Life Lessons with Kim : Recent Episodes
Kimberley Chitando
If you're in you're early 20s and you're looking for a pick me up this one is for you! This podcast is for those who want to relate to others trying to make something of themselves whilst still enjoying life in the chaos.
Soooo this episode is very vulnerable and very honest...it will probably make you laugh, cry but most importantly reflect. I discuss the most common ups and downs of adulting - choosing your own path, and the loneliness that comes with it. I'm a girl's girl through and through so instead of begrudgingly going through this season I have decided to lean into it and embrace where I am at. If you're going through something similar, I hope this episode makes you feel less alone and if you're not going through this feeling I hope you make an effort to check on your friends that are.
Anyway, love and light till the next time! :)

Here goes nothing...but my FIRST book review! This week's episode focuses on the ' Black Girl's Manifesto for Change - Taking Up Space' by Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi. I genuinely believe that every black girl who is about to go to university, is in university or has graduated needs to read this! It is a book that has a lot of material that equips you with words for certain situations that you may go or have already gone through. It includes topics that I am very passionate about and I hope you enjoy my review as I talk about personal experiences of my own.
If you like the review of the book why not buy it! Here are the links to support the authors!

So this is a follow-up to my last episode, we are coming full circle people! It's been a very hectic weekend and my voice is a bit hoarse but I hope you enjoy my honest and transparent opinion on the chaos of your 20s. In this episode I discuss graduation blues, changing dynamics between my parents and I, the changes in friendships, updates in my romantic relationship, and personal growth! The only constant in life is change, it's hard but necessary although it may be chaotic it is for the best.
Anyway, see you on the next one!

I'm back on my zoom! This episode is inspired by the current changes that I am experiencing in my life - very scary and very humbling but I think its normal for people in their early 20s to be growing and going through. There's a line in Andy Mineo's song Uncomfortable that reads 'comfort be the thing that'll make a king fall' and I honestly believe that growth does not occur in comfortable places and this is just a period of time where discomfort is necessary. I hope that you enjoy this episode and please feel free to share your thoughts with me!
Also a shoutout to my unofficial manager Tino, my cousin who stays encouraging and pushing me to create content that I love! <3

This one is a bit controversial but it needed to be said! Christina, Rahema and I discuss the touchy subject of staying friends with people who may not necessarily get along and the nuanced stance that often needs to be taken or at least considered.

After a long break I'm backkkk! In this episode I discuss emotional vulnerability and dealing with negative emotions. My episodes are largely based on how I perceive situations and go through life generally and this is one of them. I hope you enjoy and do not forget that it is okay to be vulnerable! Reach out to your community you're not alone <3

I hope you enjoy the episode and feel free to message me and share your experiences! It's a safe space over here <3
Hello, guess who's back! Today I am with my day one Nyasha, we reflect and discuss settling in romantic relationships. We cover the aspects of culture, peer pressure and insecurities that often lead to women settling for less than they deserve. Nyasha and I are based in different countries and we recorded through the SpotifyforPodcasters app for the first time! So please be kind when it comes to the reviews and opinions :) I hope you enjoy the episode!
Guess who's back!! Thank you so much for over 600 plays I appreciate it so much! This episode is about letting go of academic validation which can be really difficult when it's something you have grown up with and it is a big part of your identity. I unpack some of the ways that I have tried to deal with it and it has been through understanding that this life is meant to be lived (and to achieve). I hope you enjoy the episode and I'll see you on the next one!
The podcast is back with another feature - one of my closest friends, ride or die, and my homegirl <3 - Rahema. In this episode, we discuss friendship breakups, a very painful but common thing that happens during your early 20s. We discuss what we think causes them, how to navigate through the pain, and what we've learnt from the demise of such relationships. I hope you enjoy this episode and take a couple of notes.
Welcome back to another episode! This episode is about how to establish/assert your independence within different relationships in your life be it family, friendships or romantic relationships. I hope this short episode helps you realise some of your personal goals and you enjoyed it.
This has to be one of my fave episodes ( you can tell by the length). I was joined by the lovely Charity - a friend, a confidant and is just THAT gworrl. In this episode we discuss our experiences being plus size from our love life, race, fitness and everything in-between! I hope you enjoy, and to all my plus size girlies out there - I gotchu! <3
This episode is a bit more personal and it's about my past year and the growth that I have experienced as a person. I hope that you find some relevance and inspiration in this episode!
On this episode I am joined by one of my older brothers - Nyasha! He is someone that I have always looked up to and I'm glad that he has taken the time to share the advice he finds important for your 20s. In this episode we discuss our relationship as siblings, comparison with peers, friendships, relationships and making the most of your 20s. I hope you enjoy!
Cancel Culture is so prevalent in these current times and has served as a public good by making sure that people of high status are held accountable. This often reminds us that they are human too; however, an extremist element does come with it, and I think it is important to take a balanced approach. I hope you enjoy my take.
Finding a life balance and/or time to make sure I am allowing myself to be human has been really hard for me for most of my life. However, it took a a stressful year that almost led me into a burnout that changed my perspective. It's important to find a balance that allows you to rest and to treat yourself with grace. Hope you enjoy!
Welcome to an episode of The Relationship Series! Obviously, when it comes to romantic partners there are so many aspects to discuss however this episode deals with navigating heartbreak and making it out of the dark tunnel. This episode also features one of my best friends Christina and I hope that you enjoyed her presence on the podcast. Enjoy!
Let me know any and all of your opinions! I love the interaction from the audience.
Friendship is super important to our lives, humans were not made to live in solitude but rather in community! This is why I think it is such an important conversation to have - with that being said a whole series will be dedicated to it throughout the podcast. This episode focuses on recognizing friendship styles - different types of friendship but also different standards to those friendships.
This episode deals with feeling behind when it comes to career and life goals in comparison to your peers. Hopefully it will help learning how to deal with the underlying feelings and finding a way to navigate them.
