떠난다는 것의 실존적 위협| On Quiet Quitting a Marriage — The One With Sade Curry: Episode 5 (2026)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 떠난다는 것의 실존적 위협| On Quiet Quitting a Marriage — The One With Sade Curry: Episode 5 (2026)

Sade Curry did marriage "right" by every metric she was handed: virgin, saved, husband who checked every box, right intellect, right ambition. Twenty years later, she was still there and barely present, over-functioning and compartmentalizing to keep the front up.

Sade is a life and relationship coach, creator of the DIAL method, and host of the Extraordinary Life and Dating Divorce podcast.

In this conversation, she traces the gap between the two facts above. The religious conditioning that sent her looking for a husband before she'd built any real discernment of her own, and how scripture gets cherry-picked and applied to marriage in ways the fuller text never intended, including the verses about divorce nobody preaches. What "quiet quitting" a marriage actually looks like from the inside, and the exact moment she knew staying quiet wasn't protecting her kids anymore. Why she believes 80% of relationships are unhealthy behind beautifully curated fronts. And the boundaries she didn't set until year fifteen, when year one would have changed everything.

We didn't agree on everything. I pushed back on whether an unhappy wife looking outside her marriage is a red flag or a woman finally choosing herself, and we sat in that disagreement rather than resolving it. We also talk about faith, honestly. Sade's version isn't the one she was handed; it's built on the belief that women deserve real autonomy in how they hold their own faith, knowing God for yourself instead of borrowing someone else's version of Him.

This was a challenging one for me. I don't think we landed in the same place on everything, but it got me thinking, and I hope it does the same for you. I'll be on the other side with my own reflections.

내 이상한 이웃들| The One with the Ghanaians - Nigeria (3) vs. Ghana (1): Episode 43 (2018)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with the Ghanaians

Here’s a joke for you:

Two Ghanaians and a Nigerian walk into a bar… but left because they didn’t have Nigerian jollof rice.

Ghana, a relatively unknown place until Nigeria shot them into popularity (ugh, the things we do for them!). Also, Ghana, the place filled with people of mystery, strange English diction, low production movies, and weird jollof rice concoction. In a bid to explore this enigmatic country, I invited two Ghanaians over to my house over a meal of Indo-Thai goat curry, Korean steamed rice, and mixed vegetables (all made by yours truly). We explored salient issues like jollof rice (of course! And why Ghanaians cannot get this right), pet peeves (turned out I am more finicky than I thought, ugh), acculturation problems, adjusting to the educational system, books, what traits determine success in grad school, racial identity, questions about my marriage, and so much more.
