Beyond The Surface
Welcome to Beyond The Surface! 🎙️
A podcast where we dive deep into the realms of philosophy, psychology, and mental health—unpacking life’s biggest questions and exploring the human experience. Join me, Mohammad, as I bring thought-provoking discussions, personal insights, and expert perspectives to the table. Whether you're seeking self-improvement, intellectual conversations, or just a fresh perspective on life, this is the place for you.
I’m someone who’s always been drawn to the depths — of thoughts, of feelings, of language, of people. I don’t do well with surface-level talk, even though I’ve spent years learning how to express myself more clearly, especially across the different languages and cultures I carry with me. Arabic, English, Turkish — each one opens a different part of me. And sometimes, that’s felt like a gift. Other times, a burden. But it’s always been real.
I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure out not just who I am — but how to be. How to articulate what I believe. How to stand up for it. How to stay curious without losing myself in the noise.
This podcast — Beyond The Surface — isn’t just a project. It’s a reflection of how I think, live, and grow. I don’t want to preach, or pretend to have it all figured out. I just want to explore what matters: purpose, identity, language, emotion, philosophy, and everything in between. I want to ask the uncomfortable questions — the ones we often avoid — and try to answer them honestly.
I’ve struggled with articulation, with perfectionism, with self-doubt. I’ve wrestled with cultural expectations and the weight of “fitting in.” But each challenge pushed me closer to clarity — and to courage. I’m still learning, still evolving, still rewriting myself with every episode, every thought, every silence.
If you’re someone who feels caught between worlds, who overthinks things, who’s trying to find meaning without losing your authenticity — you’re not alone.
This is where we start.
Not at the top. Not in the spotlight.
But beyond the surface.
Beyond The Surface
SILENCE (our forgotten superpower...)
In a world overflowing with noise, both external and internal, silence often feels uncomfortable. Yet, silence is more than the absence of sound; it is a language of its own. In this episode of Beyond The Surface, we explore the philosophy and power of silence. From the wisdom of ancient thinkers to the role silence plays in our relationships and self-growth, we uncover why choosing silence can sometimes speak louder than words.
Join me as we reflect on questions like:
- Why do we fear silence in conversations?
- How can silence help us listen better, not only to others, but to ourselves?
- And what can philosophy, psychology, and personal experience teach us about embracing stillness?
This is not just an episode about being quiet — it’s about learning to hear the world, and ourselves, more clearly.
