The Power of 'No' 24:16

Play Pause

5M ago24:16

24:16

A recent talk with a friend inspired my train of thought. He mentioned how every no that he has gotten in his life, allowed him to be where he is right now - and while processing nos are difficult and often hurt in real time, when time is taken to reflect on your life, you'd see just how powerful those nos were. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren…

S3 E2 My Abortion Experience 27:54

1y ago27:54

27:54

This, by far, is the hardest episode I have recorded. Not just because of the experience of having an abortion but sharing this experience with others - ya girl is scared.

S3 E1 My First Outing 14:07

14:07

This feels so foreign, to go through the whole process of recording and uploading an episode, but here we are. In the beginning, on Oct 23rd, I stopped recording because it felt (and still does feel) weird to carry on life while several genocides are occurring around the world. So I took a break. However, little did I know what life had in store fo…

1:38:15

In a world that consistently tells us who we are, what we should be doing, and how we should be doing it, it makes it easy to see where a lot of our anxieties and doubts stem from. In my case, there have been several moments where I would allow comparisons to rule me and force me to think what I am doing is not good enough. That isn't the case. Wha…
