In this episode, I chat with another amazing woman about her life's journey so far. We dive into missed opportunities, career pivots, managing your expectations of others, and most importantly, sewing seeds into the young people in your life. Mary and I discuss her very special relationship with her niece and how she provides for and supports her niece. If you are not a biological parent, there are other kids in your life who need your wisdom and support. What I learned from our conversation is to look beyond my kids and help other parents around other children in my life and me. I also learned to be more curious about the people in my life.

What I Wish I Knew About Aging. Embracing Our Authentic Self and Loving the Body you Have

I am Nikki, a mom of two. I believe that our childhood experiences shape us as adults and can help empower our knowledge and actions as parents. 
Are there things you wish someone had told you the truth about? Things you had to learn on your own but the experience would have been much easier if someone had warned you about it or told you the honest truth about it.
I wish I knew more about things. I wish I knew more about marriage before I got married, or I wish I knew more about parenting before I became a parent. 

In each episode, we’ll have conversations with other women, and sometimes men, about childhood lessons learned and lessons lost and how they impact us. Hear from real women as they discuss relationships with their mothers, their relationships with their children, what they learned from their mothers, what they teach their children. We dive into other relationships, like marriage, relationships with other women, struggles with anxiety, fear of failure, and successes.
 What I Wish is an excellent opportunity to learn from other women and hear how all mothers have shared experiences. Are you ready to find deep meaning in parenting?

We’ll share real-life tips and approaches to navigating life, using what we wish we knew to help us be better parents and better to ourselves. My goal is to help mothers and daughters have a good relationship from a young age into adulthood.
