“The Weight We Carry – with Summaiyah of @bunsandovens”
There are stories that don’t just touch you — they hold up a mirror.
This week’s episode features Summaiyah, the voice and heart behind @bunsandovens — a space where truth meets tenderness, and where anxiety, motherhood, and healing are spoken about with rare honesty.
Once a top achiever and a self-described “force to be reckoned with,” Summaiyah’s life took turns she never expected — from panic attacks and self-doubt to postpartum depression and the silent battle of feeling “too much” for the world around her.
Through it all, she’s learned that healing doesn’t always mean showing up perfectly.
As she beautifully says, “My silences on my platform are just a mirror of what I battle internally. I try to show up when it’s authentic and meaningful — which means there will be times where I don’t.”
Today, she’s transforming that honesty into something deeply impactful — hosting get-togethers for the anxious, creating safe spaces for those who’ve felt unseen, and sharing content that reaches people right where they are.
In this episode, we talk about:
The weight of living in a world that tells you you’re “too much”
Anger, boundaries, and learning to breathe again
The courage to rest and stay silent when needed
Turning pain into purpose and community
It’s raw. It’s real. It’s the conversation we all needed but never had.
