Across their conversations with current and former Members of Congress, Aubrey Wilson and Taylor J. Swift asked them, “What do you wish you knew during your freshman term that you know now?” Their answers don’t disappoint! From adjusting to a steep learning curve and the realization that holding a seat in the House is anything but a nine-to-five job, to how to set boundaries and prioritize self-care, this episode is a catch-all of advice from experienced Members to their new peers.
