The Debrief episodes

  • How do I know who I am when I live according to everyone’s expectations??You is you no else is me..!

    This week on The Debrief, we’re getting real about identity — the quiet questions so many of us carry but don’t always say out loud.


    We unpack what it feels like to be navigating life while feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the very life you’ve built. What happens when you realise you’ve been living according to everyone else’s expectations… and now you’re not even sure who you are?


    We talk about:

    – ā€œHow do I know who I am when I’ve been shaped by everyone else’s expectations?ā€

    – The pressure of feeling like everyone else has it figured out

    – That unsettling feeling of ā€œmy life doesn’t feel like mineā€

    – Learning to come back to yourself and rediscover your voice


    Because the truth is: you is you, no one else is you. And maybe finding yourself isn’t about becoming someone new… but unlearning everything you were told to be.


    If you’ve ever felt disconnected, uncertain, or like you’re still figuring it out — this conversation is for you.

  • Are your standards protecting you… or isolating you? šŸ¤”

    This week on The Debrief, me and Priscah get real about relationship standards and what they actually mean for our love lives. From girl trips and living our best single lives, to questioning whether our expectations are too high — or exactly what they should be — we unpack it all.


    We talk about:

    ✨ Are we asking for too much or finally asking for what we deserve?

    ✨ Should your partner be close to ā€œperfectā€ā€¦ or is that a myth?

    ✨ How fear and past experiences can lead us to sabotage healthy relationships

    ✨ The fine line between protecting yourself and isolating yourself


    If you’ve ever wondered whether your standards are helping you or holding you back, this one’s for you.


    And don’t forget — we LOVE hearing from you šŸ«¶šŸ¾

  • Getaway Year Celebration and Honouring SeasonsšŸ’•šŸ¤

    This week on The Debrief, we’re talking about honouring seasons — the seasons of life that stretch us, grow us, and sometimes ask us to let go of who we used to be.

    We’re also celebrating Kisa’s birthday, taking a moment to reflect on what another year of life means, the lessons that come with it, and the beauty of embracing where you are right now.

    Plus, we share some Debriefs from our listeners about navigating season changes — when friendships shift, when life looks different than expected, and how to show up for yourself even when the transition feels uncomfortable.

    It’s an honest conversation about growth, reflection, and learning to honour every chapter of your life.

  • Strangers Again….. ā€œWe are no longer friends , do our plans still go ahead?

    Friendship breakups can be just as awkward as romantic ones… especially when you already had plans booked. šŸ‘€ In this episode of The Debrief, we unpack a listener dilemma: if you and a friend made plans together but the friendship has since ended… do the plans still go ahead? Or is everything automatically cancelled? We get into the grey area of loyalty, boundaries, and the unspoken rules of friendship when things fall apart.

    Then we switch gears and debrief our recent Giveon concert experience — the vibes, the vocals, the crowd, and whether it lived up to the hype. šŸŽ¶

    Join us as we talk friendship fallouts, awkward plans, and a little R&B therapy along the way.

  • Achievements , Friendship & Ghosting | Should I communicate if I leave Social Media??!

    This week on The Debrief, we’re getting real about modern friendship etiquette — or the total lack of it. Why do we ghost group chats but still scroll them later? Is disappearing from social media self-care… or silent communication? And when life gets busy and we level up, why does connection sometimes feel harder instead of easier?

    We unpack the awkward return after going quiet, the pressure to explain your absence, and that sneaky FOMO that hits when you realize the chat kept moving without you. From celebrating personal wins to navigating emotional distance, we’re talking about what we owe each other — and what we don’t.

    If you’ve ever muted a chat, vanished from socials, or wondered whether you should announce your exit like an airport departure… this one is for you. Raw, honest, and a little too relatable.

  • It won’t Always be this way - Growing Pains🄹

    Growth sounds beautiful… until it starts stretching you.

    In this episode, we debrief the discomfort that comes with evolving — the confusion, the resistance, the quiet shifts, and the moments you realize you can’t stay the same.

    We talk about:

    • What ā€œgrowing painsā€ actually feel like in real life

    • Outgrowing people, habits, and versions of yourself

    • How to navigate change when it feels unsettling

    • The tension between comfort and becoming

    • And the question we keep asking… do we all experience growing pains?

    If you’ve been feeling stretched, uncertain, or in-between versions of yourself — this conversation is for you.

  • The Balancing act of it all… Are we lying to ourself about balance??

    This week, we’re getting honest about the balancing act of life how we show up in different spaces, the pressure to adjust, and what it really means to find our center. From navigating expectations to staying true to ourselves, we’re unpacking the quiet tension between who we are and who we feel we need to be.


    If you’ve ever felt stretched between roles, environments, or identities… this conversation is for you.

    Join us as we reflect, laugh, and share what balance actually looks like in real life not perfection, just presence.


    ✨ Don’t forget to like, comment, and share your thoughts how do YOU find balance in the spaces you move through?

  • Jessica Pearson Giving us Confidence in the workplace ||Let’s Debrief our Jobs šŸ’šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļøšŸ’µ

    In this episode of The Debrief, we’re unpacking our career journeys — how we got into our jobs, what we thought we’d be doing versus where we actually landed, and the quiet (and sometimes loud) voice of imposter syndrome that follows us along the way.


    We talk honestly about navigating workspaces where you question if you really belong, learning on the job, and how we deal with self-doubt while still showing up and doing the work. If you’ve ever felt underqualified, out of place, or like you’re just ā€œfiguring it out as you go,ā€ this conversation is for you.


    Because the truth is — most of us are learning in real time.
