So This Is Love

So This Is Love

Welcome to So This is Love, a podcast about love, the loss of love, heartbreak and the meeting of self. We share stories on how the relationships we once had teach us about who we are and define who we become. And maybe through these stories, we can answer that age old question; is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

    Ella & Makaburi - S5 | E1

    She was the typical fresh-faced, doe-eyed high school graduate eager to embark on a new chapter after completing school.  He was a man of God. Right off the bat, Ella is enthusiastic to make herself fully useful in the church. She is swept up in the glow of youthful faith and the promise of a community that feels like home. But when Makaburi, the charismatic leader everyone reveres, draws her closer, the line between spiritual mentorship and something far more sinister begins to blur. In this powerful and unflinching episode, Ella traces her journey through betrayal, silence, and a darkness she was taught to blame on herself.  What happens when religious guidance crosses a dark line? This week, Ella shares a story that’s not just shocking—it’s a wake-up call. A powerful, painful, and deeply necessary conversation on grooming, silence, and reclaiming power.

    Amara & Aleeya - S4 | E9

    Amara’s mother was vibrant, beautiful, and free-spirited—a woman who spoke with an enviable confidence and carried herself with effortless charm. But behind the poise was a crippling addiction, an absence that shaped Amara’s childhood and forced her to step into shoes far too big, far too soon. This is a story of survival, resilience, search for identity and of the quiet grief that comes with loving someone consumed by their own demons.

    Grace & Malcolm -S4| E6

    He swept her off her feet with charm, a chivalry that was deeply unfamiliar, and a love that intoxicated beyond reason. But behind closed doors, the relationship unravelled into heartbreak, infidelity, and a battle with addiction. This week on So This Is Love, Grace shares her raw, unfiltered journey of falling for a complicated man, losing herself, and finding the courage to walk away. It's a story of toxic love, rock bottom, and the fight to rebuild. Consider supporting this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819 or PayPal ⁠⁠sothisislovepodcastke@gmail.com⁠⁠

    Florence & Juniour - S4 | E5

    Today, I sit down with Florence—a woman whose story is as heartbreaking as it is revealing. Raised in a turbulent home, Florence sought love in all the wrong places, leading to a relationship with Junior that teetered between desperation and dysfunction. She struggled with her mental health, self-image, and the echoes of a childhood marked by conflict. Her actions were at times harmful, but they were rooted in pain. As Florence shares her story, the lines between victim and aggressor blur, reminding us of the complexities of the human experience. Through Florence’s narration, we explore the duality of love, loss and the lingering shadows of the past all while asking ourselves this conflicting question, can someone be both wounded and responsible for wounding others?
