Eps #8: Being Single....on Valentine's Day? Ugh!
This episode unpacks the emotional chaos of being single on Valentine's Day ( with humor, honesty, and just enough academic overthinking, For-chur!) It explores loneliness vs. solitude, comparison culture, and the psychology behind wanting to feel chosen. Through what I presume as vulnerability, it reframes singleness as growth, not failure. Ultimately, it's about building self-worth so you don't
Eps #7: Nonchalance? Is that a flex?
This episode is a bit special! We are talking about Nonchalance with friends, at work, or maybe, just maybe, at work! Who is best to discuss that other than my amazing, beautiful girls, Chelsea and Fredia! Enjoy!
Eps#6: Modern Heartbreak: Thank you... Next?
At the beginning of this episode, my siblings and I (in Kinyarwanda) tried to define Modern Heartbreak. Yoh! friend, we live in a fast-paced and emotionally confusing world where love rarely ends with clear conversations anymore.

Welp... just a gentle reminder that real intelligence often begins the moment we allow ourselves to say, “I don’t know
Ep#3: Yoh...Friendship, Marriage & the Space In-Between!
Today, I want to talk about friendship and marriage. Not in a “who’s choosing who” kind of way — but in the quiet tension that happens when one enters the room and the other has to adjust.This episode hits different ✨ Co-hosting with my best friend, Merci, turned the mic into a safe space. We talk love, growth, shifting seasons, and what it really means to hold space for each other as life keeps e
Ep #2 Black Tax: So You Made It… Congrats?
Black Tax is real, emotional, funny, stressful, cultural, and sometimes beautiful. It’s the price of being the first to walk through a door that your family never had access to. But remember: you deserve joy, boundaries, and rest along the way.
