By the Awa

Welcome to the first Unapologetically Unfiltered episode—shorter, raw, and straight from the heart. We're diving into intuition, spiritual gifts, and how everything in life feels connected. I also touch on my experiences with psychedelics, the fascinating Telepathy Tapes podcast by Ky Dickens, and those unexplainable moments that make you question reality. Let’s explore the magic of the unknown together! ✨

For 15 years, I was told my pain was “normal.” In this episode, I open up about my long and exhausting journey to an endometriosis diagnosis, starting from my early teenage years with debilitating periods to finally being heard. I’ll be sharing key facts about endometriosis, the alarming disparities in how Black women are treated in healthcare, and the symptoms you need to look out for. If you’ve ever felt dismissed in your pain, this one’s for you 🍒.

In this episode, we’re diving into limerence—the all-consuming infatuation that feels like love but isn’t. I open up about my years-long obsession with a boy from school, how I finally set myself free, and how history repeated itself in my most recent relationship. This time, though, I chose to step back, heal, and unpack the deeper layers of attachment and self-worth 🫂.

In this episode, we’re embracing ✨nostalgia✨ as I take you through my childhood, from my early years in Hackney to my experiences in primary and secondary school. I share the highs, the struggles, and the moments that shaped me into who I am today—including my tumultuous relationship with my mum and how it impacted me. Expect real talk, reflections, and a little bit of laughter as we revisit the past and unpack how it all connects to the present.

In this episode of By the Awa, I’m opening up about one of the most painful experiences of my life: finding out my ex was cheating just months after I finally moved out of my toxic household. I’ll share how I processed the betrayal, faced my own patterns (hello, limerence) regained my self-worth, and began the journey of moving on. If you’ve ever been blindsided by heartbreak, this one’s for you. 🍒❤️‍🩹

Hey, babe! In this first episode of By the Awa, I’m sharing why I started this podcast and the rollercoaster of the past year and a half. From heartbreak and healing to losing myself and finding my way back, this is my journey to becoming unapologetically me. If you’ve ever felt lost, trust—you're not alone. Let’s talk growth, resilience, and stepping into your power! 🍒
