We’re starting with this surprise episode - a summer recap Did Anyone Tell You, which is just an installment we do every now and then to equip you with information that only proves useful to fill in the uncomfortable silences of a Zoom call or prove to those younger than you that you are still cool even though you’ve really gotten into the art of crochet lately. Okay, that’s me. I’m talking about me. Two of my favorite people, Kaley and Khari, are here to talk about what’s worth watching on one of your 40 streaming platforms, Taylor Swift’s absurd abilities to turn out an album in secret and, my personal favorite, that I probably took too far - Hamilton. I GET IT THAT WAS LIKE A MONTH AGO, BUT I’M STILL LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK AND I NEEDED TO KNOW MORE.

The last episode of season two developed about six months ago when I was laying in the middle of the living room floor crying while my kids napped. What I thought would happen...didn’t. What I wanted to happen...didn’t. And I wasn’t sure what forward looked like. My battle to get to the other side was just beginning. You will face a season you didn’t see coming, a time you want to just skip past - what will you do? What did you do? Let’s talk about it.

This episode is a story. A story of a lot of pain, loss, uncertainty. And I think it will speak most to what no one tells us about loss as a mom. My friend Melanie speaks with such painful honesty - I know many will relate. So, if you know someone who maybe wants to avoid Mother’s Day, or someone who has felt the loss that is a miscarriage or infertility - share this with them. Let this be how they know they're seen. Here's No One Told Me About Moms and Loss.

A conversation about mental health while Staying At Home: What do you do when the world is swaying? There's no shame or guilt in admitting something's wrong. The way you feel right now will not be forever. Take this time to ask: What was I doing because I thought I had to but I really don't? ...And a whole lot more!

Some of us are just a few weeks in and some are months into this at-home season. We though it was time for a check in. Many of you shared how you're doing and what your life looks like. And then myself and Brooke just go right into quarantine grocery staples, what's normal now and really, how much damage are we going to do to our kids in this season?

Instead of releasing an episode specific to right now, the chaos of work life led me to pull from the reserves. And what I came out with was an interview with Phylicia Masonheimer. Even though it was recorded at the end of February, it’s almost eerie how relevant it is right now. So much of what we talked about matters even more now. Here’s my conversation with Phylicia Masonheimer.

Who are we going to be on the other side of all of this? Everyone will have a different story to tell...but our perspective through it will probably help shape our perception after it. I found myself getting a little too lost in the news and stats of it all, so I decided this week, we'd all take a breath. Sit and talk a little bit with some of our No One Told Me favorites, Kaley and Khari. We'll talk about what we're learning about ourselves right now, who we think we'll be on the other side, the intense amount of content we're taking in - what's the best and what can we do without - and about how all of a sudden those neighbors who refused to make eye contact are walking themselves all the way down the driveway for a little chat while you're in the middle of your morning run. Let's just shoot the breeze together a little bit in Did Anyone Tell You: At Home Edition.

So now what? What do we do with all the feelings and uncertainties? Let’s figure it out.

Two of NOTM’s originals are back again today. We’ve had some incredible guests over the past few months, but it felt right to bring some NOTM family in to talk about the realities of life. What our 20's feel like vs our 30's aka listening to everyone’s opinion as fact vs learning to comb through what actually applies to you. Then we go into listener questions that, honestly, were just a good time. Here’s No One Told Me: Listener Questions.

Today’s conversation is for anyone who tries hard to prove themselves, for anyone who wants to step toward what God has called them to, for anyone who leads or will lead in the future, for anyone who wants to empower those coming behind you. I hit record with the plan to prep her for the interview but our conversation started rolling immediately. Forget the get-to-know-you part, Gina started speaking encouragement into my heart from the moment the call started. And I think she’ll do the same for you. Here's No One Told Me With Gina McClain.
