The Day I Almost Ended the SetBack Podcast
This is the episode that changed everything.
I recorded it at a time when I was close to quitting The Setback Podcast.
No guests. No confidence. No direction.
Just a dream that felt too heavy.
Then I interviewed Chelsea —a young Burundian woman studying at Oxford — and something happened.
Her humility.
Her honesty.
Her courage.
Her heart for Burundi.
It reminded me why I started this journey in the first place.
Three days after uploading her episode reached 1,000 views.
For me at that time, that was impossible.
And it was exactly the encouragement I needed to keep going.
Today, as Chelsea begins a new chapter and gets married, I wanted to honor her, celebrate her, and share the story behind the episode that kept me going.
If you’re watching this and thinking of giving up on your dream
Don’t.
Your “Chelsea episode” might be waiting for you too.
Thank you for watching, supporting, and believing in meaningful stories.
