Do you remember the days growing up where things were just...simpler? Couldn't wait to be an adult and do all the things you couldn't as a kid? Had wild dreams of what adulting would look like? Then...fast forward to 40+ and you have these WTF moments basically every day? We talk about all the things that no one warns us about growing up and how the right people can help you get through the best and worst of it. So come along and join us for another episode as we dive into anything and everything adulting has thrown at us!
Cramps. Cravings. Mood swings. Surprise appearances. And let's not forget the absolute joy of trying to figure out what the hell our bodies are doing.
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're talking about periods — the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. From our first experiences with that time of the month to the changes, frustrations, and downright ridiculous moments that come with having a menstrual cycle, we're sharing the things we've learned (and the things we're still trying to figure out).
We're getting real about the physical symptoms, emotional roller coasters, and how our relationships with our bodies change as we get older. Because just when you think you've finally figured out your cycle, your body decides to rewrite the rules.
And after decades of dealing with all of it, we have just one question:
Are we done yet?

Sorry not Sorry!
Sorry we're late. Sorry to bother you. Sorry for asking. Sorry for saying sorry. Sound familiar?
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're talking about our complicated relationship with the word "sorry" and why so many of us apologize for things that don't actually require an apology.
From people-pleasing and avoiding conflict to feeling responsible for everyone else's comfort, we're exploring how apologizing became such an automatic habit, why it's so hard to break, and what happens when we start questioning whether we're actually sorry at all.
We're sharing our own experiences, laughing at the ridiculous things we apologize for, and talking about the difference between taking accountability and making ourselves smaller just to keep the peace.
Because there's a time and place for a genuine apology. But apologizing for having needs, opinions, or simply taking up space?
Sorry, not sorry.

The Sandwich Generation
Remember when our parents were the adults who had all the answers? Somewhere along the way, the roles started to reverse.
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're talking about the Sandwich Generation — navigating the responsibilities of raising children while also facing the emotional and practical challenges of caring for aging parents.
From watching our parents grow older to making difficult decisions, balancing everyone's needs, and figuring out where our own lives fit into the equation, this stage of adulthood comes with responsibilities we weren't necessarily prepared for.
We're having an honest conversation about the guilt, frustration, love, exhaustion, and complicated emotions that come with changing family roles. Because sometimes being an adult means realizing the people you've always leaned on might now need to lean on you.
And no one really warns you how hard that part can be.

Las Vegas, Music and Memory Lane
What happens when a trip to Las Vegas turns into a full-blown trip down memory lane?
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're recapping our Vegas adventures, the concert that transported us straight back to our younger years, and the music that somehow becomes the soundtrack to our lives.
From childhood memories and songs we haven't heard in years to the way music can instantly change our mood, we're talking about why certain songs stick with us, why they bring back feelings we thought we'd forgotten, and how one familiar beat can take us right back to a completely different time in our lives.
Because apparently all it takes is a little Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, and En Vogue to remind us that we may be getting older, but the soundtrack is still pretty damn good.

Mac and Cheese and Unsolved Mysteries
Who knew mac and cheese could be such a controversial topic? Apparently, we have some very different opinions about how this childhood staple should actually be made. And yes, we're willing to argue about it.
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're revisiting some of the things that shaped our childhoods, from questionable food preferences to the TV shows we probably had no business watching at such a young age. And apparently, Unsolved Mysteries played a surprisingly significant role in shaping Amanda into the person she is today.
We're talking childhood memories, the things that stuck with us, and how two best friends who grew up together can somehow remember and experience things so differently.
Because nothing says lifelong friendship quite like arguing over mac and cheese decades later.

Content. What do you consume?
What are you consuming? Shows, podcasts, books, endless scrolling—we all have something playing, streaming, or sitting on our nightstand. This week, we’re talking about the content we consume while multitasking, unwinding, learning, or just trying to get through life.

Skincare & Supplements
Skincare. Supplements. Serums. Vitamins. Collagen. Creatine. And somehow we're supposed to know what all of this does?
In this episode of No One Warned Us, we're talking about the absolute full-time job that is trying to take care of yourself as an adult. From skincare routines and the products we swear by (or have absolutely no idea if they're doing anything), to supplements, wellness trends, and the never-ending stream of things we're told we should be taking.
We're sharing what we've tried, what works for us, what we're still figuring out, and why keeping up with all of it sometimes feels like it should come with a salary.
Because apparently washing your face and taking a multivitamin wasn't complicated enough.

Welcome to the Podcast - The Journey so Far
Welcome to No One Warned Us — the podcast about all the things adulthood somehow forgot to mention.
In our first episode, we're introducing ourselves, talking about how this podcast came to be, and looking back at the journey that got us here. We're best friends who have known each other since first grade, and after decades of friendship, life, relationships, careers, growing up (allegedly), and figuring things out as we go, we finally decided to put microphones in front of us.
This is just the beginning. Expect honest conversations, plenty of laughs, wildly different opinions, and all the things no one warned us about.
