How Did You Get Here with Verastic
Short story: Those who are doing it do not have two heads.
Long story: Welcome to How Did You Get Here with Verastic - the podcast where real people share real stories about the winding, messy, hilarious, and sometimes miraculous journeys that got them here. No fluff, and no curated Instagram perfection. Just raw, authentic conversations that inspire you to believe that if they can do it, so can you.
As our Nigerian parents loved to remind us: Those who are doing it do not have two heads. Translation? The people you admire aren’t superheroes; they’re humans with struggles, detours, wild stories, and twenty-four hours in a day, just like you.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how someone survived heartbreak, built a career from scratch, moved continents, reinvented themselves, or turned pain into power, pull up a chair. This is where truth meets laughter, and where you get the audacity to believe that your own “getting here” is absolutely possible. I'm just here as your good-smelling guide.

EP 8: The Mountain Is Smaller Than It Looks
Have you ever faced a mountain in your life that you thought was just going to take you out? Yeah, me, too. Sometimes, I sit back and remember when life was much simpler. Like when my biggest problem in life was that I did not own a cell phone. I wished for one so badly. Funny enough, at some point, I owned not just one, but two cell phones. Then I got tired of having two cell phones, and I switched back to one.
Recently, my mountain was the end of my marriage and consequently, the divorce that came from it. I remember when it seemed like divorce was a two-headed cobra with wings on the body of a lion. Complicated. Un-figureoutable.
But guess what? It's done! The mountain was smaller than it looked. The mountain is always smaller than it looks. And I not only survived but came out better and stronger --- and with experience. Now I can help someone else figure it out.
