I Said What I Said

Mukundwawww.patreon.com

I'm Mukundwa and if you've found "I Said What I Said" then you're a spiritual seeker who makes a hobby out of unpacking the human condition, querying why we're here, and decoding life's algorithm. On this podcast I go on a never ending adventure of soul searching and deepening my connection to source and self through easy conversations around spirituality, friendship, pop culture, romantic love, autism, sex and politics. Come frolic interdimensionally with me!
