Woman Searching for Meaning is a short, reflective podcast exploring the space between politics and personal growth.
Hosted by a French expat and politics student, it dives into feminism, progressivism, identity, and the quiet work of becoming better in a chaotic world.
For young, thoughtful minds trying to make sense of it all — one 10-minute episode at a time.
Tune in to reflect, resist, and reconnect.
We pass by. We hesitate. We look down, look past, look away. This episode is about the taboo we have built around homelessness—how we have learned, collectively, to make people disappear from view, out of discomfort more than indifference. It is about those fleeting encounters on the street that we try to erase as quickly as they happen. Beneath that avoidance lies something more fragile: anger, not only at what we see, but at ourselves—at our helplessness, our discomfort, our quiet cowardice...

Reading Édouard Louis Changed How I See Right Radicals
For the first time, I’m bringing a book into this space — because it moved something in me that theory never could. Reading Qui a tué mon père by Édouard Louis forced me to confront a reality I had only understood abstractly: what it actually feels like to be born into poverty and never escape it. To grow up in a body worn down by labor. To be shaped — and crushed — by policies written by people who will never live their consequences. This episode is in the end about anger, again. Legitimate ...

Why do we still couple?
Society tells us we should be happy on our own. That autonomy is fulfillment. That love is optional. We hear that single women are happier than those in relationships. That humans are not necessarily made for monogamy. That freedom means not needing anyone. And yet—despite knowing all this—we still invest enormous amounts of time, energy, emotion, and imagination into the search for one person. Someone with whom happiness might feel steadier. Someone with whom a life could take shape. Why is ...

Ep. 13: Women walking brave
Walking down the street shouldn’t feel like a battle — but it often does. In this episode, I talk about learning to stand tall, to build that quiet confidence that keeps you unbothered when men with bad intentions won’t leave you alone. But what if that composure often turns into distance? If the armor that protects also isolates through the mask of indifference? ...until the street becomes a place where no one meets the other’s eyes. A reflection on confidence, vulnerabilit...

Ep. 12: Scroll, Click, Repeat - Trapped in the feed
You just wanted to check the news — and twenty minutes later, you're lost between memes, outrage, and breaking stories. In this episode, we talk about that strange tension between wanting to be informed and getting sucked into the digital carnival. Why does it feel so addictive? Why does it mess with our emotions? And what does it say about the way information itself has changed? Let's deep-dive into this craziness for a few minutes, taking a step back to contemplate what's ...

Ep. 11: In Defense of Anger
We’re taught to calm down, let go, rise above — but what if anger isn’t something to suppress, but something to understand? What if Anger is just a misunderstood friend? In this episode, I explore what anger really is: where it comes from, what it’s trying to protect, and how it can become a quiet force for transformation instead of destruction. Civil rights defenders and activists have long known the true power of anger — how it can turn pain into movement, despair in...

Ep. 10: Democracy dying? -- with Maxi
“Is Democracy Doomed? (Or Just Having a Bad Day)” This time I sit down with my girl Maxi, a fellow political science student at the University of Münster, who bravely took a break from writing her master’s thesis on populism in Europe to talk about—well—populism in Europe. Together we ask why everyone keeps saying democracies are in danger. Which danger, exactly? Who’s threatening whom? And which direction do we need to go to resist the authoritarian conquest? We zoom in on the endogeno...

Ep. 9: To not be last
Why do we make choices that don’t really make sense for us—just so we’re not the last in line? No one wants to be the loser at musical chairs—but what happens when that same fear runs our social and political choices? In this episode, I explore how the anxiety of “not being last” sneaks into our decisions. Starting with David Ricardo’s comparative advantage theory (don’t worry, it’s more fun than it sounds), we’ll connect the dots to modern life. Why do some women throw feminism u...

Ep. 8: Religion in Dating and Becoming
This episode was sparked by a Netflix dating show (because of course). We dive into how conservative religious ideas continue to shape how we date, love, and plan our futures—even if we’ve long stopped going to church. From timelines to “shared values,” these old scripts are hard to shake. Breaking free can feel like a liberation... until you’re left staring into the abyss of “figure it all out yourself.” In the second half, we zoom out to look at the bigger picture: yes, conservative dogmas ...
