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 (cold-hearted bitch, and proud), and the red flags she’s flying high in her own relationship (ignoring her husband and loving it - ha!). Oh, and if your man loves his mom too much... maybe run? (Kidding... kinda.)

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 marriage, you either grow together or grow apart.

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. From the neuroscience behind attachment to the biology of bonding (yes, men and women really do connect differently), we explore how stress, sex, and communication shape connection.

We break down why conflict isn’t something to avoid—but the key to building trust. Plus, why the divorce rate is falling not because relationships are thriving, but because younger generations have stopped marrying altogether. Most people don’t know what a healthy relationship looks like—let alone how to be a partner.

Adam shares his CEO–COO model: a high-functioning partnership framework rooted in shared purpose, executive-level communication, and teamwork. We also discuss actionable strategies to connect with avoidant partners, communicate clearly, and rebuild the lost relational skills our culture has forgotten.

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 cameras are rolling or not.

Plus, Hannah gives us a peek into her new book, The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain (hello, beach read of the summer!), how writing fiction helped her exaggerate her own chaos (in the best way), and why “doing it scared” is her motto—even when her Type A brain is like, “Wait, what are we doing?”

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 'no thanks' after finding out there were five of us — nothing’s off-limits.

Plus: we wrap it all up with rapid-fire Gen Z questions that will leave you on the floor!

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 with Zac have gotten more serious (yes, he met the kids!).

It’s weird how things can change overnight — and it’s a good reminder for anyone who’s single, going through a breakup, or just wishing life felt different. I went from being very single and struggling to date to finally feeling like I have a solid plan.
