the weight of leaving

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/11

#14: I know real estate isn't for me -- but saying that out loud feels heavier than I expected. This episode is about the fear, shame, and uncertainty that come with walking away from something you've already said yes to.

#15: Life has a way of feeding you the same lesson until you learn it. Two years ago, I ran from discomfort. I ran from the same exact situation i'm in now. This time, I'm staying -- learning to sit in the lesson instead of escaping it, and trusting that it's all apart of coming home to myself.

the gift my parents never had

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/11

#13: My parents never had the space to ask themselves what they wanted to be. Survival didn't leave room for stillness. In this episode, I talk about the privilege of having that space -- and learning to see time off not as laziness, but as a gift they helped create.

when you stop lying to yourself

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/11

#12: At some point, you can't fake it anymore. In this episode, I talkl about what it feels like to finally admit that the path you're on isn't the one you want -- and how terrifying, freeing, and necessary that honesty can be.

nobody wants to struggle

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/06

#11: "Struggle" gets glorified -- we romanticize pain, chase hardship and call it growth. But what happens when you've had comfort, stability, love... and start to feel guilty for it? In this episode, I reflect on a conversation with my mom and a friend that made me question why I ever felt ashamed of not suffering. Maybe we don't have to struggle to earn our worth. Maybe peace can be just as powerful a teacher.

the book fair

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/06

#10: Sometimes the smallest memories hold the biggest meaning. In this episode, I revisit a moment from elementary school -- a book fair, a borrowed few dollars, and a lesson I didn't know I was learning. It's about curiosity, innocence, and how somewhere along the way, we lose the excitement we once had for the simple things -- like a new story or a good book. Maybe it's time to find that wonder again.

when anxiety is just misalignment

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/05

#9: Sometimes the anxiety we feel isn't fear of the unknown -- it's our soul rejecting the path we're forcing it down. In this episode, I talk about a conversation I had with my mom that brought everything into focus. We talk about unconditional love, misalignment, emotional decision-making, and the courage it takes to finally walk toward what's meant for you. Maybe anxiety isn't the enemy. Maybe it's the body's way of whispering, "You're not supposed to be

our parents were just figuring it out too

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/11/05

#8: We don't talk enough about how hard it is to be a parent. To shape a whole human being while you're still figuring out how to be one yourself. In this episode, I reflect on the people who raised us -- the generations before us who did the best they could with what they knew. It's a reminder to extend grace, show gratitude, and recognize that if we love who we are today, we owe part of that to the imperfect who made us possible.

not having your shit together is how you get your...

2025/11/05

#7: I've started and stopped this podcast more times than I can count. Different names, same struggle -- trying to find my voice, my value, and what's actually worth saying. This isn't a polished episode. It's a reset. A reflection on the fear of not being seen before you're ready, the pressure to be perfect, and the courage it takes to just begin -- again. Because maybe not having it all together is how you get it together.

#6: Real conversations don't follow structure -- they wander. One thought leads to another, until you forget where you started but somehow land somewhere real. This is one of those nights. Two friends, no plan -- just curiosity and connection. Welcome to The Playground: Late-Night Edition.

The danger of thinking you understand

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/10/29

#5: It started with a one-minute elevator ride and a dog's stare.In this episode, I talk about how one small moment made me question the way we see the world -- and how labeling everything might be killing our curiosity. From dogs to trees to the people around us, we stop asking questions once we think we understand. But what if understanding is just an illusion?

therapy session

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/10/24

#4: Sometimes you just need to talk -- not for answers, not for an audience, but to hear yourself think.This episode isn't planned or outlined. It's me sitting with what's been building up lately -- the questions, the pressure, the gratitude, and the chaos that come with trying to grow. I'm calling it a therapy session because that's what it felt like: honest, messy, real. No polish. No filter. Just a conversation with myself that maybe you'll see yourself in too.

The power of liquid courage

#3: We all know the feeling — a couple of drinks in, and suddenly the world feels lighter. The fear quiets down, the overthinking fades, and we finally say and do the things we’ve been holding back.In this episode, I talk about what “liquid courage” really represents — that freedom to be ourselves without the weight of judgment, pressure, or outcome. I explore what happens when the clouds clear and we remember the sun’s been there all along.Because maybe the goal isn’t to chase the feeling a drink

the problem with reviews: finding your own experience

Becoming Sharif ·

2025/01/27

Negative reviews are everywhere, but have you ever stopped to think about what drives someone to leave one? In this episode of Uncharted, I reflect on a recent bad review left about my restaurant and unpack the psychology behind negative reviews. Are people just looking to share their pain? And why do we rely so heavily on reviews to make decisions about businesses, movies, or even people? I explore the importance of forming our own experiences and share personal examples of when reviews didn’t tell
