from Chomie Talks Too Much! · host Edward Maphage

The Ugly Truth of Starting Over: Survival, Identity, and Mental Relocation “Starting over isn’t cute. People make it sound brave, but it usually just feels like embarrassment.”In this raw, unpolished, and microphone-free episode, Eddie Muffinz is sitting on the couch for a late-night conversation about the things we usually avoid. From the struggle of mental relocation and growing up in Mafikeng, to the realization that many of us have been in "survival mode" for so long we’ve forgotten who we are.He dives into why Tracee Ellis Ross’s words on identity hit so hard, how AI music and his new EP "Praise in My Soul" intersect with divine purpose, and why God rejoices in our "small beginnings."If you’ve ever felt the shame of starting again, or felt like you’re being Carried by Grace through a messy season—this one is for you. No filters. Just honesty.In this episode, we discuss:• The "Unpolished" Truth: Why I recorded this without a mic.• Identity vs. Survival: Reflections on Tracee Ellis Ross and finding yourself.• Mental Relocation: Why you have to leave a place mentally before you leave it physically.• Creativity & Faith: Writing my book Found in Pieces and the role of AI in purpose.• Scripture: Finding comfort in Zechariah 4:10 and 2 Corinthians 12:9.Connect with me: My Book: Found in Pieces My EP: Praise in My Soul Merch: Carried by Grace (Coming Soon)#StartingOver #MentalHealthSA #Faith #TraceeEllisRoss #Mafikeng #CarriedByGrace #Purpose #FoundInPieces #EdwardMaphage #SouthAfricanCreatives #SpotifyLiveSessions
