Now That I’m Here is a podcast about figuring life out in your late 20s — especially when you’re building that life far from home. Hosted by Mandy Wecksten, a Texan living in Finland, this show explores the messy in-between of growing up: shifting timelines, identity, relationships, mental health, and the big question of where (and how) you actually want to live. It’s not about having the answers — it’s about learning to build a life that actually feels like yours. INSTAGRAM: @mandywecksten YOUTUBE: @mandywecksten

Building a Life Together While Still Figuring Out Your Own

When I got married, I didn’t have everything figured out — not where we’d live, when we’d have kids, or what my career would look like. (Honestly, I still don’t.) But I did know I wanted to build a life with Marcus.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it’s like to commit before you feel “ready,” why marriage hasn’t meant the end of figuring myself out, and how partnership can actually give you more room to grow, not less.

Because building a life with someone doesn’t mean you stop building your own — sometimes it’s exactly what makes you feel safe enough to keep becoming who you are.
