Full Transcript

There's the version of you that thinks she knows. And then there's the version life reveals after you grow through some things. It's in the moments you didn't plan for where life really shows you who you are. This podcast explores those moments, the ones that confuse us, humble us, and even push us to grow. We talk through it, honestly, imperfectly, yes, and out loud. Right now there is someone out there with a wound in exact shape of your words. The relationship is just going to mirror back to you what brought you in this situation first place. So there was like this other life that happened to this version of me that didn't exist anymore. That may translate as that or wrong to the person that you're interacting with. Where do I start? I'm Chidama and this is For What Do I Know? A space for honest conversations, lived experiences, and growth in real time. Because life keeps teaching us, and sometimes the most honest thing you can say is, but what do I know? So welcome to a new chapter of this podcast. We'll have new guests, slightly new energy, but the very same curiosity we've had from the beginning.
