    Ep159| Why You Get Excited About a Brilliant Idea... Then Lose Momentum.

    You get inspired. You see the vision. You feel the spark. You can almost feel the impact and taste the transformation! And then… somewhere along the way, the momentum fizzles out! In this episode Happy Without Medicine, we are continuing with the Momentum Series, where I discuss why high-achieving, visionary women often lose steam after a powerful burst of inspiration. If you’re tired of living from one spark of inspiration to the next and ready to build consistency instead, this conversation is exactly what you need!

    Ep158| Why High Achievers Start Projects and Don’t Finish Them

    You are not lazy. You are not incapable (in fact you are very intelligent, if I must say!) And you are definitely not unserious. So why do you keep starting things… and not finishing them? In this episode of Happy Without Medicine, I kick off The Momentum Series, where I unpack the reasons high-performing women get stuck. From fear of failure (and fear of success), to relying on motivation instead of structure, to trying to build in isolation... If you’re surrounded by half-finished projects and big potential, this episode is for you.

    Ep157| When Your Marriage Feels Heavy (But Your Goals Still Need You)

    Valentine’s Day isn’t always chocolates and roses. You love your spouse… but if you’re honest, things feel tense and off track. In this episode of Happy Without Medicine, I’m speaking to the ambitious woman whose marriage feels heavy right now but whose life, goals, and calling still need her. We’ll talk about: Why conflict isn’t the problem (avoidance is)How to use “I” statements instead of blameAnd how to keep building your dreams without denying the tension at home Of course, this is not a replacement for counselling. But if you’re navigating a hard season and need a little perspective (and a dose of tough love), this one is for you! Your feelings in your marriage are real, but they aren't the end of the story!

    Ep 156| Signs You Are High-Functioning... But Not "Okay"

    You’re working, parenting, caregiving, putting a brave face on, managing life.... You’re showing up. You’re high-functioning. But deep down inside, you know something feels off. You’re not in a crisis. You’re not falling apart. But you’re also not okay. In this week’s episode of Happy Without Medicine, I discuss important signs you shouldn't ignore and how stress and nervous system activation show up in everyday life. I also share practical ways to respond, because you don't need a break down as permission to slow down. Enjoy the episode! Dr. Yewande

    Ep155| Moving Past The Regret of "Wasted Time"

    "I should be further along by now" is a common thought that can weigh us down with unnecessary regret. In this week’s episode of Happy Without Medicine, I’m reframing the idea of "wasted time." We often judge our past selves for seasons that weren't wasted at all because they were spent surviving or seeking clarity. In this episode, we explore: Survival Mode: Why "autopilot" is a necessary tool to prevent a total system crash.The Seeking Trap: How searching for permission and perfect clarity can keep us stuck.Avoidance vs. Laziness: Why procrastination is actually a strategy to cope with the discomfort of change. It’s time to trade your regret for grace and learn how to invest your time moving forward rather than just spending or "wasting" it. P.S. Join the Winter Coworking Series!

    If you’re navigating ambition, transition, or a new season, this one is for you.

In this episode of Happy Without Medicine, I reflect on seven principles my mother lived by: rest, generosity, boundaries, family, quiet success, reinvention, and community. Enjoy the episode!
