Welcome to If Only I Were Wiser Podcast! Your host, Reyna Wilson, joins you in this space in the search for wisdom in the dogmatic and discouraging world of wellness.

This is a place where wisdom can be shared in the hopes to speak truth over our younger selves, to create healing in mind, body + soul.
