Her Side of the Stories

Lauren Burton learned early in life to be the calm one, the good girl, and the person who kept everything together. Growing up around instability shaped how she understood love, responsibility, belonging, and the role she felt she needed to play in other people’s lives. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

Years later, Lauren believed she had reached a very different place. She had begun understanding the patterns she carried from childhood, changed the way she saw herself, found love, and felt ready for a happier chapter.

In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Lauren reflects on what happened when life challenged everything she thought she had already learned about healing. She speaks about motherhood, love, identity, relationships, meaning, and how rebuilding your life doesn't mean leaving someone you love behind.

Topics covered:

• Growing Up as the “Good Girl”

• Learning to Keep the Peace

• Becoming Independent at a Young Age

• How Childhood Roles Follow Us Into Adulthood

• Finding a Different Way to See Her Past

• Moving From Survival Into Choice

• Meeting the Person She Wanted to Build a Life With

• When the Future She Imagined Changed

• Learning What Support Really Looks Like

• Keeping Jasmine Part of Their Family

• Finding Meaning Without Explaining the Unexplainable

• Allowing Joy Back Into Her Life

• How Motherhood Changed Her Again

• Learning to Carry Love Differently

• Finding Her Way Back to Herself

Lauren describes keeping her connection with Jasmine alive through everyday rituals, family traditions, photographs, nature, and the work created in her name. She and Tim also raised more than £20,000 in Jasmine’s honor to support other parents.

One of Lauren’s biggest turning points came when she realized that feeling joy did not mean leaving Jasmine behind. For Lauren, acceptance does not mean being okay with what happened. It means learning how to carry love forward while continuing to live.

Navine Kumari grew up in the UK between two worlds. Born into a Punjabi Indian family, she was surrounded by tradition, family expectations, community, and a strong sense of where her life was supposed to lead. At the same time, she was trying to understand where she belonged and who she wanted to become. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Navine reflects on growing up between British and Indian cultures, the expectations placed on women in her community, and the moment at nineteen when she told her father she wanted a different life. Rather than rejecting her family, she tried to find a way to honour where she came from while still choosing for herself.

Navine also speaks about love, motherhood, belonging, family relationships, spirituality, and what it meant to raise her own children with greater freedom and acceptance. She describes how becoming a mother changed her understanding of what children really need from the people who love them.

Topics covered:

• Growing Up Between British and Indian Cultures

• Feeling Between Two Worlds

• Family, Tradition and Belonging

• The Expectations Placed on Young Women

• Watching Different Relationships Around Her

• Finding the Courage to Choose Differently

• The Conversation That Changed Her Future

• Losing Her Sense of Belonging

• Finding Her Way Back to Family

• Love, Marriage and Building Her Own Life

• Motherhood and Unconditional Acceptance

• Raising Children With More Freedom

• Supporting Her Son in Being Himself

• What Her Mother Taught Her About Strength

• Spirituality, Family and Finding Happiness

One of the strongest threads in Navine’s story is how differently she chose to parent. When her son told his parents he was gay at thirteen, Navine describes responding with love, protection, and a determination to let him remain completely himself.

Navine’s story is about the space between inheritance and choice: how we can carry parts of where we come from while still deciding what kind of life, family, and future we want to create.

Dr. Katelyn Means grew up inside what looked like a successful American family. Years later, she had built an impressive life of her own, yet she still felt there were parts of herself and her childhood she did not fully understand. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Katelyn looks back on her childhood in Wyoming, her relationships with her parents, the pressure to appear perfect, the years she struggled to make sense of her feelings, and the memories that changed how she understood her own story. She speaks about identity, family relationships, control, shame, acceptance, and learning to separate who she is from what happened in her past. Katelyn explains how parts of her childhood stayed outside her conscious memory for years before resurfacing later in adulthood.

Topics covered:

• Growing up inside the image of a perfect family

• Her relationship with her mother and father

• How family instability shaped her childhood

• The pressure to be perfect

• The parts of childhood she could not remember

• Why control became so important

• Building a successful life while feeling something was missing

• The moment her understanding of the past changed

• Separating her identity from her experiences

• Moving from anger toward acceptance

• Learning to see her younger self differently

• How her life experiences shaped the work she does today

Katelyn’s story asks a deeper question about identity: what happens when the life everyone sees does not explain what you feel inside?

Djabu Balde grew up in Guinea-Bissau surrounded by very little materially, but she remembers much of her early childhood as happy. Her life would eventually take her across countries, cultures, and families, from the mother who loved her from afar to the woman in Spain who later chose to give her another home. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Djabu reflects on the childhood experience that profoundly changed how she understood her body and safety, and the years it took to understand that what happened was never something she caused.

She also shares the story of leaving Guinea-Bissau for Spain, being separated from her biological mother, struggling inside a new family environment, and eventually finding another mother in Loli, a woman who stepped forward when Djabu needed somewhere safe to belong.

Topics covered:

• Growing Up in Guinea-Bissau

• The Childhood Experience That Changed Her

• Understanding Her Mother’s Choices Differently

• Leaving Home for Spain

• Growing Up Between Two Countries

• Being Separated From Her Mother

• The Woman Who Chose to Give Her a Home

• Finding Safety With Loli

• Building a Different Future for Her Son

• Returning to Her Childhood Village

• Writing Entre dos madres

• Why She Chose to Tell Her Story Now

One of the most important shifts in Djabu’s story came when she finally understood her biological mother’s experience differently. What she had once interpreted as abandonment or failure gradually became something more complicated: a mother living inside cultural and social pressures while still trying to create another future for her daughter.

Later, Loli became the second mother at the center of Djabu’s life. When Djabu’s home situation in Spain became untenable, Loli chose to take responsibility for her rather than allow her to enter residential care. Djabu describes that moment as being chosen and given another chance.

Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

She speaks about motherhood, love, family, memory, spirituality, and the ways Ray continues to have a place in their everyday lives.

Hollie Stenson built a successful career in the film industry, working both in front of and behind the camera. From the outside, she had a life that looked capable, independent, and successful. But underneath that life were experiences she had learned to push aside rather than fully understand. In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Hollie reflects on her relationship with her father, career, health, family, loss, people-pleasing, and the period when the way she had always coped with difficult emotions suddenly stopped working. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

She shares how relying on alcohol gradually became a way to disconnect from experiences that felt overwhelming, and how shame, isolation, other people making decisions for her, and repeated attempts at recovery left her feeling increasingly disconnected from herself. Hollie says one of the biggest changes came when she began taking ownership of her own process and understanding what was happening rather than seeing herself as fundamentally broken.

Topics covered:

• Growing Up With an Extraordinary Father

• The Relationship That Shaped Her Childhood

• Building a Career in Film

• Receiving Life-Changing Health News

• The Experiences She Never Fully Processed

• When Her Usual Coping Strategies Stopped Working

• Why Shame Made Everything Harder

• Losing Control of Her Own Decisions

• What Traditional Recovery Models Felt Like to Her

• Learning to Understand Her Own Patterns

Hollie explains that learning about the psychology and biology behind her behavior helped remove some of the shame she had carried. She also speaks about therapy, education, boundaries, and building a different set of tools for the future.

Her story is not simply about what happened during three difficult years. It is about what those years forced her to understand about herself, and what changed when she finally began making decisions about her own life again.

Victoria Price learned responsibility long before most children her age. Growing up in a home where life could feel unpredictable, she became the capable one, helped care for her younger siblings, and learned early how to keep things moving even when the adults around her were struggling. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com

Then, at seventeen, Victoria became a mother. In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, she reflects on the judgment she experienced as a young mum, leaving school, becoming financially independent, building a career, and the determination that grew every time somebody underestimated what her future could become.

Victoria eventually rose to Partner at a Big Four professional services firm, one of the most senior positions in the industry. But she also speaks honestly about what that level of focus cost her, how motherhood shaped her ambition, and why success later became less about proving herself and more about the kind of leader and mother she wanted to be.

Topics covered:

• Growing Up With Responsibility Early

• Becoming the Capable One at Home

• Becoming a Mother at Seventeen

• Being Judged Before Her Life Had Even Begun

• Leaving School and Continuing Her Education

• Finding Women Who Supported Her

• Building Financial Independence

• “You’ve Ruined Your Life”

• Using Other People’s Doubt as Motivation

• Motherhood and Ambition

• The Cost of Being Constantly Driven

• Experiencing Mum Guilt for the First Time

• Leaving Professional Services

• Building Emello and Starting Again

Victoria says becoming a mother gave her an immediate sense of responsibility and purpose. She set goals around education, financial independence, housing, and creating a different future for her son, rather than letting other people’s expectations determine what happened next.

Later, reaching senior leadership changed her understanding of success again. A mentor helped her see that leadership was no longer simply about her own promotion or achievement, but about the standards she created for everyone around her. Today, Victoria is the founder of Emello, bringing her business experience into a much more creative chapter of her life.

About a mother who struggled with mental challenges for as long as Victoria can remember. About the day at four years old when her earliest memory was made and it wasn't a happy one. About becoming a carer to her younger siblings and a housewife to her own father, long before she should have been.

About the relief no one is supposed to admit when a difficult parent leaves. About the day she told her dad she was pregnant, and the first words he said to her. About the antenatal class where the other mums turned up in Range Rovers and she walked. About the job she turned down because it would have solved a today problem. About the mentor who pointed at a door and changed how she leads, forever. About mum guilt for the first time in her life. About forgiving her mother and what that actually looks like.— — —Her Side of the Stories is a cinematic, emotionally honest conversation series exploring the inner lives of women; what they've survived, what they've become, and what they've never said out loud until now.Hosted by Asal Zara.
