This episode is a deep breath
No big lessons no dramatic breakthroughs just me right where I am closing out the year honestly and gently
Sometimes growth doesn’t look loud
Sometimes it looks like choosing calm choosing your own company and finally feeling okay with where you are even if you don’t have everything figured out yet
If you’re ending this year quieter than you started it this one’s for you
Press play get comfortable and just be here with me🤍
In this episode of Finding My Voice, I talk about something that often gets misunderstood choosing your own company.
This isn’t about isolation or pushing people away. It’s about learning how to sit with yourself, enjoy our own presence, and find peace without constantly needing noise, validation, or companionship. I share how preferring my own company became less about loneliness and more about self-respect, boundaries, and emotional clarity.
This episode is one of the ones we usually avoid. The heavy kind. The honest kind. The kind that forces you to admit things you were told to keep quiet about.
Today, we’re talking about the wounds you grew up with but never named the emotional blackmail disguised as culture, the family trauma you were guilt-tripped into accepting, the fear and pressure you carried into adulthood, and the pain you buried so deep you forgot it was there.
From childhood scars to family dynamics to the silent rules that taught you to shrink yoursel this is a space for every person who has ever felt unsafe, unheard, or unseen in their own home.
This episode is raw, personal, uncomfortable, and necessary.
A reminder that healing isn’t disrespect. Boundaries aren’t betrayal. And your voice is not a problem it’s the beginning of your freedom.
It’s not toxicity it’s emotional intensity, baby
In this episode, I talk about being labeled “too much,” why we overreact when we care, and how our dramatic side often comes from deep love and sensitivity.
It’s chaotic, honest, and very real, the friendship drama, the relationship meltdowns, and the healing that follows. 💋✨
This episode is not just a story it’s a mirror held up to the world.
A world where women are silenced, shamed, violated, and told to “move on.”
From domestic abuse to sexual violence, from family trauma to societal expectations this is for every woman who’s ever been told to stay quiet.
It’s raw, poetic, and painfully real, a reminder that women don’t owe anyone silence.
For Every Woman Who Was Told to Stay Quiet
A voice for the voiceless, a cry for justice, and a vow that our stories will no longer be whispered.
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. 🕊️
