Podcast: Stories I Tell

Host: Tariro Makina

Day 20 | Episode: Change Is Constant / Imposter Syndrome

I’m thrilled to announce that this inspiring blog has taken a bold leap into the world of podcasting—what a stunningly brilliant move by the host, Tariro Makina!

By transitioning her written reflections into spoken-word episodes, she breathes new life into her stories, reaching an entirely new audience while preserving the authenticity and heart of her blog.

Having listened to the first two episodes, I can confidently say they offer something special. They aren’t just recordings—they feel like honest, meaningful conversations. Tariro’s voice brings warmth and depth to her stories, making each episode feel like a heart-to-heart chat with a friend rather than a scripted reading.

In her debut episode, Tariro dives into the ever-present theme of change—how it weaves itself into our lives in both disruptive and beautiful ways. Reflecting on her own evolution from a remote assistant to a rising force in her field, she paints a vivid picture of growth, adaptability, and grace under pressure. This episode reminds us that while change is inevitable, we can always find strength in our roots and clarity in our progress.

The second episode tackles a topic that resonates deeply, especially within the podcasting and creative community—imposter syndrome. Tariro opens up about her own self-doubt and the internal battles many new podcasters face. Her vulnerability is refreshing and universal, proving that no matter where you're from—be it Zimbabwe, the U.S., Kenya, or anywhere in between—the struggle for self-assurance is something we all face.

This isn’t just another podcast series. Stories I Tell is a beautifully curated collection of reflections, experiences, and raw honesty delivered by a woman navigating life from Zimbabwe. Yet her insights are truly global.

What makes this podcast so compelling is the unique blend of local voice and universal relevance—Tariro’s authenticity is both grounding and inspiring.

Whether you’re a creator, a dreamer, or someone simply navigating change, this podcast offers a comforting space to learn, grow, and feel seen.
