Right Where You Are

Hello! Welcome to season 2.

The theme for the season is Learner Human.

Because that is what I am. A Leaner Human. Awakening. Becoming. Being

I'm excited for what this journey holds for us

Sincerely

Khanyisa

We did it Joe! We've come to the end of season 1 of RWYA... Or maybe we didn't do it Joe. Maybe it's too imperfect to let it come to an end. Are we really going to end the season off on episode 6? With only 3 "full" episodes, and another 3 episodes that basically say the same thing?

YES! Yes we are.

This episode is about allowing our creations to be imperfect, incomplete, messy and... human. We explore the importance of showing up imperfectly, in the fullness of our human expression.

In fact, this was the very lesson the spirit of Right Where You Are wanted to teach. And I'm grateful to have had that be the first.

To many more🥂

Khanyisa

It’s been 2 months since I last released an episode (wasn’t my intention) but I come baaaackkk! 

This episode is a combination of a comeback, a reintroduction & a vow renewal. Lets redefine what this podcast is and most importantly, what it is not. I want to make it clear what I desire for this podcast, what you can expect and we can let things flow from there. This is also a kind of “disclaimer” because I’m finally ready and willing to be my most unhinged self.

I’m a liar! A big liar. I lie all the time, I lie about everything, I lie to everyone, & most importantly, I lie to myself. This episode is an exploration of truth, dishonesty, shame & the shadow. We talk about the philosophy, ethics and psychology of lying. We uncover why lying might not be such a terrible thing after all.

“SHAME ON YOU!” It seems the whole world is constantly screaming these words at us. “You are unworthy, invalid, inferior.”

This episode takes place at the gym, and I speak about shame and my theories on its origins in human history. I then add my take on it as an unhealthy and unnatural emotion, and definitely not an effective one.

This one’s long and filled with some academic references. I’ve added a bibliography below. I’ve also created a Guide on my Instagram (@khanyis.isibhakabhaka). Otherwise, enjoy. And feel free to shoot me a DM with your own opinions or arguments on this.

With love

Khan

This episode takes place in my bedroom, in my childhood home. We dive into the concept of taking up space and some of my philosophical takes on this phenomenon. I then share a bit of my own story on my decision to take up space by allowing my ideas and desires come to life, including the idea of this podcast.

With much love
