Would You Rather Be Rich & Unhappy or Broke & Healed? Brutally Honest Podcast Talk
Is it better to be crying in a G-Wagon or healed in a shared house? In this week’s episode of It’s Actually Not That Serious, we’re putting our friendships (and our sanity) on the line with a game of "Would You Rather" that got way deeper than we intended.
As two Zim girls navigating life in the UK, we’ve realized that sometimes the truth hurts, but the "embarrassing phase" photos hurt way more. We’re diving into the messy intersections of success, emotional availability, and why public love doesn’t always mean good love.

When "family friends" become debt collectors; My UK reality
Moving to the UK is the dream, but for one man, that dream has turned into a financial and moral nightmare. 📉
In this episode, we dive into a heavy dilemma: A brother moves from Zimbabwe to London after borrowing £3,000 from his neighbors—money specifically set aside for their son’s future relocation. Two years later, he’s caught in the "London Trap." With a £1,100 rent bill on a £2,000 net salary, plus the cost of keeping a car for work, he’s drowning in the cost of living and avoiding the very people who helped him get here. 🏠🇬🇧

RESPONDING TO DILEMMA LETTERS..
In this episode of It’s Actually Not That Serious, we’re diving into the bittersweet reality of being a Zimbabwean migrant in the UK. We get honest about the "British chill"—and we don't just mean the weather.
From the deep ache of diaspora loneliness to that frantic, awkward moment you hear a stranger speaking Shona in the grocery aisle (and the internal battle of whether to say hello or just eavesdrop), we’re breaking down what it’s really like to build a life from scratch.

Spicy vows at the altar: New year New Nyaya & 2026 goals. EP 1
In our first sit-down of 2026, we’re laying out our resolutions and figuring out if we’re actually sticking to them this time. But honestly, it’s hard to stay focused on "self-improvement" when Zimbabwean Facebook and Insta are currently losing their minds over those viral wedding vows.
We take a quick (and hilarious) detour to discuss that "spicy" altar moment—because if people are being that bold with their life partners, why are we being so shy with our goals?
