    Ep 50: Breast ironed at a very young age ft. Ayomide Aremu

    Ayomide's breasts were ironed at a very young age which according to the mother, was to ward off men from abusing her by creating an illusion her breasts weren't fully developed like 'that of an adult. It's so sad that these practices are still carried out in this 21st century. I also shared my friend's experience undergoing breast ironing at a young age as well. I'd love to listen to your thoughts on Ayomide's story. Please drop a voice message through any of these links: https://anchor.fm/viola-the-radio-nerd/message or www.podpage.com/calm-down-podcast.

    Ep 47: Transitioning out of the NFL + choosing to be real in a world full of fakes ft. Sam Acho

    Sam Acho who is an NFL player, writer, public speaker and humanitarian shared his journey of currently transitioning out of the NFL, choosing to be more intentional and purposeful in his personal life journey and how realizing that God loves him regardless is changing the course of his life. This is one story I love so much because of how it highlights a particular phase we all go through but rarely talk about: TRANSITION. This phase can be uncomfortable and challenging but is definitely worth it if done the right way according to Godly values. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this story.
