• s3e3: introducing "the side conversations" | let's talk about identity | finding purpose in failure

  Who are you—really? Welcome to "the side conversations"—a space for raw, unfiltered reflections on the things that weigh heavy on my heart. These are the conversations that I can’t keep to myself— a deep dive into the lessons, struggles, and revelations from my own journey. In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the weight of identity and the danger of tying it to just one thing. We often define ourselves by our careers, achievements, relationships, or even failures. But what happens when those things shift? When you lose the job, the title, or the sense of certainty you once had? Failure is not your identity. Neither is success. Your worth isn’t determined by a single moment, a role you play, or a season you’re in. It’s easy to get so consumed by one aspect of your life that you start believing it is your entire existence. But you are more than that. Let’s have an honest conversation about detaching from false identities, embracing growth, and rediscovering who you are beyond what you do.

• s2e8: session with Emmanuel KS Bope, current Medical student from Wits University

  In the mid-season finale episode of the podcast, I had Emmanuel KS Bope on. Emmanuel is currently a third-year Wits Medical Student and the business owner of Q Fitness. He was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa within a Congolese household, which is why his home language is French. However, he is proud of both his origins and is looking forward to making an impact in most African countries someday. In our conversation, we spoke about Emmanuel's experience with starting two businesses while studying, his SIX-YEAR journey of getting into medicine, his experience with failure and how he dealt with that, how his family reacted to his failure and so much more!
