"What I Don't Want You to Know" is a podcast that dares to explore the hidden, unspoken truths that often lie beneath the surface of human experiences. In a world where we tend to share the more presentable aspects of our lives under the label of "what I want you to know," this podcast delves into the uncomfortable and vulnerable truths that are often kept concealed.
Each episode takes guests and listeners through 5 questions - "what I want you to know" "what I don't want you to know" "why I didn't want you to know" "what I've learnt from sharing (what I don't want you to know)" and "what I'm working on at the moment".
“What I Don't Want You to Know" is realm of complex truths, messiness, awkwardness, humour, and sincere dialogue. We believe that it’s these courageous and candid conversations that actually allow us to heal + grow. There’s something so liberating in getting free from what has previously held us back…
We also hope that this podcast inspires a little more bravery in the world…

Welcome to Episode 8 of "What I don't want you to know..."
Today, we have a delicious morsel of an episode and an incredible human to share with you. To us, she is affectionately known as "Jax,” but you may know her as Jacqui Toumbas—a passionate foodie, content creator, and retreat host with a rich Greek heritage.
In this heartfelt conversation, we dive deep into Jacqui's multifaceted journey. From cafe owner to full-time content creator, Jacqui opens up about her experiences balancing her love for food, family, and her cultural roots.
This episode takes a courageous turn as Jacqui bravely discusses her journey of freezing her eggs. She candidly shares the challenges she faced, including societal expectations, body image issues, and the physical and emotional toll of hormone treatments.
Our conversation goes global, with Jacqui recounting her transformative trip to Italy, a pivotal moment where she learned to truly love and accept herself. She delves into the fear of rejection and how embracing vulnerability became her superpower.
Grab a cup of tea (or wine, or whatever floats your boat), as we explore the importance of understanding oneself, the impact of societal pressures, and the joy of living authentically. Jacqui's journey reminds us that there's no rulebook for life and that embracing our true selves can lead to profound personal growth and fulfilment.
Thank you beautiful “Jax”, for the smorgasbord of insights and awakenings… we are full to the brim with inspiration and gratitude.
As always, go gently,
Em & Tan xx
