    Coming Correct & Creating Safe Spaces.

    Coming Correct is simply leading with respect. It is respecting your values and choices and also respecting other people’s values and choices. Coming correct is essential in creating a safe space for yourself, within yourself, and for those around you. In this episode, I take you along my year-long journey of navigating challenges, integrating different parts of myself, practicing self-awareness and mindfulness, and being a better friend to myself. I hope that in sharing more of my story and my journey, you listening out there can get to see yourself in me, gain some insight from my story thus far, learn to take better care of yourself by coming correct and creating safer spaces for yourself and those around you, and simply start or continue being a better friend to yourself. There is a difference between loving yourself and loving being yourself. One is conditional on you showing up in a certain way and appealing to a certain aesthetic, while the other is unconditional and gives you the permission to ebb and flow and change and love every bit of the process of becoming you. So do you love yourself or do you love being yourself?

    To Be Yourself, You Must First See Yourself: "Question All The Definitions You Have Of Yourself."

    Distorted truths lead to distorted perceptions of ourselves, others, our world, and most importantly, our lives. In this video, we begin with the truth of what we actually are, making every other definition of ourselves suspicious/ questionable. Link to Ehima Ora interview by Michell C.

    Creating Spaces for US. 🌍

    Thank you to all my OG supporters and a big welcome to the new comers. This is a space which encourages self discovery through exercising self awareness and taking chances in this life. Why does this matter? Because there is no greater pursuit than that of Self. This 1st episode of the year 2024 is all about making different spaces for ourselves, taking the reigns and exercising the power of choice to bring about whatever it is we want in our lives. We go through a breakdown of setting a foundation of CHOICE in the practice of making SPACES for all sides of yourselves. I take you through some key points on how the power of choosing can shift the trajectory of your life. The key points which i breakdown and expand upon in this episode have been inspired by a TED talk i recently re-watched, and i encourage all of you to take the time and listen in. TED talk link= https://youtu.be/-KysuBl2m_w?feature=shared As promised, below is the link to the podcast episode i referred to in the beginning of this podcast episode, where i shared a quote from Ehima Ora. The podcast is hosted by Michell C. Clark, titled " The After You Fail podcast", the episode is titled " Aren't i also Divine?" Link= https://youtu.be/Wc8xa_68DtY?feature=shared What i can assure you is that the podcast episode above is a powerful listen and will bless your life. So listen in. Finally, communicate with me through audio notes which are available on the spotify for podcasters app, as well as on Spotify.

    Losing yourself to find yourself 🌓.

    We usually associate darkness with being lost and afraid but alternatively when you are in a stage of change and growth which is usually filled with uncertainty and 'darkeness' ; then we become like a seedling planted in the ground where it can grow and gain all the necessary nutrients and resources it requires to turn into full plant. This I invite you to hold space for in this episode. It has been a while since I posted any episodes and I have been in a state of growth, a state of change. You could say I was planted😏. I recognise that growth is a continuous process and being planted is something that will happen to me throughout my life. Mine is to see it for what it actually is, an opportunity, and take it in stride. This is the first of a new segment I'm beginning. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me. Feel free to leave me any feedback, questions, topics you'd like for me to talk about etc. Thank you for listening and have a blessed morning, evening, afternoon wherever you are.
