Knotless Talks

Eid Mubarak! In this episode, I am joined by my sis Marieme to discuss hardships. We elaborate on the lessons learned from the book « Reclaim You Heart » by Yasmin Mogahed & the Digital Sisterhood Podcast. We also talk about how it has helped us shift our perspective on life and elevated our spiritual journeys.

This week I am joined by my girl Larissa! We are discussing (our) unsustainable self-care practices and telling you all you need to know to effectively take care of your mind and body.

Join me in this insightful conversation about patience and one of the many secrets of divine love: Divine Timing. In this episode, Aziza and I share realizations and the importance of trusting Divine timing in one's spiritual journey.

Lynn and I are discussing our struggles with the imposter syndrome especially as black women through anecdotes. We are also giving tips & ways to cope!

On today's episode, my friend Betty and I talk about grief through our experiences losing a loved one.

Join Adriana, Safell, Lynn and I as we reflect on our three years at Jacobs and share our feels and hopes about graduating college. All that while we are outside, watching the sunset!

In this episode, Aziza and I are unpacking the situation in Senegal, sharing our feelings and giving tips for your mental health and sanity. Please keep amplifying our voices, spread awareness, and take care of yourselves!  Our hearts goes out to our brothers who have lost their lives fighting for our democracy and a better Senegal. The government failed you, you deserved better.  Thank you everyone that has been actively participating. We truly deserve better. #FreeSenegal 

Today's episode is a Black History Month special; Lynn, Benni and I engage in an honest conversation on what it means to us, open up about our Blackness, experiences, triggers, fears and more!

Dans cet épisode, Mouyana et moi parlerons des études supérieures et des difficultés rencontrées (être loin de chez soi, s'occuper de sa santé mentale, les effets de la pandémie...). Nous aborderons également le sujet de la stigmatisation des femmes dans le milieu scientifique, plus spécifiquement dans la société sénégalaise mais aussi nos aspirations pour l'avenir et bien plus encore!

In the african community, being vocal about social issues/eloquent/smart, doing things out of the ‘norm’ or simply growing up out of the continent are often seen in a bad light. In this episode, Bineta & I are undoing the knots on this tendency of calling people ‘white’ — « Toubab bou ñuul » in Senegal. 

Join me and my girls inside the groupchat as we discuss the importance of having girls as friends, friendships in college and distance friendships. -- Larissa, Ayesha et moi discutons de l'importance d'avoir des amitiés féminines, nos expériences sur les relations amicales à distance et les amitiés à l'université.

Today I am joined by Momar et Ibrahima! We are discussing the society and men's attitude towards mental health and emotions. (toxic masculinity? lack of emotional intelligence?) 

Join me and Fatouma in this insightful (and funny) discussion about the responsibility that we, as muslims, have to care for the environment. We will undo the knots about the capitalist system, the youth, the governments but also about Islamic teachings and climate change. Please note that people of all religious background are welcomed to listen to this episode as we are all concerned by environmental issues. Enjoy!

Après avoir regardé un TedTalk sur la procrastination, Meïssa, Moé et moi avons décidé d'avoir une discussion sur nos tendances à remettre les choses au lendemain que ce soit dans nos études ou projets de vie. Nous partageons aussi des méthodes pour booster notre productivité et apprendre à structurer nos journées.  TedTalk link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU 

Today I am with my sis Marieme (Host of Aweless Podcast) and we are discussing the reasons why we started podcasting. As two young senegalese women, it was interesting to see that people don't really listen to Podcasts back home even though we have a bunch of new content creators *we love to see it*. We will also be giving tips to all those who would like to start a Youtube channel, a Podcast, or a blog. Don't hold back! 

This week I am joined by my girl Zahra! We discuss this new trend of making petty behaviors and toxic traits pass as "cool" while ignoring the fact that we are training ourselves to be emotionally unavailable. This episode is a friendly reminder that romanticizing mental disorders is not cute and being purposely mean or toxic isn't a flex! 

This week, my friend Sokhna and I will discuss on the importance of taking our time. Society and social media gave us the illusion that we have to reach specific milestones by a certain age while ignoring the fact that everyone has their own journey. We will also include the case of entrepreneurship and the toll on our mental health. This episode is a reminder that life is a marathon, not a race! 

Welcome to the very first episode of Knotless Talks! My guest Thioya and I will be talking about Self-Control and its importance.
