  • Summary

  • I share the big questions that are scratching my brain. Questions about what it means to be human, and how to create the best possible blueprint for being.

    My main objective is to embrace my humanity by becoming present with every aspect of my human experience.

    Learning to be (becoming) human is a wild journey; especially in a strange (dehumanising) society that seems to have forgotten, exploited and abandoned the human.

    But I do believe the answers are there -

    in love, in bearing witness, in community and in sovereignty and in freedom.

  • Take Up Space, Right Where You Are

    Take Up Space, Right Where You Are
    Jan 11 2023

    This episode takes place in my bedroom, in my childhood home. We dive into the concept of taking up space and some of my philosophical takes on this phenomenon. I then share a bit of my own story on my decision to take up space by allowing my ideas and desires come to life, including the idea of this podcast.


    With much love

    Khanyisa

  • SHAME ON YOU!

    SHAME ON YOU!
    Jan 26 2023

    “SHAME ON YOU!” It seems the whole world is constantly screaming these words at us. “You are unworthy, invalid, inferior.”

    This episode takes place at the gym, and I speak about shame and my theories on its origins in human history. I then add my take on it as an unhealthy and unnatural emotion, and definitely not an effective one.

    This one’s long and filled with some academic references. I’ve added a bibliography below. I’ve also created a Guide on my Instagram (@khanyis.isibhakabhaka). Otherwise, enjoy. And feel free to shoot me a DM with your own opinions or arguments on this.

    With love
