Have you ever experienced brain fog? You know the phase where you start questioning some decisions you made, whether you should be continuing what you’re doing…etc. Well that is exactly what I’m currently going through, and it happens every time I try something new: a new hobby, a new skill, or just starting a new journey, which initially seemed exciting for me, but because I’m overthinking it too much, I lose interest and stop doing it. In today’s episode we’re gonna talk about that and some of the reasons why I was absent and thought about stopping my podcast (didn’t even take me 2 months, that was quick) but also sharing how I’m facing this brain fog and trying to get past my negative self talk.
We’re seeing more and more trends going around constantly on social media, and as harmless as they seem, they are a lot more sinister than we think, and to be aware of the content we consume and that is at the same time consuming us is so necessary if we want a healthier relationship with social media. In this episode, I talk about some of the most recent trends the internet has seen and the identity crisis it caused to a lot of us.
Something I love about Algeria is its culture, we have such a rich and diverse history that we should start embracing more, especially on the fashion aspect. In this episode, we are talking about why we should absolutely start incorporating our culture in our fashion, dealing with cultural appropriation and reasons why I think we failed at preserving our culture, as well as some of my favorite Algerian fashion items that are easy to be worn casually. An episode for all the Algerian culture lovers and those who think it deserves more recognition.
Have you ever wondered why you were never able to stick to a hobby or a language you wanted to learn by yourself, or a course you wanted to finish? Well, in today’s episode, we will talk about the reasons why self-learning can be very challenging and why most of us easily quit, how effective it is, and some advice on how to make it more enjoyable based on my personal experience.
Are you lost on what you want to do after high school, and you have literally no idea what is right for you? In this first episode of my podcast, I will be sharing with you guys some reasons why you might be lost, myths you need to get rid of, some famous stereotypes about careers we find in our Algerian society, and some tips on how to have a clearer vision for your future, that would hopefully give you more insight.
