In today’s episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately: the loneliness of adulthood.As we grow older, friendships change, people move into different phases of life, and sometimes we can feel disconnected even when we’re surrounded by people. I’ve been questioning whether what I’ve been feeling is loneliness, seclusion, or perhaps a mixture of both.Have you ever felt lonely even when people were around you? Do you think loneliness and seclusion are the same thing?I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.Don’t forget to like, subscribe and share the episode if it resonated with you.Follow my journey: 📲⬇️Instagram & TikTok: ‪@deyotalks🎧Listen on: Apple Podcasts & Spotify

We often hear the story of Ruth through the lens of marriage and romance, but that’s not what stood out to me this time.Reading it recently, I found myself paying attention to something else entirely: Ruth simply did what needed to be done. She stayed with Naomi, worked hard to provide for them, and focused on the responsibility in front of her rather than what she might gain from it.It made me think about hope, waiting, and how easy it is to become fixated on outcomes we can’t control.In this episode, I reflect on the unexpected encouragement I found in Ruth’s story, why it resonated with me at this stage of life, and what it means to keep moving forward when you don’t know how things will unfold.I'd love to know what stood out to you.

Have you ever taken a break to reset and rewire, but still felt burnt out?

You thought stepping away would “fix” things… but you’re still exhausted?

In this episode, I talk about being in what feels like a quiet, slow season of my life, while also feeling like everything is happening all at once.

I’m still tired, still navigating it all — but I’m choosing to hold on a little longer. If you’re in a similar season, I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone.

This piece is a letter to the one I haven’t met yet.

It’s me thinking out loud about love, the kind of love I desire to have and the kind of love I’m willing to give.

If you’re a lover girl and dreamer like me then this one is for you.

Forgiveness is something we often talk about in faith… but what happens when you know you should forgive and your heart just doesn’t want to?In this episode, I’m opening up about the season I’m currently navigating — wrestling with forgiveness, faith, and the emotions that come with it. Knowing what the right thing to do is as a Christian, while also being honest about the part of me that doesn’t want to revisit the pain in order to move forward.Is it still forgiveness if there are boundaries?What does forgiveness actually look like in real life — not just in theory?This episode isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having an honest conversation.I’d love to hear from you:How have you navigated forgiving someone close to you? Especially when it’s family.Let’s talk about it.

Many of us hold onto connections that no longer serve us, often at the expense of our own peace and growth. In this piece, I reflect on letting go of someone who once held my heart, learning to choose myself, and discovering the unexpected strength that distance can bring.This is a story of healing, self-love, and the realisation that we don’t need to change for anyone — we are enough as we are.

This expression is all about LOVE.The beauty, intensity, vulnerability, and contradictions of love — the kind we give to others, and the kind we sometimes forget to give ourselves.Love being soft yet strong, warm yet fragile, outrageous yet deeply sincere. It’s about connection, heartbreak, self-awareness, and the quiet realisation that sometimes the love we’re searching for has been standing within reach all along.If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost pieces of yourself, or found strength through vulnerability — this one’s for you.Watch, reflect, and let me know what your love feels like in the comments.

In this episode, I share a personal experience of staying in a situation that I should’ve walked away from.I talk about why walking away wasn’t easy because I was holding on to the friendship we had built.I hoped for something more than just being best friends and stayed even when it was obvious that I wouldn’t the result I wanted.It was painful wanting more while trying not to lose the connection we already had.This is a conversation about situationships, emotional attachment, and what happens when you give your all to someone who wasn’t ready to be yours.

I knew something was off… and I ignored it anyway.In this episode, I share how I got catfished on Hinge and why my intuition didn’t stop me even though it was right.This isn’t just a dating story. It’s about being in a desperate emotional space, needing something else to focus on, something to distract me.I talk dating apps, loneliness, intuition, and the uncomfortable truth about how desperation can make you override your own instincts.

You ever feel like you’re not feeling how you’re supposed to feel?In this episode, I open up about not feeling the contentment or satisfaction I thought I would—despite having achievements worth celebrating. I reflect on the disconnect between “doing well on paper” and how it actually feels inside.I also talk about a harder realisation: I don’t always set strong enough boundaries or protect my space, especially with the people I love. It’s uncomfortable to admit—but it’s something I’m committed to working on in the new year.What has 2025 taught you? Share in the comments.
