It's Not Just Me

About It's Not Just Me

Am I too much? Why do I feel guilty saying no? Do the people I love struggle the same way I do? It's Not Just Me is the podcast where co-hosts Magda and Komal explore the questions we all have but are often too afraid to confront. Komal is a coach with a PhD in business and management who has helped people across 15+ countries navigate transitions and build authentic relationships. Magda has done it all and doesn't want a job. Five-year career cycles from C-level to coaching to grunt work, all pointed at one question: does this hold up in a real life? Neither of them brings a five-step fix. Just honest conversation, personal stories, and the thoughts you assumed were yours alone, said out loud. Every episode ends with reflection questions and reading to take with you.

   Is My Energy Mine to Manage, or Is the World Just Taking It?

   We talk about energy like it's a personal responsibility: protect it, restore it, stop giving it away. But what if the drain is structural, not personal? This episode sits with the tension between what we can control and what we can't, and asks whether "just do what restores you" is wisdom or privilege.

   Do the Men in My Life Struggle the Same Way I Do - They Just Don't Say It?

   We spend a lot of time asking why men don't open up. But maybe the better question is: what are they quietly carrying, and do we even know how to recognize it? From body image and imposter syndrome to the invisible weight of feeling stuck, the inner lives men rarely show, and what it takes to actually reach them.

   How Can I Listen to My Body When It's in Conflict with My Mind?
