Nov 02, 2025Some losses don’t come with funerals. They come with silence. In this episode, we explore the quiet ache of hidden grief—the kind that lives in missed milestones, faded friendships, and versions of ourselves we’ve had to leave behind.

Duration: 00:06:52Healing Is Not A Performance
Oct 26, 2025In this quietly defiant episode of Trending Worldwide, I dismantle the pressure to curate recovery and aestheticize pain. Through poetic reflection, cultural critique, and listener confessions, he explores the emotional cost of turning healing into content — and the radical power of reclaiming it as a private, imperfect process.
This episode is a sanctuary for those who are tired of being strong for show. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t need an audience, a timeline, or a caption. It just needs truth. And sometimes, truth is quiet.
Duration: 00:13:45The Strong Friend Is Tired
Oct 22, 2025In this deeply reflective episode, I unpack the emotional weight of being the strong friend — the one who listens, holds space, and rarely gets checked on. Through poetic storytelling, cultural critique, and listener confessions, we explore the quiet grief of emotional labor and the healing power of rest.
This episode is a soft landing for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their strength. It’s a permission slip to be held, to be honest, and to stop performing resilience for people who never ask how you’re doing.

Duration: 00:19:11Soft, But Not Stupid
Oct 08, 2025In a world that confuses kindness with weakness, this episode is a love letter to emotional clarity. We’re unpacking what it means to be soft without being naive, generous without being exploited, and emotionally present without being emotionally played.
From personal stories to cultural critique, we explore how softness gets misread — and how to protect it without apology. If you’ve ever been guilt-tripped for having boundaries or punished for choosing empathy, this one’s for you. Softness isn’t submission. It’s sovereignty. And choosing peace doesn’t mean you’re passive — it means you’re powerful.

Duration: 00:06:02The Meme That Raised Me
Oct 01, 2025Some of us learned emotional regulation from viral tweets and SpongeBob screenshots — not therapy. In this episode, we unpack how memes became our emotional translators, survival tools, and cultural archives.
From ghosting jokes to strong friend punchlines, we explore how humor lets us say “I’m not okay” without saying it out loud. We break down meme archetypes, share personal stories, and reflect on how Black Twitter, queer TikTok, and diaspora humor hold more truth than most textbooks.
If you’ve ever healed through a screenshot or laughed through a breakdown, this one’s for you. Memes d...

Sep 30, 2025They said I switched up. I said I upgraded the firmware. In the pilot episode of Trending Worldwide, we’re talking about emotional regulation, misunderstood boundaries, and why healing doesn’t always come with a warm smile and a paragraph text. If you’ve ever been called “cold” for choosing peace over performance, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking the group chat accusations, the cultural callouts, and the petty playlist that got us through it. Healing is messy, funny, and sometimes silent, but it’s never fake. Tap in.
