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?

    Wanjiru & Bett - S6 | E7

    In this episode, Wanjiru shares the deeply personal story of her relationship with Bett. This love unfolds not as a dramatic coming-of-age queer tale, but as something quieter and more profound: the journey of finding yourself through another person. What begins as an unexpected connection slowly evolves into a relationship that challenges assumptions about identity, belonging, and what love is supposed to look like. With honesty, humour, and tenderness, Wanjiru reflects on the moments that shaped their bond - the beautiful, the complicated, and the transformative.

    Basma & Omaya - S6 | E6

    This week on So This Is Love, Basma shares a story that will challenge what you think you know about Muslim girls and choice. Basma grew up in a home where love felt distant, and approval, especially from her mother, Omaya, felt earned. A strong-willed daughter with a voice of her own, she often found herself shut down instead of seen. As the pressures of marriage and conformity started to build, Basma learns how to stand her ground - how to survive.  Today, we ask, is there a meeting point between your independent desires and the life society expects you to live? What does it really cost to live authentically? And when the pioneering spirit calls your name, is it right or reckless to obey?

    Faraja & Nanga - S6 | E5

    Faraja and Nanga is a deeply personal story about faith, love and the quiet courage it takes to choose your own path. Faraja grew up cherished by her father, Nanga, and was the apple of his eye. She was raised in what she remembers as a happy and stable home after her mother’s sudden absence. When her family later became Jehovah’s Witnesses, life shifted in subtle but significant ways. Faraja followed the rules without question until romance, curiosity, and a growing sense of self began to ask more of her. Support this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819

    Amari & Rose - S6 | E3

    Today’s episode is about two sisters raised by survival. One stepped in where a mother fell away, the other learned to run instead of stay. Through Amari’s emotional recollection, we observe how, through her eyes, love becomes duty, sacrifice becomes expectation, and resentment quietly takes root. This is a story about sisterhood, choice, and the kind of wounds that time alone doesn’t heal.

    Makena & David - S6 | E1

    Welcome to Season 6 In this episode, Makena looks back at a marriage she rushed into at a very vulnerable time in her life. What seemed right on paper quickly revealed bigger differences in values, expectations, and the reasons they both chose each other. As real life set in, so did the quiet tensions that slowly reshaped their relationship. This episode is an honest conversation about escaping, awakening, and the moment you realise love isn’t enough to hold two very different worlds together.  Consider supporting this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819 or PayPal ⁠⁠sothisislovepodcastke@gmail.com If you or someone you know is affected by domestic or sexual violence, find support here: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODUzNDUyODYyMzIwNDA3?igsh=eXkyNWRmZW1lenh5

    Gathoni (Louisa) & Kevo - *Bonus Episode*

    In this episode, we meet Gathoni (her real name, but going as Louisa in this episode), once full of promise, now caught in the quiet unravelling of a love that previously felt like home. As success shifts the balance of her marriage, admiration turns to control, and affection to fear. This is the story of a woman learning to recognize her worth again, a journey through naivety, power and the courage it takes to finally choose herself.
