"No matter how much you wish you could, you cannot control how another person feels and loves. Just because someone fails to see your worth, it doesn't make them a bad person, and it doesn't mean you are unlovable. It simply means that they are not meant for you." - @momentaryhappiness

In this episode we have a light conversation about unrequited love. Fulu shares a poem and 7 beautiful lessons learnt from unrequited love.

No matter how big or small, we've all experienced some kind of trauma as children. These traumas often lead to a wounded element of ourselves: The inner child. When we reconnect with this fragmented part of ourselves, we begin to discover the root of many of our fears, phobias, insecurities, and sabotaging life patters. In this episode we talk about emotional ouchies that our younger selves have experienced, how those ouchies manifest in our young adult lives, and caring for those parts of ourselves.

We hope this conversation holds space for you!

There is often a significant gap between our intentions and what actually manifests.

In this episode Thulasizwe takes the hot seat and schools us on the nuanced philosophies of intentions. We discuss addressing this gap in our interpersonal relationships, dissonance, and taking accountability.

We hope this episode holds space for you!

"I am no longer shrinking myself to be digestible. You can choke!"

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to shrink yourself for the benefit of someone else's ego? In this episode we discuss choosing ourselves, leaving relationships that no longer serve you, and healing from such situations.

I hope this episode holds space for you!

In wartime, the word "casualty" is often used to describe someone who has been injured as a result of the war.

Have you ever found yourself as a casualty as result of a "battle" that someone you love was fighting? In this episode we discuss and share lessons about being a casualty in someone's war and "fixing" people.

"Love and Other Broken Bones" is a coming of age podcast filled with honest and affirming conversations. Our first series, the "Ja neh" series, sees me in conversation with different members in my community about moments in their life that made them go "JA NEH!".

Expect 12 episodes filled with laughter, lots of "Aha!" moments and most importantly - lots of "Ja neh" moments.

I hope this podcast holds space for you!

Please be sure to rate, review, and connect with us. We would love to hear about your "Jah Neh" moments.
