Soulful_convos w Khristen

Funny how this is my 24th episode, on my 24th birthday, and somehow right on time-life has jokes apparently. This one isn’t polished or heavy — it’s a soft pause. A collection of 20-something reflections, quiet lessons, faith, healing, and becoming… A little birthday voice note to myself — and maybe to you too.

When the sun shines and rain falls, Nigerians say “the lion and tiger have given birth.” 😂 Dive into this quirky folktale as Khristen explores sunshowers, childhood myths, cultural storytelling, and why humans love explaining the unexplainable. A soulful, funny episode you didn’t know you needed.

In the Western world, turning 18 means you’re officially responsible for yourself — rent, bills, freedom, and all that comes with “adulting.” But in Africa, and especially here in Nigeria, independence takes on a different meaning. Culture, family, and religion shape how and when we move out — if at all. In this episode of Soulful_convos w Khristen , we explore the contrasts, the expectations, and...

Ever felt guilty for saying no? This episode reminds you that ‘Because I don’t want to’ is a complete sentence. We talk peace, priorities, and learning to protect your sanity without the guilt trip.

Ever been pressed like Agege bread in a danfo? 😭 This thought-provoking episode explores the struggles of plus-size passengers in Nigerian buses — the ‘abeg shift!’ moments, cramped seats, and real talk about comfort, body size, fairness, and empathy in our public transport culture.

The world talks about racism — skin color, foreign accents, immigration. But here in Nigeria, it’s not always about race. It’s tribalism. The Yoruba calling out the Igbo, the Hausa mocking the Yoruba, the Igbo stereotyping the Hausa. Words like ‘Omo Igbo,’ ‘Aboki,’ don’t just describe — they divide. This episode unpacks how language turns identity into insult, and why tribalism is Nigeria’s own ve...

That tiny silver/white/grey strand on your head—do you yank it out, dye it, or rock it like a crown of wisdom? In this episode, I’m unraveling the myths, the science, and the sass behind grey hairs. Spoiler: pulling them won’t magically multiply them… but it might just say more about us than our hair. Tune in for laughs, truths, and maybe a little self-acceptance.

Ever been misled, misread, or just plain misunderstood? Yeah, same. Today we’re unpacking the tiny mix-ups, wild assumptions, and unspoken words that turn friendships, flings, and full-blown relationships into awkward drifting ships. Grab your life jacket—this episode is all about why we drift apart (and how not to get lost at sea).

'"I'm five minutes away” really means I just left the house. In Africa, the clocks tick… but somehow we're allergic to punctuality. Relatable? yes. Funny? Absolutely! until you're the one waiting. Let's explore together👣

Tiny rant turned pep talk turned time capsule - Today's episode? Just me planting seeds in audio form, so one day I can harvest bragging rights.

I borrowed you money, not my peace of mind. Now I’m the villain for asking for it back? 😂 Let’s talk guilt trips, ghosted repayments, and the drama that turns “Can I get my money back?” into a full-blown telenovela.

"Wahala for Who Dey Use Right Hand" — because apparently, using your left hand to eat, wave, or give somebody something is a criminal offense in Nigerian households. Let’s talk about how one hand became ‘holy’ and the other, spiritual bad news. Lefties, come and hear your matter o!

"Khaki no be costume" dives headfirst into the dust, drills, and drama of NYSC camp life. From 4 a.m. bugles to unexpected friendships, it’s a no-filter gist on what really went down — the sweat, the laughs, the wahala. Spoiler: it felt nothing like a movie😅.

Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the finest of them all? Plot twist — nobody fits the mold. In this episode, we expose the scam that is “the perfect body,” trace how the trends keep shifting, and remind you that confidence isn’t a filter — it’s practical

From pretending to like their favorite musical taste (even though it sounds like a blender in distress) to accidentally liking a photo—we've all been there. In this episode, we unpack the hilariously irrational things we do when Cupid hits... and misses. Get ready to cringe, laugh, and maybe confess a few sins of your own.

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it. This experience is long overdue and I'm SAT for it. Choosing to document this encourages my legacy and is a measure of my intentionality in growth. It's only right to have my community along for the ride🥰 Say a prayer for me🙏🏾. It's going to be refining❤️

We love compliments, but can we handle corrections? In this episode, we unpack why real love tells the truth — even when it stings. It’s not about tearing down, it’s about building better. So skip the flattery, pass the feedback — and let’s grow for real.

I can't be the only one who *knows* that there's more to life than vibes accompanied by well strung strings and concocted beats that make us forget about slipping up in professing lyrics that create more barricades than it does in setting us free. Bittersweet? yes! Controversial? of course! Come let us reason together 🫶🏾✨

There's nothing more alarming than slow poison. A creeping introduction of wrong as right. From hints to mainstream, the metamorphosis of gay characters in movies is heavily pushed. Let he who thinketh he standeth take heed lest he falls. Another day to journey in conversation. I love you 🫂❤️

Worship is beyond our words and songs, it's founded on the bases of God's unconditional love. We cannot properly take care of things we don't consciously hold ourselves responsible to. How comfortable we've become with displacing waste on God's hardwork. Join me as we journey together to reconcile our love for Jesus with our treatment of His creation.
