Hello and welcome to Coffee with Temmi. How are you doing?

Today, I want to talk to the woman who is tired… the woman who keeps showing up, keeps carrying, and keeps giving, even when life feels heavy. This episode is about quiet strength, unseen burdens, and the resilience it takes to carry on when so much is being asked of you.

Contempt slowly erodes a person’s confidence, self-worth, and dignity. It leaves invisible scars, making them feel unseen, unvalued, and less than they truly are.

Over time, it can silence their voice and diminish the light they once carried within.

Grief is not something you can prepare for, because you don’t know how it will hit you or when it will come.

There is something in griefing that is more than sadness. The loneliness, emptiness, helplessness, the feeling of being left behind, and mostly the finality of it all.

This week, I found a poem that’s helped me, it’s titled, GRIEF by Glen Flowers.

Homecoming: The Cost of Independence

Across cities and cultures, more young adults in their 20s, and 30s are moving back home, not because they lack ambition, but because independence has become expensive.

Rising rent, unstable job markets, student debt, and delayed life milestones are reshaping what adulthood looks like. But this shift isn’t just financial. It’s emotional. It’s cultural. It’s deeply personal.

Homecoming: The Cost of Independence explores the tension between autonomy and affordability, asking:

Is moving back home a setback or a strategy for survival in a changing world?

Where were you at midnight of 31st December 1999?

It’s been 25 years since the world held its collective breath on that night. People prayed, panicked, and prepared for what they thought would be the end of the digital world. But when the clocks struck midnight — nothing happened.

The lights stayed on. Planes didn’t fall. Life simply continued.

Reflecting on how far we’ve come, what fear taught us, and why faith — even in uncertain times — never crashes

Have you ever seen a hamster running in its cage? Round and round, legs flying — but it’s not really going anywhere. Lately, that’s exactly how my life has felt.

And it’s all down to not setting boundaries.

Grab your cup and let’s chat

The people children trust the most; parents, relatives, teachers, and leaders, are meant to protect them. What happens when those trusted protectors become the very source of harm?

Abuse is not always committed by strangers; too often, it comes from the familiar, cloaked in silence and betrayal. We uncover the painful reality of broken trust and challenge the silence of adults who look away.

Protecting children means more than love - it demands courage, truth, and accountability.
