Tarari Kalango ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>She quit her job in London with nothing lined up. Three months of unemployment followed. And she wouldn't change a thing.<br /><br />➡️ In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with writer, blogger, and professional Tarari Kalango for a deeply honest conversation about faith, career transitions, creativity, and what it really means to trust God when the path isn't clear.<br /><br />Tarari shares the story behind leaving her consulting job in London after feeling a strong conviction from God — before having another role secured. What followed was three months of unemployment that she now looks back on as one of the most meaningful seasons of her life. From bonding with family to hosting church small groups to walking into a role that moved her to the US in two weeks — this is a story about what obedience and faith actually look like in real life.<br /><br />We also get into her journey as a writer, the story behind her Substack blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings," why she believes writing is 90% reading, and the advice her mother gave her about the "destination mentality" — the dangerous idea that happiness is always waiting at the next destination.<br />If you're in a season of uncertainty, waiting on God, navigating a career transition, or trying to figure out what to do with a creative gift, this conversation will speak directly to you.<br /><br />💛 Check out Tarari's blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings" on Substack: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tararikalango.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://tararikalango.substack.com/</a><br /><br />🌍 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://beacons.ai/yadahpod" target="_blank">https://beacons.ai/yadahpod</a><br /><br />✅ Subscribe to The Yadah Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@yadahpod?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@yadahpod?sub_confirmation=1</a><br /><br />---------------<br /><br />🎙️ <i>Welcome to the official YouTube channel of The Yadah Podcast, a faith-based podcast where real stories reveal the goodness and faithfulness of God.</i><br /><br />Here, we explore what it means to live a life rooted in gratitude, purpose, and surrender through honest, long-form conversations that connect faith with everyday decisions.<br /><br />Whether you are seeking direction, encouragement, or a deeper relationship with God, The Yadah Podcast offers a place to reflect, grow, and be inspired through meaningful, faith-centered conversations.<br /><br />If you’re passionate about living a purpose-driven life, growing in your faith, and discovering how God is moving in real lives today, make sure to subscribe to the channel and activate notifications so you never miss a new episode. 🔔<br /><br />---------------<br />📲 <i>Follow The Yadah Podcast on social media!</i><br /><br />TikTok ▶️ <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@Yadahpod" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@Yadahpod</a><br />Instagram ▶️ <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/yadahpod" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/yadahpod</a><br /><br />---------------<br />Chapters:<br /><br />00:00 Guest Introduction <br />01:36 The Journey to Writing <br />09:00 Involvement with the Rainbow Book Club<br />13:26 Lessons from Interviewing Writers<br />17:00 The Evolution of a Blog<br />23:30 Navigating Career Changes<br />28:10 Reflections on Unemployment<br />32:20 Choosing Happiness and Surrender<br />37:19 Future Aspirations in Writing<br />39:27 Final Thoughts &amp; Gratitude<br /><br />---------------<br />#TheYadahPodcast #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndCareer #TrustingGod #ChristianLiving #FaithJourney #ChristianWomen #SpiritualGrowth #GodsPlan #CareerTransition #ObedienceToGod #ChristianWriter #FaithInUncertainty</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">1914c528-06c9-4e29-ba67-ebb4f9f9eb12</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Awele]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 19:45:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/29d38f86eecd8aaa2d56acc49f6b014aeb7ff749e80740b3c651bcba86a2ab4a/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIxOTE0YzUyOC0wNmM5LTRlMjktYmE2Ny1lYmI0ZjlmOWViMTIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJiN2QxOGU2Ni01OWM0LTQzM2UtOGM4MS1kYWM5ZjBmZmM3ZDAiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTUzYjZiZDg5YTc1MWI1ZTM1Mzk4OGEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlkNmIwNDhjYTBmNTRjYWY1YTVmZDc4L3lhZGFocy1zdHVkaW8tdzlxT3UtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi00LThfXzIxLTQ1LTEyLm1wMyJ9.mp3" length="21164217" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/podcasts/b7d18e66-59c4-433e-8c81-dac9f0ffc7d0/episodes/1914c528-06c9-4e29-ba67-ebb4f9f9eb12/transcripts.txt" type="text/plain"/><itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;She quit her job in London with nothing lined up.

Tome Buluku]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>God spoke to him in a dream… and he said no to his dream job.<br />➡️ In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, we sit down with Tome Buluku for a very real and honest conversation about faith, purpose, and what it actually looks like to follow God when it doesn’t make logical sense.<br />Tome shares his journey from Nigeria to the UK and now the US, studying at Harvard and Wharton, building a career in consulting, and being faced with opportunities most people would say yes to immediately. But in the middle of all of that, he felt God calling him in a different direction and had to make a decision that required faith, obedience, and trust.<br />If you’ve ever wondered how to hear God’s voice, how to make big life decisions as a Christian, or how faith connects to your career and purpose, this conversation will speak directly to you.<br /><br />We talk about hearing God through prayer, dreams, and quiet moments, and why sometimes clarity doesn’t come the way we expect. As Tome puts it, “Prayer opens up realities to you that you didn’t even know you needed”<br />➡️ This episode also dives into faith and mental health, the role of therapy in personal growth, mentorship, leadership through service, and what it means to live with intention as a young Christian navigating real life. It’s not about having everything figured out, it’s about learning to trust God step by step.
