’ve changed”…
Hopefully! 😂

EP06 I Thought I'd Know By Now...Becoming My Own Safety Net
Madrid was where independence got REAL.
From paying bills and constantly getting lost on the metro to building a home and community thousands of miles away from Trinidad, Episode 6 is about the chapter that taught me I could figure things out — maybe not immediately, and definitely not gracefully, but eventually. 😂
A reflection on adulthood, independence, finding your people and learning to become your own safety net.

EP05 I Thought I'd Know By Now......Adulting at it's Finest
Adulting... nobody warned me it would come with apartment hunting, navigating airports alone, learning metro systems, making life-changing decisions, and trying to keep my sanity during a global pandemic!
In Episode 5 of I Thought I'd Know By Now, I share the story of leaving my host family, spending a summer in the beautiful countryside of Vic, Catalunya, and taking my biggest leap yet,moving to Madrid completely on my own.

EP04 I Thought I'd Know By Now....Peace and Preparation
During one of the most uncertain periods of my life, I thought I was simply trying to survive and figure out my next move. What I didn't realize was that God was already preparing the path ahead of me. In this episode, I share how a temporary move to a farm in Vic, Catalunya became a season of healing, preparation, unexpected friendships, and answered prayers that I almost forgot to count. Sometimes the detour is the destination, and sometimes the waiting season is where the real work happens.

EP03 I Thought I'd Know By Now....The Little Garden
I arrived in Spain ready for adventure, new experiences, and weekend trips around Europe. What I didn't expect was a global pandemic, closed borders, and months of uncertainty. In this episode, I reflect on COVID-19, the families who became my home away from home, and the faith that carried me through a season that changed all of us forever.

I thought I'd Know by Now......The detour that changed everything.
Episode 1: The Detour That Changed Everything
There was a time when I thought I knew exactly what my life would look like.
Instead, I found myself in an unhealthy relationship, praying one simple prayer:
"God... please get me out."
What I didn't realize was that His answer wouldn't look anything like I expected.
In this very first episode of I Thought I'd Know By Now, I'm sharing the story of how a volunteer opportunity in Ecuador, an unexpected friendship, and a one-way ticket to Spain became the beginning of a completely different life than the one I had planned.
Looking back, I can see how God was quietly working through every unexpected turn, even when I couldn't see it in the moment.
If you've ever felt like life hasn't gone according to plan—or wondered if God is still working in the middle of the detours , I hope this conversation reminds you that sometimes the path you never would have chosen becomes the one that changes everything.
Leaving an unhealthy relationship
Trusting God when you can't see the whole picture
How Ecuador unexpectedly led me to Spain
Looking back and recognizing God's faithfulness
Why it's okay if life doesn't look the way you imagined
