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.
In this episode, we’re talking about our relationship with social media—how we use it, how it affects us, and the things we wish we knew before being online so much. From scrolling habits to posting pressure, we’re sharing the real side of social media and how we’re learning to use it in a healthier way.
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
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
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 informed, prepared, and confident enough to speak up for your own body.
If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling unheard, this one is for you.

...before setting boundaries
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 disappointing people — this one’s for you.
