Christmas hits different when you’re grown.

In this episode of In Your Shoes, I’m joined by my husband and his friend for an honest, laughter-filled conversation about what Christmas used to mean and what it looks like now. We talk childhood memories, family traditions, adult responsibilities, and how the meaning of the season shifts as life happens.

From funny throwbacks to real-life lessons, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt nostalgic, overwhelmed, or quietly grateful during the holidays. If your Christmas magic looks a little different these days, you’re definitely not alone.

Pull up a seat, step into our shoes, and let’s talk Christmas.

Helloooo INYS's listeners,

After a little break, In Your Shoes is back, and we’re returning with a story worth waiting for.

In this episode, I stepped into the shoes of Deborah Majekodunmi, a funding manager focused on accessibility and inclusion in global social impact, whose work is seldom spotlighted but absolutely essential.

She shares her move to Germany, her experiences in the NGO world, and the challenges and wins behind creating inclusive programs. A warm, insightful conversation and how real impact is created through thoughtful, behind-the-scenes work.

When someone we love is gone or something we hold dearly gone, life changes in ways we can’t always put into words.

In this podcast, I sit down with my close friends to talk honestly about grief, the messy parts, the quiet moments, and the unexpected ways it shows up.

We share stories, laughter, tears, and the things that keep us going. This isn’t about fixing grief, it’s about feeling it, talking about it, and knowing you’re not alone.

It's long, but I promise you it is worth your time.

Why do software engineers seem to land jobs overnight while the rest of us are stuck refreshing job boards? In this episode, we dig into the hiring gap between tech and non-tech fields with laughs, real talk, and a little shade #lol. Is it skill, demand, or just tech privilege? Let’s find out.

Job hunting in 2025? What’s it really like on the other side of the hiring table? In this episode, I stepped into the shoes of a recruiter to uncover the truths job seekers rarely hear. From résumé red flags to why you got ghosted, we’re breaking down the hiring game in 2025, straight from someone who lives it every day.

This episode was totally unplanned but somehow, it’s one of my favorites (for now, lol). My husband randomly said, “I want to ask you some questions… but on your podcast,” and I was like, why not? So we hit record, and things got real (and hilarious) fast.

Expect behind-the-scenes truths, unexpected laughs, and a little reminder of why I started this podcast in the first place.

I hope you enjoy this one it’s a fun little break in transmission before we jump back into our usual topics.

See you in your shoes 😉 Stay tuned!

Ever heard that making it in the legal profession as an immigrant in Germany is basically impossible? Yeah, same here. So I sat down with my friend MJ a lawyer based in Berlin who proves that narrative wrong in the best way.

In this episode, MJ gets real about what it was like starting over from scratch, the challenges he faced, the small wins that kept him going, and the community he's building for other lawyers navigating similar paths. We also chatted about what helped him stay grounded, how he stayed focused, and of course, some good ol' gist sprinkled throughout.

Whether you're in law, thinking of moving to Germany, or just love hearing real stories about resilience and reinvention this one’s for you.
