Ayesha's Lens - Conversations That Carry Us Forward

Episode 1: Who Am I During the Storm?

In this first episode of Ayesha’s Lens, I reflect on identity, grief, resilience, and what it means to carry forward when life begins to reshape us from the inside out. This conversation explores the beginning of the STORM framework — a lens shaped through my own seasons of change to help make sense of uncertainty, identity shifts, and the quieter inner reconstruction that difficult seasons can bring. More than anything, this episode is for anyone moving through a storm of their own — especially the ones carrying it quietly. I hope it offers something steady, something honest, and something meaningful to carry forward. 🎙️ Ayesha’s Lens – Conversations That Carry Us Forward 00:00 Who Am I During the Storm? 00:54 Opening 01:33 Movement I - Personal Narrative 05:35 Movement II - The Psychology 08:16 Movement III - The STORM Lens 08:57 S - Self Awareness 10:09 T - Tolerance for Uncertainty 11:11 O - Ownership of Narrative 12:09 R - Reconstruction of Identity 13:07 M - Meaning Making 13:57 Reflection Questions 14:19 Closing
