This one is different.

No framework, no strategy. Just two women who've been through a lot, talking honestly about purpose, friendship, waiting, and joy.

In this conversation, Keren and Kuyet explore what it looks like to navigate real life with faith. From deep loss and healing to friendships that align with your calling, this episode blends laughter, honesty, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from actually living it.

If you're discerning your purpose, trying to hold joy in a hard season, or just craving a real conversation, pull up a chair.

This episode is for the one who looks at her resume and sees gaps instead of glory.

I went from no paid work experience to three job offers. Not because I had the perfect background. Because I stopped waiting to look qualified and started showing up like I already was.

This is the practical, honest story of how I navigated the Canadian job market as a Nigerian immigrant student with nothing but volunteer hours, prayer, and a willingness to apply anyway.

If you've been shrinking your applications to match what you think you deserve, this one is for you.

I left Nigeria at 18 with two overpacked boxes and a mother who marked both the blessings and the curses in her Bible before she let me go.

Eleven years later I'm back. And this episode is the real story of what those years made of me.

Not the highlight reel. The survival mode. The losses back to back. The rooms I wasn't supposed to be in. The version of myself I lost to hustle and the slow work of finding her again.

If you've ever carried the weight of being the one who made it, this one will find you where you are.

I came back to Nigeria after almost 11 years away.

I wasn't prepared for the heat, the noise, the potholes, or what it would do to my nervous system. But I also wasn't prepared for what coming home would show me about myself.

This episode is a stream of consciousness from someone still processing. The overstimulation, the guilt, the joy, the disorientation of belonging somewhere and feeling foreign at the same time.

But somewhere in the middle of it, a question surfaced. Maybe you haven't moved countries. Maybe you're coming home to something else entirely. A version of yourself. A voice you buried. A faith you put on a shelf.

If that's you, this one is for you too.

You're not lazy. You're not inconsistent. You're not broken.

You've just been in survival mode so long your body forgot what peace feels like.

This episode starts with dizziness and hospital visits and ends with something harder to ignore: the realization that exhaustion, overwhelm, and shutdown are not failures. They're signals. And they've been trying to tell you something.

If you've been showing up, doing the work, managing everything, but still feeling like something is quietly wrong, this episode is for you. Not to fix you. Just to name what's actually happening.

What do you do when Easter is over and your grief is still here?

This episode holds space for something many believers carry but rarely say out loud: Jesus got up. But the person I lost didn't. So what now?

This isn't a sermon. It's not a breakdown. It's a conversation for the woman who still misses someone, who feels numb, who's wondering where God is in the silence.

Grief doesn't cancel your faith. And questions don't make you a bad Christian.

You don't have to figure everything out today. Just one step.
