  Loise & Clark - S7 | E4 27.08.2026 1год 13хв

  She used to run towards the wrong kind of fire, you know, the kind that burns fast and leaves you cold. Loise knew this pattern well. Handsome trouble, charming exits, a heart she kept handing to partners who kept dropping it. And sometimes, she did the same. Especially to the good ones.Then came a heartbreak that forced her to ask herself the harder question: not "why do they fail me," but "why do I keep choosing this?"Eventually, Clark, who was always in the background, steps into the foreground.Some love stories start with lightning. This one started with someone looking in and finally looking up.Please support this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819.

  Eva & Captain - S7 | E3 13.08.2026 1год 6хв

  A father-daughter relationship is one of the most important bonds a girl can have. It is often where she first learns her own worth. Eva didn't get that early on. She grew up the odd one out in her own home with a mother who saved her warmth for her two brothers and a stepfather who filled a space but never quite stepped into the role. Then, in walks Captain; calm, confident and even a little bit flashy. Here stood the father she did not know she had and one who, through gentle persistence, teaches Eva something she had never been taught: what it feels like to have someone in your corner.Please support this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819.

  Candice & Henry - S7 | E1 16.07.2026 52хв

  ( ( ( And we are back, baby!!! 📣 ) ) ) After years of talking to people on the other side of relationship breakdowns, this season, we’re doing something different. We are going in search of the ones who made it, those who are still together and continually choose each other. Relationships that have stood the test of time. Kicking things off, we have Candice, who met Henry at work while deep in her “sprinkle sprinkle” era; juggling multiple men in search of financial security. And then, in a twist of fate, we see her falling for someone who was actually all in for her, but this meant confronting habits that almost cost her everything. This is a story about how a young woman found her way to becoming a one-man woman and what’s kept her and Henry together since. Support this podcast via our mpesa till number

  Basma & Omaya - S6 | E6 26.02.2026 1год 16хв

  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?Consider supporting this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819 or PayPal ⁠⁠[email protected] you or someone you know is affected by domestic or sexual violence, find support here: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODUzNDUyODYyMzIwNDA3?igsh=eXkyNWRmZW1lenh5
