Ever spiral after a text, blame yourself for something you’re not sure was your fault, or obsess over a moment days later? You’re not alone. In this episode, I talk through the question so many of us with ADHD constantly ask ourselves: Is it me… or is it my ADHD? I share a recent situation with a mom friend that had me second-guessing everything, and how ADHD shows up in my life through overthinking, memory lapses, people-...
In this solo episode, I open up about my third boob surgery — what went wrong with the first two, what I’ve learned, and why I’m finally done with big boobs.
I also share the chaos behind Miami Swim Week, from getting my period right before walking the runway to failing miserably at trying to “prep” for it by cutting out sugar (spoiler: I just ended up bingeing carbs by 7p every night).
Caroline gets right into it about why staying together for the kids is a myth, how children speed up the inevitable, and why the idea of a “fun baby” is pure propaganda. We talk blending families, building businesses, becoming different versions of yourself, and that time her husband programmed her phone to scream “WE NEED A BABY” every day at noon.
She shares her advice for women starting over, her favorite misconception (...
Anna’s back and we’re talking about my new relationship—the first one that actually feels easy in all the right ways.
We get into dom/sub dynamics, weird DMs from a guy offering to work for free, and Anna warning me I’m gonna get blackmailed. My response? “So he’s going to be making all my social media assets for me for free… with a boner? That’s fine with me.”
Also: dating rules, sleeping together early, and how in ma...
From the I Wish You Knew Podcast, Adam Smith and Andrey Korikov break down why modern relationships are struggling—and what we can do to fix them.

We break down why conflict isn’t something to avoid—but the key to building trust. Plus, why the d...
You probably know her as The Bachelorette, but there’s so much more to Hannah Brown than roses and reality TV.
In this episode, Hannah opens up about everything from falling in love with Adam when she wasn’t looking, to living apart, to building a relationship grounded in faith, values, and a whole lot of growth. We talk about heartbreak, healing, boundaries, and what it really takes to know your worth—whether the cam...
My dad almost married someone else before my mom — but then they had a shotgun wedding! In this unfiltered episode, I confront my dad about the way he approaches my dating life, ask my parents how they really felt about my divorce, and dig into the chaos of being raised by a black cat (my mom) and a golden retriever (my dad).
Viola trauma (yes, I still have PTSD), rebellious teen years, Tokyo tours, and babysitters who said...
Ever have one of those days where everyone’s annoying and you’re like, maybe I’m just PMSing? Same.
In this episode, I get real about everything — my progression in a new relationship (we’re starting to get over the hump of the honeymoon phase), a heartbreaking story that’s been weighing on me, and why this summer is the summer of me. I also share the chaos of Mother’s Day, what I’d do differently in my 20s, and how things ...
Did you know in your late 20s everything shifts? You’re definitely not alone. In this episode, Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams get real about what’s happening during your Saturn Return—that intense, cosmic phase between ages 27 and 30 that shakes up your world.

In this episode, I share the real story of how I met my boyfriend—and let me tell you, I didn’t follow any of my dating rules! If you want to find your person, you have to date. But learning how to date isn’t easy. With so many so expert rules out there, part of the journey is figuring out which ones actually work for you. I also open up about his past—yes, he dated Kristin Cavallari—and the hesitations I had around his re...

Holistic nutritionist and wellness expert Kelly LeVeque shares her science-backed approach to feeling your best—starting with why protein should always come first. It’s the key to managing hunger, boosting energy, and supporting metabolism—and most women (and kids!) aren’t getting enough.
Kelly also opens up about the real-life challenges of...
This episode is unfiltered and unapologetic—nothing’s off limits. We’re talking ex etiquette, relationships, and whether you’re the black cat or the golden retriever. I spill the tea on my new relationship and Sophia shares why she might’ve waited longer to go public. Dating in the public eye brings pressure, opinions, and one real truth: if you want your relationship to work, you can make it work. And as my boyfriend says...
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Durana Elmi, co-founder and COO of Cymbiotika—the wellness brand reshaping the supplement industry and redefining leadership through innovation, empowerment, and holistic wellness.

Are you tired of asking, ‘Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?’ or ‘How do I find someone who’s actually right for me?’ The truth? It starts with you. In this honest episode, we explore the powerful idea that the common denominator in all your relationships is you—not because you're the problem, but because you are the starting point for real change.

Anna Kai is back, and we wasted no time jumping into all the things — including digging up old emails we actually sent to our exes (yes, we read them out loud). We get into everything from Big Dick Energy (BDE) and the truth about dating confidence, to awkward hookups and what really matters in relationships. It’s the kind of convo you’d have with your best girlfriend: funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly therapeutic....
Vanessa & Xander are back to break down the sex stuff nobody ever teaches you—but everyone should know. We’re talking scheduling sex without feeling like you’re booking a dentist appointment, why wetness isn’t a performance review, and yes… the great queef debate (because we all need to stop acting like it’s a tragedy). We also get into why soap should never go near your vulva (seriously, please stop), how to figure ou...
Everyone's talking about drinking less these days—and not just your friend who's "sober curious" until Saturday night. There's a real shift happening, especially among younger generations, and today's guest, James Swanwick, is here for it. He shares how cutting out booze changed his life (spoiler: it got way better) and why he doesn't think AA is the only-or best-option out there. If you've ever questioned your relationshi...
This week, I’m taking you inside my Costa Rica adventure, where I said yes to Peyote and ended up laughing, crying, and questioning all my life choices—sometimes all at once. After a recent Ketamine therapy session cracked my heart wide open (in a good way), I found myself craving a deeper spiritual connection and little space from it all… so apparently, that meant hopping on a plane and trying a new plant medicine. My exp...
