In this episode, I sat down with my dear friend, Asha, to discuss her decision to move away from her hometown after college. As many know, our community (Somali + Immigrant + Muslim) is not the biggest fan of leaving the nest alone. Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly about moving away from home. You can find Asha (and her cat Mochi) below: https://www.instagram.com/ashuni.a/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/mochii.muffin/?hl=en

Welcome back to the second season of Is It Worth A Conversation? It's only right we start the new season in the new year by discussing how we can intentionally set goals. We all fall into the pattern of setting goals mindlessly without allocating the designated time to reflect. Reflection leads to growth, and that's what we love to discuss on this podcast.

Welcome to the final episode of the first season. I wanted to leave you with ten reminders that will hopefully get you to finish the year strongly. If you want to keep in touch, follow: @isitworthaconversation on Instagram.

What does it really mean to show up as ourselves at work? Where does that really stem from? And is work identity a full representation of who were are? I invited my dear friend Asha to talk about her experiences in the workspace and how she intentionally shows up in her authentic self. In this episode, we laugh, we discuss, and we explore topics that we are still processing and learning about. With that being said, our views do not reflect our workplaces, and we are both happy in our respective jobs lol. Here's the link to the feeling wheel: https://feelingswheel.com/

TW: Mental Health For this episode, I decided to pause my regular programming to talk about my mental health in the past couple of weeks. I wanted to share a raw side of what I go through. I didn't want to paint a perfect picture because my life is not perfect in any shape or form. So, I moved this week's episode and decided to share what I'm going through and how I'll work on getting myself out of the rut I'm in.

Sometimes, it’s hard to admit that fear is the key driver behind our decisions. Whether your fear is mainly nerves, or full on panic, understanding your decisions and the role fear plays in that can help you make better decisions today. If you’re brave enough to answer this, let me know what role fear plays in your decisions?

This episode is a chill one. I talk about some life updates and discuss some of the things that have been irking my soul. After listening to the episode, let me know what books you've been enjoying and would recommend. Let me know on IG: @isitworthaconversation

This episode is a special one. I brought my sister, Fardos, who is a recent mother, to discuss how we re-meet our mothers as we get older. We dive into how society influences your decisions, deciding to be a mother and the fear around it, and how our own mothers play a role in that. The audio is not the best quality, and I want to apologize for that. I'm still learning, and I hope you can look past it and enjoy the episode because it is a really good one.

In this episode, we are covering a topic that hits close to home. People pleasing. I will raise my hand and admit that I am a recovering people pleaser. But I genuinely believe when you know better, you do better, as my good sis Oprah said. So, this episode will focus on the good, the bad, and the ugly of People-pleasing. Be ready because I'll call you out just as much as I'm calling myself out, with love, of course.

This is a short episode on how we can cancel some of the noise when it comes to Ramadan culture. Once we focus on our intentions for this month, we should be able to sustain all of the worships for the rest of the year inshallah.
