The Way We Are

“this might be healing”

a wholesome podcast from Cagla & Ozgu

We’re Cagla & Ozgu

— two childhood friends who grew up together in Turkey and built our adult lives oceans apart, in London and Las Vegas. Over 20 years of friendship, we’ve seen each other through heartbreaks, burnouts, big dreams, new cities, and healing journeys.

The Way We Are is our space for honest, unfiltered conversations about life — the raw, the real, and the beautiful in-between.

We hope it feels like a warm call from an old friend — the kind that makes you exhale and think, "okay, maybe I’m not alone."

 About the Podcast

“This Might Be Healing” isn’t just a tagline. It’s our intention.

We talk about what it means to be 30-something women navigating life far from home — the messy middle of healing, growth, identity, relationships, work, womanhood, and starting over.

Each episode is a deep dive into things we wish we heard more often. Not perfectly polished stories — but real moments from real lives.

You’ll hear laughter, heartbreak, wisdom, softness, resilience — all the things that come with being the way we are.

Meet Us

From Istanbul to the world — our stories started side by side, and now we’re sharing them with you.
