I’ve started over more times than I can count.
In this episode, I’m sharing the moments that forced me to rebuild my life from the ground up—moving countries as a child, navigating my identity, losing relationships I thought would last forever, closing chapters I wasn’t ready to let go of, and finding myself asking the same question over and over again:
“Now what?”
For a long time, I thought starting over meant I had failed. But the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised that some of life’s biggest transformations begin when everything falls apart.
If you’re currently rebuilding, feeling lost, questioning your next step, or struggling to let go of a version of yourself that no longer fits, this conversation is for you.
Welcome to Simspace—a space for becoming.
Real talk. No filter.There are conversations that stay with you… and then there are moments that change how you see everything.
This episode unpacks the “two finger ultimatum”, a situation many people recognise but rarely speak about openly.
On the surface, it looks like a choice. In reality, it’s something much deeper.
We’re talking about family, pressure, religion, identity, and what happens when love starts to feel conditional.
What does it actually mean to be asked to choose between who you are… and where you belong? And more importantly,
is that even a real choice? This isn’t a neat conversation. It’s layered, uncomfortable, and real.
Real talk. No filter.Before I bring in guests and conversations, I had to start here — with my own story.
In this first episode of Simspace, I share why this podcast exists, what I’ve carried in silence, and why it was finally time to stop shrinking.
This isn’t a TED Talk. This isn’t therapy. This is survival, healing, rage, joy — and real talk with no filter.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fully fit in any box, like you’re too much for one world and not enough for the other — this space is for you.
Let’s go there. This is just the beginning.

SIMSPACE — Real Talk. No Filter.
Welcome to Simspace — a raw, honest space where nothing is off limits.
Hosted by Sim — Somali, Muslim, Lesbian, Black — this…
These are the conversations we have in our heads, in therapy, in late night voice notes — but rarely hear in public.
Expect real talk, a few awkward pauses, some tears (maybe mine), and a lot of laughter. Some episodes will feature intimate guest conversations, others will be raw monologues straight from Sim’s heart.
This isn’t a TED Talk. This isn’t therapy. This is a voice note to the collective heart.
New episodes drop weekly. Welcome to the space.
