UPDATED WEEKLY

Still Becoming™ is for the ones who walk with questions in their pockets and hope in their hands. It is a space for fragile courage—for remembering and forgetting, for breaking open and blooming again. Here, I speak the unfinished and the in-between: the pauses, the almosts, the truths that tremble as they arrive. Because becoming is not a destination—it’s the rhythm we live inside. Hosted by Catherine Okonkwo.

Episode 10: A Gratitude Note from Still Becoming™

This episode is long overdue. I planned to record it last December, but life happened, and here we are. Episode 10 is short, honest, and deeply personal. It’s a gratitude note from my heart. I thank God for life, for growth, and for the grace to begin Still Becoming™. I share why I named this brand Still Becoming. not just as a podcast, but as an umbrella for everything I create: my books, my reflections, my becoming. If you’re listening, you are a Becomer too; someone growing, learning, evolving, and trusting the process, even when it’s slow. As the year closes, this episode is simply my way of saying thank you: to God, to my mentors, to everyone who inspired me, and to you for walking this journey with me. This is not the end , it’s a gentle pause. There is so much more ahead. Thank you for being here. And as always, keep becoming.

Episode 9 — How We Change Each Other

In this episode of Still Becoming™, I return after a little pause to share something that’s been sitting heavy on my heart: the truth that we don’t grow alone. Sometimes it’s a word, a smile, a presence — small moments that shape us in ways we never forget. And whether we realize it or not, we’re shaping others too. This is a reminder that even in the quiet, even in the waiting, we are still becoming — together.

Episode 8 — When the Shoes No Longer Fit

Sometimes life doesn’t hurt because we’ve lost something — it hurts because we’ve outgrown it. In this episode of Still Becoming™, I share a story about a boy clinging to his favorite pair of shoes until his mother gently reminds him: the pain isn’t about the shoes, it’s about his growth. We, too, face moments when relationships, roles, or seasons no longer fit, even if they once felt perfect. It’s not a loss, but an invitation to step into a bigger version of ourselves. Join me as we reflect on the courage it takes to release what we’ve outgrown, the tenderness of moving forward, and the beauty of becoming who we are meant to be.

Episode 7 — The Chair by the Window.

“The Chair by the Window” is more than just a story—it’s a reflection on presence, memory, and the quiet strength we carry within us. In this episode of Still Becoming™, I share the tender story of my Grandmother and her chair by the window—how it became more than a seat, but a place of waiting, reflection, and becoming. This episode invites you to pause, breathe, and find beauty in the unfinished parts of your own journey. Because sometimes, healing and self-discovery come not in the noise, but in the stillness.

Episode 6 – The Day I Wanted to Give Up

There are days that change you—quietly, painfully, and completely. In this raw and reflective episode, I take you into one of mine. This is not just a story—it’s a moment of confession, a reminder that we’re allowed to feel broken, exhausted, and uncertain. But somewhere between silence and surrender, there’s still becoming. Let this episode hold you, remind you, and maybe even help you breathe again.

Episode 5 — Be Kind to Yourself

We’re often taught to give endlessly—to show up, to care, to extend grace. But what if the first person we need to be kind to... is ourselves? In this episode, I take you into the quiet spaces of self-compassion. Because healing doesn’t grow in harshness. Growth doesn’t flourish in guilt. And love cannot fully bloom in a heart that hasn’t first learned to be gentle with itself. Being kind to yourself is not indulgence. It is the foundation. The beginning. The necessary soil from which all other kindness flows. Take a breath with me. Let’s slow down. Let’s unlearn the self-blame, the perfectionism, the constant push to perform. You’re not behind. You’re becoming. This is your journey. This is my journey. This is Still Becoming™.

Episode 4 — The Grief No One Sees: Letting Go of Who You Used to Be

There is a quiet kind of grief—one that doesn’t wear black or receive flowers. It’s the ache of releasing a version of yourself that once felt safe… even if it no longer fits. In this episode, we explore the invisible mourning that comes with inner transformation—the identity shifts, the quiet exits, the silent goodbyes to who you once were. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I don’t recognize me anymore,” or felt the lonely weight of becoming someone new—this is your space. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You are grieving, healing, and becoming—at once. And even that is holy.

Episode 3 — The Silence Before the Breakthrough: What No One Tells You About Becoming

There is a silence no one talks about… The kind that feels like failure. Like you're being forgotten. Like you're being buried instead of planted. But this silence? It’s sacred. It’s the womb of your becoming. In this episode of Still Becoming™, we walk through the hush—the heavy, aching stillness that comes right before the light breaks through. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or painfully in between, this message is for you. Let this episode sit with you. Let it breathe into your doubt. Let it remind you: You are not lost. You are becoming. — Catherine Okonkwo Voice of Still Becoming™

Episode 2 – Don’t Give Up on Yourself — Even When It Hurts

This is Episode 2 of Still Becoming ™. In this episode of Still Becoming™, I speak directly to the person who's barely holding it together — the one who feels like giving up sounds easier than holding on. This isn't just motivation. It’s truth. The truth that the greatest disappointment in life isn't when others give up on you — it's when you give up on yourself. You were made for more. There’s something inside you that the world hasn’t seen yet. This voice, this space, this episode — it’s for your healing, your strength, and your reminder to keep becoming. This is your journey. This is my journey. This is Still Becoming™.
