Whether you’ve been to a wedding, have been in a wedding or you’re the reason the wedding is happening in the first place...this episode is the real deal when it comes to talking through the planning, the juggling and the real or imagined pressure you feel to dance to songs other than the Cupid Shuffle. We talked about it all in No One Told Me What Really Matters About Weddings.

Making decisions only seems to get harder as we get older. The pressures change but the emotions linger...fear and doubt. They give a steady rhythm to our decision making process...or maybe it can be more accurately called our decision-stalling process. How I walk into these seasons of my life has been completely changed by the insight Pastor Don has been pouring into my life over the past year. I think you’ll feel the same after this episode.

Do you really need to know everything in this episode? That’s debatable. It’s a chance to take a breath, realize there’s room in your day to remember some things you’ve tried to forget - like my “I’m becoming an adult haircut” from my first year out of college - and admit you actually do have strong opinions about what should and should not have the word pumpkin on it. Coming up are just few things to put in your “I don’t know what to say right now so here is some random information” pocket on Did Anyone Tell You?

In today's episode, we're going to go another round on hormones. Hormones impact us physically and emotionally and in ways I think many of us don't even realize. You'll be surprised when you hear some of the causes of what we just deem as "crazy". Dr. Mariza Snyder is a hormone specialist with loads of information. This episode's goal is to give you a foundation in hormone health, to really learn why they matter, and more specifically, why they matter to your every day life. Here's No One Told Me My Hormones Are The Crazy Ones.

My friend Lyndsey will be a mom for the first time late this fall and she has some questions. Those questions led to others she didn’t even know to ask. I pulled in my friend, Natalie, a trained labor/delivery nurse and mom of three. We’re just going to mom-splain a few things and pull back the curtain on this whole “I’m going to bring a human being into the world” thing. Here’s No One Told Me About Becoming A Mom.

In our longest and hardest seasons, we forget about the seasons we’ve already walked through that were tough...but worth it. We think, all of a sudden, goodness has run out for us. We are no longer worthy of or willing to wait for the better. We settle in. Settling keeps us from great. It leaves us in the land of just okay. Last year, Caroline jumped on an episode about being Friend Zoned and all the ups and downs of living that single adult life. And here we sit, a year later, with a very different story to tell.

Do you know how many children are waiting for homes in your city? The answer will surprise you. It surprised me. Foster care can feel intimidating, but my friend, Amy, and her daughter, Lexy, show us why a home matters.

We don’t have to live overwhelmed lives. Our environments feed our hearts and minds more than we realize. The good news? We can actually control a lot of it. No one told me I don’t have to be overwhelmed.

When we asked what topics to cover this summer, I was honestly surprised by the amount of people who asked about community. In high school and college, friendships generally come pretty easily, in the sense that you're continually around people in the same stage of life as you, mostly dealing with the same things you're dealing with. But then you get older and everything that was so easily lined up gets trickier. Your best friend gets married, and then your other friend gets married and before you know it you're literally a bridesmaid 27 times before you've even met anyone marriage material. Or you're married and you're the first of…

Here we are, spending too much money on our kid's lunch box so it has their name on it and trying to figure out if we actually have to buy everything on the teacher's supply list. If you're in college, you're trying to figure out if you really need the books for class, or if you should've read the assigned reading that, come on professors, you know we're not reading. To celebrate, or commiserate, back to school I've got my teacher friend, Kristin, and old faithful, Brooke, on our first episode of Season Two! I wonder how Brooke's going to feel about me calling her 'old faithful'. It's a compliment,…
