No one tells you that peace can feel strange that healing isn’t loud, dramatic, or magical. Sometimes, it’s just quiet. It’s doing the same small things every day and realizing the chaos is gone.

In this episode, Kauthar talks about the stillness that follows healing the “boring” side of growth that no one prepares you for. The part where peace feels uncomfortable, and calm feels empty, but deep down… it’s exactly what you prayed for.

Ever been almost chosen? This one’s for the girl who gave her all and still ended up watching the wedding from the outside.

In this episode, I talk about how I went from almost to done and how that chapter changed everything.

It’s messy, emotional, funny in the worst way, and real in the best way. Because healing isn’t always graceful, but it’s always honest.

In this episode, I’m done shrinking myself to make other people comfortable. I’m talking about the habits, choices, emotions and boundaries we’ve been guilted into apologizing for and why that stops

now. This isn’t about anger, it’s about self-respect. If you’ve ever said “sorry” for simply being yourself, this one’s for you.

We’re getting real about the silent exhaustion of always being there for others and realizing nobody shows up for you the same way. The unnoticed burnout. The disappointment. The loneliness that hides behind “I’m fine.” And the moment you realize people were benefiting from your strength, not valuing your heart.

In this episode of Finding My Voice, I dive into the raw and often unspoken

feeling of being unwanted. From friendships and family to love and self-worth, I share my reflections on what it really means to carry that ache and how we can start to separate feeling unwanted from actually being

unwanted. If you’ve ever struggled with invisibility, rejection, or being left

out, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I open up about the things I never said out loud the thoughts I kept to myself, the words I swallowed, the feelings I buried deep inside. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words, but today I’m giving those moments a voice. From unspoken friendships to hidden emotions, I

share the raw side of me that I’ve kept tucked away. If you’ve ever held back from saying what you truly feel, this episode is for you

Friendships are beautiful, messy, complicated, and sometimes painful. In this episode, I open up about my journey with friends from the innocence of childhood bonds, to the best friend who became family, to the lessons learned through losing people along the way.

I talk about the people who’ve stood by me through every season of my life, what I’ve learned about true friendship, and why sometimes letting go is the kindest thing you can do for yourself.

If you’ve ever lost a friend, questioned who’s real, or cherished that one person who’s always shown up this episode is for you. 💛

In this episode, I open up about what it really means to “become someone” in a world that constantly measures our worth by success, money, or recognition. I share my own reflections on society’s expectations, the fear of failure, peer influence, and what it means to simply be enough.

It’s a reminder that the journey of becoming isn’t about living up to outside pressures it’s about choosing who you want to be, within your own values and limits.

Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that might make you rethink what “becoming someone” truly means.

Childhood shapes everything even how we connect as adults.

In this episode of Finding My Voice, I open up about the link between childhood chaos and the way it echoes into our friendships, relationships, and self-identity today. From lessons learned in a messy home to finding ways of unlearning patterns as an adult, this is a heartfelt reflection on how the past lingers, and how we can slowly choose better for ourselves.

Whether you’ve faced family struggles or you’re simply curious about how childhood affects who we become, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and maybe even feel a little less alone.

🎧 Tune in, share your thoughts, and let’s keep growing together.

The Things That Stay With Us” is an honest reflection on the way love, heartbreak, friendship, and family moments leave traces on us. In this diary-style episode, I share how the little experiences,the chaos, the silence, the lessons become the things we carry forward into how we live and love.

This isn’t just about romantic love it’s about the friendships that shift, the family bonds that shape us, and the people who leave pieces of themselves with us along the way.

Come sit with me in this episode of Finding My Voice, as we explore the things that never really leave us.

Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes we need to start over. In this episode, we explore the courage, reflection, and hope it takes to let go of the past and embrace a fresh beginning. Join me as we uncover practical steps, emotional insights, and inspiring stories that remind us it’s never too late to start again.

In this episode, I finally sit down to answer the questions I’ve been avoiding for over three years. It’s the kind of conversation I would’ve run away from but today, I chose to stay.

We explore the survival habits I once mistook for love. The silences I learned to tolerate. The fear of being too much, and the ache of never feeling like I was enough. I reflect on how unhealthy love can still feel like home… and how easy it is to repeat the patterns that once broke us.

This one is raw. This one is tender. It’s for the quiet parts of us still healing. It’s for anyone learning to love and be loved without fear, without begging, without disappearing.

If you’ve ever confused intensity for connection, or silence for safety, this one’s for you.

Some pain doesn’t leave bruises you can see.

This episode is for those who grew up afraid in their own homes.

The ones who were silenced, shamed, or blamed.

The ones who had to heal in secret.

I speak on toxic family dynamics, emotional and physical abuse, and the deep trauma we carry — especially in Somali households where culture and silence often come before compassion.

This is the hurt that’s hard to name… but I’m naming it anyway.

If this one hits close to home — know you’re not alone.

And you’re not broken.

This week, I let myself feel the lightness.

In this episode, I talk about joy — the soft kind. The kind that lives in laughter with friends, quiet peace in your room, little romantic days, and those moments you catch yourself feeling like the main character in your own life.

I share the things that have been bringing me comfort lately, and how I’m learning to enjoy joy without overthinking it. Healing is still part of the journey… but today, this one is just for the good feelings.

So take a deep breath, get cozy, and come sit with me. 🤍

We often talk about healing like it’s a destination. Like one day, everything just stops hurting. But the truth is… healing doesn’t move in straight lines. Some days feel like peace. Some days feel like pain. And both are part of the process.

In this episode, I open up about the quiet setbacks, the moments that feel like starting over, and why I’ve learned to stop blaming myself when the emotions come back.

This one is for anyone who’s ever asked themselves, “Why am I still feeling this way?”

You’re not broken. You’re just in progress.

Let’s talk about it. 🕊️

In this episode, I talk about something that’s been sitting with me for years — softness.

What it means to be soft in a world that teaches us to be hard.

What it feels like to be labeled “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” or “too much” just for being human.

I share how I used to think being soft made me weak — but now I see that softness is its own kind of strength.

It’s in the way we feel, love, walk away, and still stay kind.

It’s in the boundaries we build, the peace we choose, and the parts of ourselves we stop apologizing for.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been told to toughen up…

For anyone who’s ever stayed silent just to keep the peace…

And for anyone learning to let softness feel safe again.

If you’ve been shrinking to be accepted, this is your reminder:

You are not too much.

You are not weak.

You are soft — and that’s powerful.

Thank you for being here.

Sometimes you become the very person you always needed.

In this episode, I talk about the quiet victories — showing up for myself, cutting off draining energies, and finally being the love, support, and voice I needed all along.

It’s soft, it’s real, it’s everything I never got… until now.

🎧 Tap play when you’re ready to feel seen.

This one’s for the days where showing up feels like too much.

When you’re mentally exhausted, emotionally worn out, and tired of pretending to be okay.

In this episode, I speak from that quiet corner the one where survival mode isn’t working anymore, but healing still feels far.

I talk about what it means to carry the weight of strength, how it feels to shut down and disappear into your room, and what tiny steps we can take to come back to ourselves.

No pretending, no perfection just honesty, softness, and rest.

Let’s breathe here, together.🫂❤️

Episode 4: Unlearning Survival Mode

This episode is a soft, honest reflection on what it means to live in survival mode — and how I’m learning to unlearn it. I talk about fear, hyper-independence, and the quiet grief of pretending to be strong for too long.

If you’re learning to rest, to receive, to soften… this is for you.

You’re not broken — you’re healing.

Come sit with me in this honest, gentle space. No pressure to fix anything — just permission to feel.

In this episode, I open up about the quiet fear that makes asking for help feel impossible.

If you’ve ever stayed silent because you didn’t want to be a burden — this one’s for you.

You’re not weak for needing support.

You’re human.

And you’re not alone.
