An Ode to 2016 is a reflective birthday solo episode where I look back at who I was ten years ago and what that year represented culturally, emotionally and creatively. It weaves nostalgia with growth exploring creativity, womanhood, softness, healing and the slow becoming of a life that feels more honest and authentic.

This conversation explores storytelling as a bridge between culture, community and language. How these shape the way we live and create. It reflects on authenticity, belonging and the power of speaking from a place that feels like home.

What does it mean to truly experience Morocco? This episode dives into travel that is rooted in culture, curiosity, and human connection.

If Morocco is on your travel list and you’d like to explore it more intentionally, I’m currently looking to curate a group to experience Morocco together. If you’d like to take the conversation out of the group chat, reach out to me directly.

We talk about the people you meet along the way, the moments that shape you and the unexpected realities of life on the move. It’s an honest, warm conversation about connection, curiosity and everything that happens in between.

I Ran a Marathon and Now I’m Insufferable.

Listen to me ramble about it for 10 mins. Also this was recorded with my medal in studio. Okay. Bye.

The 2 minute reel recap on Instagram

In part two of The Living Abroad Chronicles, we dive deeper into the hustle and grind, the loneliness no one warns you about, the friendships that keep you sane, and yes, the infamous Black Tax. It’s honest, raw, and a little too real, but also filled with laughter, lessons, and love.

Three Kenyan ladies took a leap of faith, fit their lives into a suitcase and left at the first opportunity. We sat down to talk about it all. The culture shocks, language barriers, spicy food tragedies and the delicate dance of assimilation. It’s a story of courage, curiosity and a little bit of chaos told with laughter, honesty and heart.

Dearly beloved, we took one for the team and said it so you don’t have to. Now behold; SEND TO ALL. This is the podcast you forward to your mum, dad, that nosy colleague, your cousin with unsolicited opinions, your neighbour’s best friend, your uncle in the village and every human who cannot resist the eternal inquiry: “When are you getting married? When are the kids coming?”

Now to you, this has found well and healthy (hopefully). Kindly, stop asking about the marriage and the babies. Most importantly, stop suggesting potential partners like you’re running a community-based Tinder franchise. Please and thank.

Instead channel that energy into surprise parties for:
🎉 A business launch that finally got its first paying client.
🎉 A job promotion that didn’t come with extra unpaid duties.
🎉 A master’s degree completion party (don't ask about the PHD)
🎉 A farewell bash for the friend brave enough to start life abroad (complete with m-pesa donations).
🎉 A medal ceremony for surviving a marathon
🎉 A one-year anniversary for ditching that toxic 9-to-5 to embrace art, travel, freedom.

While at it buy presents for that friend who just completed a major exam, that one who has stayed consistent in therapy, that who has survived a hard season in their life, the one finally putting a deposit on something they have been intending to buy.

Let’s stay busy, beloveds. Stay celebratory. Stay petty only if you must.
