Finding my voice

Money affects all of us, but honest conversations about it are rare. In this episode of Finding My Voice, I talk about money in a real and unfiltered way, what it means to me, the pressure that can come with it, the idea of “soft life,” social media expectations, and learning how to balance spending, saving, and building something for yourself. I also open up about starting my business during one...

In this episode of Finding My Voice, I step outside of my usual perspective to talk about something we don’t say out loud enough the pressure on men to have everything figured out. From expectations to provide, lead, and always have a plan to the quiet reality of still figuring life out, this conversation explores what that weight can look like beneath the surface. Why is there so little space for...

What does it feel like to be inside your own mind all the time??? In this episode of Finding My Voice I open up about what it is like to look okay on the outside while dealing with so much internally, overthinking, emotional exhaustion and those quiet moments where your mind just will not slow down.

In this episode of Finding My Voice, I’m taking you through some of my most embarrassing, dramatic, and honestly hilarious moments from trying to run away from home as a kid (yes with a bag 😭) to awkward school memories, crush encounters, and moments where I was just a little too honest for my own good.

Not every business owner wakes up at 5am and has their life together.

This is me trying to break my motivational speaker cycle

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...

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 s...

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...

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.

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 To...

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 d...

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.

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.

If you’ve ever held back from saying what you truly feel...

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...

I reflect on how unhealthy love can still feel...

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...

This week, I let myself feel the lightness. In this episode, I talk about joy — the soft kind.
