This episode is a little different. It’s been about a year in the making because I wasn’t exactly sure I wanted to record it at all. I’m just sharing a bit of my own story and my struggle with Imposter Syndrome. Because much of this episode is me just talking to you, the listener, I was quite hesitant to share. This wasn’t a planned conversation with a guest like my usual format, although I do share a bit of the conversation I had with LaNia the Artist when we recorded our episode together. This was me just trying to be as open as possible about a problem that is not unique to me. I’m slowly understanding what this podcast is and where it’s going. I want this to be a space where people openly share their stories, and I need to boldly share mine as well. This is a short episode, but I believe you’ll get a little more insight into your host, Robyn Alece Gibson, or RAG if you feel so inclined.

This podcast is still very much trying to find its way, but one thing that I think it highlights rather well is the importance of connection and friendship. In this episode my best friend, Ciera Lewis, and I are celebrating 20 years of friendship. This is especially significant to me because I realize that not everyone has people in their lives that stick around for that long to support them in their dreams, cheer for them in their triumphs, and comfort them in their hard times. I’m very blessed to have that and to know that I’m that person for someone else. Thanks for being my best friend Behfran!! Join us as we reminisce, joke, and talk about important life changes and self care. Celebrate your friends and let them know how much you appreciate them!

We all need spaces where we can get quiet, reflect, recharge, pray, and allow ourselves to put down the chaotic baggage we carry from day to day. These are spaces where we can be vulnerable enough to admit when we’re lost, tired, weak, confused, or just need a break. These spaces are sacred because of the power they hold for our healing and a reverence for that which is greater than ourselves. I had the awesome privilege of joining my good friend Ramona Dallum in her reflective space to record this episode. We spoke about different stages in our lives, what growth looks like and means to us, the importance of allowing ourselves to be who we are authentically, and some of the lessons we’ve learned so far on our journeys through life. I’m excited to share this episode! Grab a snack (we sure did) and settle in for this sixth episode of Life is Weird. I invite you to reflect on your own journey and what brought you here thus far.
