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?

Episode's summary

Hera learned early that the adults meant to protect you don't always do it. And when she finally spoke up about the abuse that threatened her innocence, she learned that telling the truth doesn't mean anyone will believe you. Through much difficulty, she found her own way out because no one else was going to give her one. However, getting out of a place is different from getting free of it. For years Hera moved through men lightly. She kept things easy and brief, and she always made sure she was in control. And then she met Tory. A steady force against her internal turbulence. On this episode of So This Is Love, Hera sits down to tell us what happened next. Content note: this episode discusses childhood abuse and suicide.

Luna & Adam - S7 | E6

She came for a friends-with-benefits but stayed for a love story. When Luna met Adam on campus, a serious relationship was the last thing on her mind. She was a self-described conservative girl with a curious streak and was fresh out of a previous relationship that had started to turn dark. At this point, Luna was ready to say yes to things she'd never tried before. What began as something casual became something neither of them saw coming. Years later, after marriage, motherhood, and the moments that test even the strongest couples, Luna joins us to talk about a partnership built on rules they wrote themselves. Because in a world that keeps telling women good men don't exist, her story makes a quiet, powerful case for the other side. Support this podcast via our mpesa till number 9095819.

Brian & Charity (Re-Upload for NON-SPOTIFY users) - S7 | E5

Everyone in their corner of Kisumu knew Brian's name. Tall, sharp-tongued, and effortlessly charming, he had girls lining up, and never seemed to slow down long enough to choose just one. Then came Charity. Cool, composed, and completely unmoved by his lure, she was the one girl who didn't fall in line, and that, more than anything, is what pulled Brian in. What follows is a story about what happens when the right person walks into a life that wasn't built for commitment, and how a single, high-stakes turn of events forced two young individuals to grow up fast and decide, together, what kind of future they actually wanted.

Loise & Clark - S7 | E4

She used to run towards the wrong kind of fire, you know, the kind that burns fast and leaves you cold. Loise knew this pattern well. Handsome trouble, charming exits, a heart she kept handing to partners who kept dropping it. And sometimes, she did the same. Especially to the good ones. Then came a heartbreak that forced her to ask herself the harder question: not "why do they fail me," but "why do I keep choosing this?" Eventually, Clark, who was always in the background, steps into the foreground. Some love stories start with lightning. This one started with someone looking in and finally looking up.
