Whole 'n' Some
By Karwirwa Laura
Whole 'n' Some is my little safe space on this vast interwebs to explore a plethora of life's questions, nuances, experiences and the in-betweens through wholesome conversation. Often it's a monologue but once in a while, I get to do it with the lovely people in my life.
Happy listening!
Love.

Episode 52: Wonder in the Lostness - 2023/2024
Feeling the Christmas cheer?!
End year pensiveness had me in my feelings and I ended up putting it in podcast to bring you into my thoughts about 2023 and projesctions for 2024. Lostness has been a consistent theme of my twenties; a theme that keeps evolving. On this episode, I get to share more of my exploration and navigation of life as it is. The episode starts out a bit mellow and mawkish but I think the end makes for a good culmination as we celebrate 2023 and welcome 2024.
Happy listening :)

Episode 34: Friendship - the highest form of relationship
I have grown to see friendship from an interesting perspective - as being a solid foundation from which to go about relationships in our lives without misconstruing our place in people's lives of dealing with unmet unrealistic expectations. Honestly, this one felt like a rumble. I genuinely found it difficult to express in words what I understand in my mind. So I'm really hoping to hear your thoughts on this one so I can piece it together even better.
Happy listening :)

Do you ever find yourself fixated too much on goals, outcomes, or how things could be better?
