Welcome to If Only I Were Wiser Podcast! Your host, Reyna Wilson, joins you in this space in the search for wisdom in the dogmatic and discouraging world of wellness. After so many years of searching for the "right" answers to be truly healthy, I found more healing in the whispers, prayers and real life of women in my community. This is a place where wisdom can be shared in the hopes to speak truth over our younger selves, to create healing in mind, body + soul.
From Overwhelmed to Aligned: Redefining Safety, Healing & Wellness | The Mending Co. x Hannah + Sarah
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Hannah Wells and Sarah Smith, the practitioners behind The Mending—a virtual wellness collaborative focused on root-cause, personalized healing. Both Hannah and Sarah share their deeply personal stories of navigating years of diagnoses, symptoms, and frustration within both holistic and allopathic medicine. Their journeys led them to a quieter, more discerning approach to wellness—one rooted in listening to the body, integrating science and soul, and resisting the pressure to chase every trending protocol. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure where to begin in your health choices, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward.

A Redemptive Homebirth Cesarean: Our Planned VBAC That Took a Different Road | Reyna + Joseph Wilson
In this episode, I’m sharing the raw and vulnerable truth behind our second baby’s arrival — a birth center VBAC that slowly shifted into a hospital transfer and ultimately, a homebirth cesarean. It wasn’t the outcome we imagined or prayed for, but it became a story marked by redemption in ways I never expected.
If you’ve ever walked through a birth that didn’t go “to plan,” or you’re preparing for a VBAC, or you simply want to feel less alone in the unexpected, this episode is for you.
