Life Away From Home ft. Vraj 🇲🇼🇺🇸 | EP14

What is life really like when you leave home to chase something bigger?

For Episode 14, we link up with Vraj, who's studying medicine at Penn State in the US, for an unfiltered conversation about life away from Malawi.

From adjusting to a new culture and navigating the pressure of medical school to dealing with homesickness, finding your place, and learning things nobody prepares you for, we get into the realities behind studying abroad.

And we're doing it a little differently this time — running Fortnite duos while letting the conversation flow naturally. 🎮

No script. No pretending to have everything figured out. Just real conversations about growth, challenges, identity, and the journey of figuring life out.

If you've ever thought about studying abroad, leaving home, or stepping into something unfamiliar, this one's for you.

Tap in, Dawgs. 🖤

The World Has Stayed Unsafe for Women | The Trace ft. Thawne

What does it mean to live in a world where your safety is never something you can completely take for granted?

In Episode 13 of ForMyDawgs, Thawne joins me for an uncomfortable but necessary conversation about women's safety, sexual violence, accountability, and the responsibility we carry when we witness something wrong.

We talk about the people who watch and say nothing, the friends who stay silent, the difference between protecting someone and protecting their reputation, and the difficult questions men need to ask themselves about the environments they create and the behaviour they allow.

This conversation isn't about pretending to have every answer. It's about questioning ourselves, challenging the excuses we make, and asking what we would actually do when someone else's safety is on the line.

Because sometimes, the people affected are left carrying the experience long after everyone else has moved on. And sometimes, what stays with us is the knowledge that someone could have done something — but didn't.

If the world is still unsafe for women, what are we doing to change it?

This is ForMyDawgs. Real conversations. Uncomfortable questions. Figuring life out together.

The Narcissist Within Us | Episode 12

How much of what we call narcissism is really about ego, and how much of it is simply human nature?

We often label people as selfish when they put themselves first. But what happens when someone has spent so much time giving to others that they finally decide to choose themselves?

In Episode 12 of ForMyDawgs, we're exploring narcissism, selfishness, and the complicated relationship we have with ourselves and the people around us. Where do we draw the line between protecting our own peace and making everything about ourselves?

Maybe the uncomfortable question isn't just whether we've encountered narcissistic people. Maybe it's whether we've ever recognised those traits in ourselves.

No perfect answers. Just an honest conversation about human behaviour, self-awareness, and the things we don't always like to admit.

Real conversations. Real perspectives. ForMyDawgs. 🖤

Sam’s Story Pt. 2: Beyond the “Rich Kid” Narrative

There’s more to a person than what you see on the surface.

In Part 2 of Sam’s story, we get into the conversations that matter: family, personal growth, education, exposure, entrepreneurship, and what success really means. We unpack the stereotypes society creates around wealth and privilege, the role our upbringing plays in shaping us, and why the people and communities around us can make a difference in how far we go.

From the evolution of music and building something of your own in Malawi to mental health, love, and staying connected to your roots, this conversation is a reminder that success is about more than material things. It’s also about character, gratitude, self-awareness, and the legacy we leave behind.

Because sometimes, understanding someone's story means looking beyond the assumptions we’ve already made about them.

This is Sam’s Story Pt. 2. Real conversations, different perspectives, and lessons we’re all still learning.

Welcome back to ForMyDawgs. 🖤

Who is Mizzo?

In Episode 10 of ForMyDawgs, we sit down with Mizzo, and Magz, to get into more than just his story. We talk about loneliness in men, what it looks like when you’re surrounded by people but still feel alone, and why so many men struggle to actually open up about what they’re going through.

A real conversation about friendship, emotions, masculinity, isolation, and figuring yourself out while growing up.

No pretending we have all the answers. Just real spill.

In Episode 9 of the ForMyDawgs Podcast, we sit down with Kifra for an honest conversation about mental health, what we tend to keep to ourselves, and what it really means to admit you’re not okay.

We talk about recognising when something is wrong, dealing with pressure, how people around us can influence the way we handle our emotions, and why having these conversations matters — especially as young people.

No pretending. No perfect answers. Just real perspectives, real experiences, and real spill.

🎙️ Episode 9 — Mental Health: The Conversations We Don’t Have

Welcome to ForMyDawgs — figuring life out together.

#ForMyDawgs #4MD🖤 #MentalHealth #Podcast #SelfGrowth #Malawi

When was the last time you told your boy you were genuinely not okay?

Rell sits with Star and Mags on loneliness in men — the kind that shows up in a full room, a busy group chat, and a quiet chest. Not boredom. Not “I’m good bro.” The real one.

We talk:

• being in the room and still behind glass
• why older doesn’t always mean closer
• boys taught to solve it instead of say it
• fathers, heroes, and what nobody modelled
• journaling the pattern so it stops running you

If you’ve been performing fine, tap in.
Discord’s open. Private once you’re in.

Sam and I sat down, and we stopped pretending Malawi doesn’t have a class problem.

This is For My Dawgs. Rell and Sam chop it up about stereotypes, slurs, and classism in the warm heart — what people actually mean when they say “rich kid,” why the grind is lonely, and why starting late is already losing.

We get into:

• the cushion vs the hunger
• roasting the poor and roasting the rich (both are lazy)
• privilege you didn’t earn, and what you owe it
• school, names, and making one for yourself
• time, substances, and why Mondays are supposed to be hard
• starting now, even if it’s slow

No TED Talk. No clean ending. Just the conversation before the highlight reel.

Part 1.

If this is you — stay. Discord’s in the link tree.
For the mandem, by the mandem.

Mental Health — Part 2

The conversation continues.

In Part 2, Vin & Rell go deeper into mental health, the things we don't always say out loud, and the pressure to keep showing up even when you're not okay.

No perfect answers. No pretending to have everything figured out.

Just two dawgs having a real conversation.

Welcome to ForMyDawgs — we're figuring life out together. 🖤

In Ep. 6 Pt. 1, Vin & Rell drop the tough-guy act and get real about mental health: the stuff we bottle up, the "I'm good bro" lies, and why so many of us would rather burn than ask for help.

No therapist voice. No textbook talk. Just the dawgs keeping it 100 about what's really going on upstairs.

If you've ever said "I'm fine" and didn't mean it, this one's for you. Pt. 2 coming soon.

Press play, then send it to the homie who needs it. 🐕‍🦺

If you're going through it, talk to someone you trust please. You don't have to carry it alone.🖤
