Her Side of the Stories

“I’m a woman. There’s no easy way to say it. ” It took her 55 years to get those words out of her mouth. In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, Asal Zara sits down with actress la georgea for a conversation about identity, truth, and what it really means to finally be yourself. georgea was already a well-known actor. A life built for decades,  a career that was already established and a marriage of 30 years.. From the outside everything made sense and seemed to be going really well. But underneath, something didn’t.— This is a conversation about living a life that looks right while quietly knowing it isn’t. georgea shares what it was like growing up in a deeply conservative environment, carrying something she couldn’t name, couldn’t express and couldn’t share with anyone. Perhaps even thought she never will be.  From a very young age, she knew. But knowing and actually living it are two very different things.—We go into:— What it feels like to grow up without ever feeling fully safe to be yourself— The impact of shame, guilt, and silence over decades— Building a life, a career, and a relationship while hiding a core truth— The complexity of love when two people are trying to understand something neither fully sees yet— The moment she finally said the words out loud— And what it meant for her and for the people around her — There’s a part of this conversation that stays with you: the idea that you can live an entire life and still not feel fully seen.And the fact that untill you choose to live as your true self, there will be always an undercurrent of unhappiness.  —We also explore something rarely spoken about openly: What happens after you step into your truth. Is it fear? Is it freedom?georgea describes it as finally being able to feel life without a wall in between.   — Because sometimes… becoming yourself means everything else has to change. This is Her Side of the Stories. It would mean a great deal if you can subscribe to our (free) Youtube channel.

She built Millions… Then lost it all. Rebuild everything and then, did the same happen again?  In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, Asal Zara sits down with Regan Hillyer for a conversation that goes far beyond manifestation, success, or the life people think they see online. Regan is known as one of the leading voices in self-mastery and manifestation.But this conversation isn’t about what you see on stage. It’s about what was happening underneath. — We talk about growing up without ever seeing conflict and how that quietly shapes the way you love, communicate, and set boundaries later in life.We go into her early struggles with control, identity, and self-worth  and the moment everything shifted.From building her first busines, to losing everything… To sleeping on a couch, and starting again from nothing.  But at the heart of this conversation is something many people will recognise: being in something that looks right…but doesn’t feel right. A long-term relationship, a shared life. With a strong shared vision.But after all, things may not have been what they seemed.  We explore: — What it feels like to outgrow a version of your life— The subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves in relationships— How easy it is to override your own truth— The difference between what something looks like… and what it actually is— The moment you begin to question everything— And what it takes to choose yourself even when it’s really hard  Because sometimes…the biggest shifts don’t happen all at once. They begin with a feeling you can no longer ignore but you might have for a while. This is Her Side of the Stories. It would mean a great deal if you can subscribe to our (free) Youtube channel.

“I always felt different.”In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, Asal Zara sits down with actress and model Jessica-Jane Stafford — for a conversation that goes far beyond what people have ever come to learn about her.Jessica opens up about growing up painfully shy, never quite feeling like she fit in, and constantly adapting herself to the people around her — becoming a different version of herself depending on who she was with.At the heart of this conversation is something deeply misunderstood:OCD.Not the version people joke about. But the reality of intrusive thoughts, obsessive loops, anxiety, and the mental exhaustion that comes with it.Jessica shares what it actually feels like to live inside that experience — from constant overthinking to social anxiety, from needing control to feeling overwhelmed in everyday situations.We also explore:— What it’s like to feel like an outsider, even in a room full of people — Growing up without understanding your own mind — The impact of people-pleasing and mirroring others — Navigating environments that don’t feel safe — Motherhood, and recognising similar patterns in your children — And the journey of finally starting to understand yourself later in life This is a conversation about what’s happening beneath the surface — the parts people don’t see, don’t talk about, and often don’t understand.Because sometimes… the struggle isn’t visible.This is Her Side of the Stories.It would mean a great deal if you can subscribe to our (free) Youtube channel.
