In this episode, we sit down with Anjeza, a MasterChef UK contestant, an Albanian woman, and someone who simply decided to take a chance on herself.We talk about the moment she applied for MasterChef, what it felt like stepping into something so public while living a normal, structured life, and the reality of putting yourself forward for something new. This isn’t just about cooking, it’s about courage, curiosity, identity, and allowing yourself to try without knowing the outcome.From growing up between cultures to navigating life after the show, this episode feels like what happens when three Albanian women sit down and speak honestly about life, choices, and taking risks.A calm, real, and refreshing conversation about stepping outside your comfort zone, even quietly.Listen now on all platforms.Trime Podcast Socials:Insta - https://www.instagram.com/trimepodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trimeeeeWebsite - https://www.trime.co.uk/Email - [email protected]'s SocialsInsta - https://www.instagram.com/leonardaaaaTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@leonardademolLejla's SocialsInsta - https://www.instagram.com/lejlaptmsTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lejlaptms

This episode is just us. No guests. No filters. Just real life decisions that change everything.

Lejla opens up about the moment she realised her job was slowly eating away at her life, and the terrifying decision to walk away from stability to focus on what truly matters: building advocacy programmes, speaking, and creating real services for women in our community.

We talk honestly about fear.
Fear of leaving a salary.
Fear of not having money.
Fear shaped by childhood and survival.

But we also talk about purpose, and what happens when you can no longer ignore the work you know you were placed here to do.

Leo shares what’s currently unfolding behind the scenes, her own plans, and a truth we don’t speak about enough:

Women in our communities are rarely taught to invest in themselves, their education, or their future. We’re taught to survive, not to build.

This episode is about unlearning that.
Choosing yourself.
And building something meaningful, even when it feels terrifying.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between security and purpose, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to another honest conversation at Trime.

In this episode of Trime, we sit with Enrika, an Albanian model and athletic aerobics dancer who is quietly, powerfully choosing a different path.

Enrika’s story isn’t about shock or spectacle. It’s about discipline. Expression. And what it means to follow your own rhythm in a culture that still expects women to stay small, predictable, and silent.

She speaks openly about her journey into modelling and aerobics dancing as a sport, about losing weight and realising she no longer felt like herself, and about how returning to her natural state came without guidance or support. We explore what it’s like to become in a community that often looks backwards, and how Albanian women are forced to navigate visibility, ambition, and difference on their own.

This conversation is about choosing yourself.
About moving forward when the culture hasn’t caught up.
About being an Albanian woman who does it differently.

Enrika reminds us that there is more than one way to exist, more than one way to be strong, and more than one way to belong.

Welcome back MOTRA! We are officially back, we did have to take a short break in April from filming because we had a lot of projects to finish, but we are officially back, we are not going anywhere. We thought we would kick this episode off by talking about our mums, this episode brings with it a lot of emotions for both of us. We wanted to explore the relationships that we have with our mums and how our life decisions have impacted that relationship, possibly changed it forever.
