So This Is Love

Welcome to So This is Love, a podcast about love, the loss of love, heartbreak and the meeting of self. We share stories on how the relationships we once had teach us about who we are and define who we become. And maybe through these stories, we can answer that age old question; is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

    AMARA & ALEEYA - S4 | E9

    Amara’s mother was vibrant, beautiful, and free-spirited—a woman who spoke with an enviable confidence and carried herself with effortless charm. But behind the poise was a crippling addiction, an absence that shaped Amara’s childhood and forced her to step into shoes far too big, far too soon. This is a story of survival, resilience, search for identity and of the quiet grief that comes with loving someone consumed by their own demons.

    Florence & Juniour - S4 | E5

    Today, I sit down with Florence—a woman whose story is as heartbreaking as it is revealing. Raised in a turbulent home, Florence sought love in all the wrong places, leading to a relationship with Junior that teetered between desperation and dysfunction. She struggled with her mental health, self-image, and the echoes of a childhood marked by conflict. Her actions were at times harmful, but they were rooted in pain. As Florence shares her story, the lines between victim and aggressor blur, reminding us of the complexities of the human experience. Through Florence’s narration, we explore the duality of love, loss and the lingering shadows of the past all while asking ourselves this conflicting question, can someone be both wounded and responsible for wounding others?

    Shaka & Bogad - S4 | E4

    Growing up under his father’s terrifying authority, Shaka developed wounds that ran deep—wounds that followed him into adulthood, affecting his self-worth, connections, and eventually mental health. In this narration, we see how a young man’s story reminds us of the powerful impact that parental influence has on our development. We also are taken through a compelling account of a man’s journey to becoming a better man especially now when he finds himself in a familiar yet novice position, fatherhood. What is different this time is that, Shaka is on a mission to break the cycle of pain and abuse. For anyone carrying scars from the past, Shaka’s story reminds us that healing is possible.
