In this deeply vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase speaks to the person who is always strong for others — but quietly struggling inside.After a year marked by unimaginable loss, grief, and isolation, Norense opens up about what it feels like to keep showing up when the people you poured into don't show up for you. He unpacks the hidden weight carried by leaders, creators, and “the strong friend,” and asks the honest question many are afraid to say out loud:Where is God when everything hurts and no one seems to see you?This episode explores grief, faith, pride, identity, and the quiet seasons where God is doing deep internal work — even when life doesn't make sense. If you've ever felt alone in a crowded room, spiritually numb, or pressured to uphold an image while breaking inside, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Why strong people often feel the most isolatedHow grief exposes where we've tied our identityThe danger of pride disguised as “having it together”Why silence doesn't mean God is absentHow faith looks when answers don't comeLearning to walk forward without full understandingLetting go of old identities that no longer fit“God sees you — even when people don't.”“Strength doesn't mean you don't need support.”“Isolation can be a season of formation, not punishment.”“You don't have to understand to keep walking.”“The shoes that fit you before may not fit this version of you.”Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1l0FZP7IfsKKT19tSICklXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-bully/id1586471094Instagram:@kingno_ @mindbullypodcast

You are not a failure.Not because you're still single.Not because your timeline doesn't match everyone else's.Not because life hasn't unfolded the way you imagined.In this vulnerable, unfiltered episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase dismantles one of the quietest but most damaging lies many people carry:that love, marriage, or relationship status determines your worth.Fresh off attending a wedding and navigating the emotional aftermath of comparison, pressure, and internal questioning, Norense speaks directly to the person who goes home wondering:“What's wrong with me?”“Why am I still here?”“Why does everyone else seem ahead?”This episode is a reminder that timing is not failure, singleness is not deficiency, and comparison is not truth. Through faith, lived experience, and honest reflection, Norense reframes love, identity, and calling — pointing listeners back to God as the true standard, not culture, family pressure, or social media narratives.If you've ever felt behind, overlooked, or quietly ashamed because your life doesn't look like everyone else's — this episode is for you.What This Episode Centers On Why relationship pressure makes people mislabel themselves as “failures”How comparison distorts identity and creates unnecessary shameThe danger of rushing timing just to feel validatedWhy marriage is not the proof of God's favorHow culture confuses status with callingLearning to trust God's preparation process instead of fighting itWhy who you're becoming matters more than what you haveKey Quotes“You're not behind — you're being built.”“Timing is not rejection.”“Marriage is not the measure of your worth.”“Comparison makes you abandon who you are to chase who you're not.”“There is nothing wrong with you.”Listener TakeawayIf you've been carrying quiet shame because your life doesn't look how you thought it would by now — release it.You are not late.You are not less than.You are not a failure.You are in process.Listen & ConnectSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1l0FZP7IfsKKT19tSICklXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-bully/id1586471094
