Welcome to Beyond The Surface 🎙️

A space where we slow down, think deeper, and explore the parts of life we usually rush past. Philosophy, psychology, mental health, identity and all the things that shape us, quietly or loudly. I’m Mohammad, and I’m here to have the conversations I’ve always looked for but rarely found…


I’ve always been drawn to depth; in people, in ideas, in the way we use language to show who we are. But expressing that depth hasn’t always been easy. I grew up moving between languages and cultures, and each one brings out a different version of me. Arabic, English, Turkish… sometimes they feel like superpowers, and other times they feel like weight I have to carry.

But they’ve all shaped the way I think, the way I feel, and the way I try to make sense of the world.


Like many of you, I’ve spent years trying to understand not just who I am, but how to be. How to speak up. How to stay curious. How to believe in something without losing myself in the noise around me.

And honestly, I’m still figuring it out (:


This podcast isn’t about pretending I have the answers. It’s about exploring the questions that actually matter !!! purpose, identity, emotion, language, fear, growth and seeing what we can learn along the way.

It’s about being honest, even when it’s messy.

It’s about going deeper than the small talk we’re all tired of.


I’ve struggled with articulation, with self-doubt, with the pressure of cultural expectations. I’ve felt torn between worlds, and sometimes even between versions of myself. But every struggle has pushed me a little closer to clarity and to courage.


So if you’re someone who sometimes overthinks, who feels caught between cultures or ideas, who wants meaning but refuses to lose your authenticity; trust me, you’re in the right place.


This is where we begin.

Not with perfection.

Not with certainty.

But with honesty and a willingness to go beyond the surface 😊🤓

    Language is more than vocabulary and grammar...

    It shapes the way we think, connect, remember, and understand the world around us.

    In this episode, I'm joined by Sena, a French Literature graduate who recently returned from France, and Koray, for a relaxed and thought-provoking conversation on language and society. Together, we explore how language influences identity, the experience of living abroad, accents and stereotypes, literature, translation, social media, and the subtle ways words that shape our relationships...

    This isn't a conversation about linguistics. It's a conversation about being human through language.

    Whether you've ever searched for the right word, felt different in another language, or wondered why certain conversations stay with us forever, this episode is for you.

    I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.

    What does it mean to feel at home?

    In this episode of Beyond The Surface, I sit down with Professor Ferit Güven for a conversation about belonging, identity, memory, and the places that shape us.

    Together, we explore questions that many of us carry throughout our lives: Is home a place or a feeling? Can someone have more than one home? What happens when you no longer feel at home where you once belonged? And in an increasingly connected world, has the meaning of home changed?

    Drawing from philosophy, personal experience, and reflections on culture, this conversation goes beyond geography and explores one of the most fundamental human questions.
