Queen Diambi grew up between Belgium and Congo, later building a life in Europe and the United States as a wife, mother, and professional. Along the way, she wrestled with questions of identity, belonging, and the parts of her African heritage she had never fully been taught. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com In this conversation with Asal Zara, she reflects on the collapse of the life she had built, reconnecting with her father and ancestral roots, discovering at 48 that she came from a royal lineage, and eventually being asked to take responsibility for her people. What followed was not simply becoming a queen, but learning what that role meant for her identity, confidence, and sense of service. Topics discussed: • Growing up between Belgium and Congo • Identity, belonging and African heritage • Rebuilding after a major life change • Reconnecting with her father • Discovering her royal lineage at 48 • Returning to her ancestral home • The moment she was asked to become queen • Learning to feel worthy of the responsibility • What leadership and service mean to her Queen Diambi’s story is about more than a crown. It is about reconnecting with where you come from, accepting every part of who you are, and understanding that sometimes the next chapter of your life begins when the one you built no longer fits.

Why do you feel lonely even when you have friends, family, children, messages, and people around you? Sometimes loneliness has less to do with being alone and more to do with feeling unseen. You might spend your whole day talking, helping, organizing, and being needed while still feeling as though nobody truly knows what is happening inside you. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com In this direct-to-camera reflection, we look at emotional connection, why strong women often become the people everyone depends on, and why saying “I’m fine” for years sometimes leaves little space for others to know us. Feeling unseen in relationships, constantly adjusting yourself around other people, or being loved mainly through the roles you play can leave you feeling disconnected even in a full room. This reflection explores: - Why being surrounded is different from feeling seen - Why capable women sometimes feel deeply lonely - How hiding parts of yourself affects emotional connectionWhy opening up starts with one honest sentence - How identity and finding yourself connect with belonging - Sometimes the question is not how many people are around you. The question is where you feel most like yourself. Her Side of the Stories explores the inner lives behind the lives people see. Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side.

Why do so many women grow up feeling responsible for everyone around them? In this conversation, Asal Zara speaks with Professor Claire Delahey about the expectations girls absorb from childhood and how those early lessons continue into relationships, motherhood, money, work, confidence, and family life. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com Professor Delahey reflects on how girls learn to help, please, care, and keep other people comfortable long before they fully understand those expectations. She also explores how these patterns affect boundaries, self-worth, parenting, relationships, financial decisions, and the invisible work women often carry. Topics covered: Why Girls Learn to Please Others How Gender Roles Start in Childhood Teaching Girls to Say No Raising Children With More Freedom Beauty, Confidence and Self-Worth Love, Money and Equality in Relationships The Invisible Work Women Carry Weaponized Incompetence at Home Mother Guilt and the Pressure to Be Perfect Why Women Judge Other Women Financial Independence in Relationships What Equality Looks Like in Everyday Life Professor Delahey also explains why equality is often shaped by small everyday choices inside homes and relationships, not only by larger political questions. The discussion moves from childhood expectations to money, parenting, domestic work, beauty standards, and the pressure many women feel to do everything well.

Why do we replay conversations, analyze someone’s tone, or assume a change in mood means we did something wrong? In this solo episode, Asal Zara reflects on why overthinking often starts as an attempt to feel prepared, safe, and certain about what comes next. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com Asal explores how learning to read other people’s moods early in life sometimes turns into constant analysis later on. She looks at why silence feels personal, why uncertainty feels difficult, and why people sometimes keep thinking long after there is no new information left to find. She also reflects on the difference between useful reflection and going around the same thought repeatedly. The deeper question is not always whether you made the right decision. Sometimes the real question is whether you trust yourself to deal with whatever happens next. Topics covered: Why We Replay Conversations Reading Into Tone, Silence and Small Details Fear of Rejection and Uncertainty Childhood Patterns and Reading the Room Why Other People’s Moods Feel Personal Reflection vs Repeating the Same Thought Looking for Certainty Before Making Decisions Why Not Every Feeling Needs an Explanation Taking Action Instead of Analyzing Everything Accepting That Some Questions Stay Unanswered Building Self-Trust Trusting Yourself With What Happens Next You do not need every answer in advance. Sometimes peace starts with trusting yourself to handle what comes next. Her Side of the Stories is a cinematic long-form interview podcast exploring extraordinary women’s lives from the inside.

“I don’t feel like myself anymore.” Asal Zara keeps hearing the same words from women living completely different lives. Mothers, wives, business owners, caregivers, women going through divorce, and women whose lives look happy from the outside all describe the same feeling. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com In this solo episode, Asal reflects on why women sometimes stop recognizing themselves inside lives they helped build. She shares her own experience of moving countries, leaving home young, traveling through more than 40 countries, and constantly learning how to adapt. She explores how childhood roles follow us into adulthood, why capable women often become the person everyone relies on, and how putting yourself last slowly starts to feel normal. Asal also questions what “finding yourself” means and why reconnecting with yourself often begins with small, honest choices rather than dramatic life changes. Topics covered: Why women say “I don’t feel like myself anymore” How adapting shapes identity Childhood roles that continue into adulthood Motherhood, relationships and responsibility People-pleasing and belonging Why capable women stop asking for what they need The difference between functioning and feeling present Listening to yourself again Small ways to reconnect with who you are Finding yourself without changing your whole life Her Side of the Stories explores the inner lives behind the lives people see.

Samantha Francis Baker is a Dutch-born creative director and founder whose work has reached major fashion houses including Burberry, Louboutin and Fendi. But behind the career she built is a childhood she had never publicly shared before. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com At four years old, Samantha was separated from her mother and spent much of her childhood growing up away from home. Through all those years, one hope remained constant: that one day she would be able to go back to her mother. Samantha remembers seeing her only occasionally at first and never fully giving herself to another possible home because she was still waiting to return. In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Samantha reflects on family, belonging, her relationship with her mother and brother, growing up quickly, perfectionism, love, motherhood, creativity, and eventually building a life of her own. Topics covered: Being Separated From Her Mother at Four Growing Up Away From Home The Bond With Her Brother Waiting Years to Return to Her Mother Understanding Her Mother Differently as an Adult Coming Home at Twelve How Perfectionism Became Part of Her Life Losing the Person Who Felt Like Home The Family Who Gave Her Another Home Why She Started Living Differently at Seventeen Searching for Love, Stability and Belonging Moving to Dubai and Building Her Creative Life How Motherhood Changed Her Perspective Creating the Life She Wanted for Herself At seventeen, Samantha says she realized how quickly life can change and decided she wanted to make the most of the life her mother had worked so hard to give her. That mindset later shaped her relationships, career choices, and creativity. Samantha’s story is ultimately about home: losing it, waiting for it, finding it again, and eventually learning how to create it for herself.

Navine Kumari grew up in the UK between two worlds. Born into a Punjabi Indian family, she was surrounded by tradition, family expectations, community, and a strong sense of where her life was supposed to lead. At the same time, she was trying to understand where she belonged and who she wanted to become. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Navine reflects on growing up between British and Indian cultures, the expectations placed on women in her community, and the moment at nineteen when she told her father she wanted a different life. Rather than rejecting her family, she tried to find a way to honour where she came from while still choosing for herself. Navine also speaks about love, motherhood, belonging, family relationships, spirituality, and what it meant to raise her own children with greater freedom and acceptance. She describes how becoming a mother changed her understanding of what children really need from the people who love them. Topics covered: Growing Up Between British and Indian Cultures Feeling Between Two Worlds Family, Tradition and Belonging The Expectations Placed on Young Women Watching Different Relationships Around Her Finding the Courage to Choose Differently The Conversation That Changed Her Future Losing Her Sense of Belonging Finding Her Way Back to Family Love, Marriage and Building Her Own Life Motherhood and Unconditional Acceptance Raising Children With More Freedom Supporting Her Son in Being Himself What Her Mother Taught Her About Strength Spirituality, Family and Finding Happiness One of the strongest threads in Navine’s story is how differently she chose to parent. When her son told his parents he was gay at thirteen, Navine describes responding with love, protection, and a determination to let him remain completely himself. Navine’s story is about the space between inheritance and choice: how we can carry parts of where we come from while still deciding what kind of life, family, and future we want to create.

Djabu Balde grew up in Guinea-Bissau surrounded by very little materially, but she remembers much of her early childhood as happy. Her life would eventually take her across countries, cultures, and families, from the mother who loved her from afar to the woman in Spain who later chose to give her another home. Please visit our website for more information: http://www.hersideofthestories.com In this intimate conversation with Asal Zara, Djabu reflects on the childhood experience that profoundly changed how she understood her body and safety, and the years it took to understand that what happened was never something she caused. She also shares the story of leaving Guinea-Bissau for Spain, being separated from her biological mother, struggling inside a new family environment, and eventually finding another mother in Loli, a woman who stepped forward when Djabu needed somewhere safe to belong. Topics covered: Growing Up in Guinea-Bissau The Childhood Experience That Changed Her Understanding Her Mother’s Choices Differently Leaving Home for Spain Growing Up Between Two Countries Being Separated From Her Mother The Woman Who Chose to Give Her a Home Finding Safety With Loli Building a Different Future for Her Son Returning to Her Childhood Village Writing Entre dos madres Why She Chose to Tell Her Story Now One of the most important shifts in Djabu’s story came when she finally understood her biological mother’s experience differently. What she had once interpreted as abandonment or failure gradually became something more complicated: a mother living inside cultural and social pressures while still trying to create another future for her daughter. Later, Loli became the second mother at the center of Djabu’s life. When Djabu’s home situation in Spain became untenable, Loli chose to take responsibility for her rather than allow her to enter residential care. Djabu describes that moment as being chosen and given another chance. Her Side of the Stories is a cinematic long-form interview podcast exploring extraordinary women’s lives from the inside.
