In this deeply vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase speaks to the person who is always strong for others — but quietly struggling inside.
After a year marked by unimaginable loss, grief, and isolation, Norense opens up about what it feels like to keep showing up when the people you poured into don’t show up for you. He unpacks the hidden weight carried by leaders, creators, and “the strong friend,” and asks the honest question many are afraid to say out loud:
Where is God when everything hurts and no one seems to see you?
This episode explores grief, faith, pride, identity, and the quiet seasons where God is doing deep internal work — even when life doesn’t make sense. If you’ve ever felt alone in a crowded room, spiritually numb, or pressured to uphold an image while breaking inside, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
Why strong people often feel the most isolated
How grief exposes where we’ve tied our identity
The danger of pride disguised as “having it together”
Why silence doesn’t mean God is absent
How faith looks when answers don’t come
Learning to walk forward without full understanding
Letting go of old identities that no longer fit
“God sees you — even when people don’t.”
“Strength doesn’t mean you don’t need support.”
“Isolation can be a season of formation, not punishment.”
“You don’t have to understand to keep walking.”
“The shoes that fit you before may not fit this version of you.”
