    Ep12. Every Relationship Begins With a Guess!

    Before someone says a single word, we've already decided who they are. They're arrogant. They're shy. They're funny. They're intimidating. They're "not our kind of person." But how much of that story actually belongs to them, and how much of it came from us? In this episode, we're joined once again by special guest Adeola for a conversation about one of the fastest things our brains do: forming first impressions. We unpack where those impressions come from, why they feel so convincing, and how often they quietly shape the relationships we never get to have. Somewhere between the "rude" stranger who turned out to be dealing with a terrible day, the first date who barely looked up from their phone, and the Instagram profile that somehow told you everything before you'd exchanged a single sentence, we realized that first impressions are rarely just about the other person. We talk about pretty privilege, halo effects, trusting your gut, quiet confidence versus loud confidence, and whether the way someone treats a waiter really tells you everything you need to know. We even ask whether intuition is genuine wisdom, or simply judgment wearing a nicer name. It's funny. It's uncomfortable. And it forces all of us to ask the same question. How many people have we misunderstood because we were too confident in a story we made up within the first thirty seconds? Maybe first impressions matter. But maybe second impressions matter even more. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @yesandpodcast.zm 🔗 Learn more about us: hopp.bio/yesandpodcastzm Credits 🎵 Intro/Outro Music by Cephas Jones 🖌️ Logo concept by Blessings Chipanama 🎨 Branding & Marketing by Picturesque ZM ⚙️ Audio Editing on Adobe Audition ☺️ Special thanks to APVA, Afripods 🎬 Brought to you by Picturesque ZM With love, Yes, & Podcast ZM❤️

    Ep11. Difficult Conversations with Adeola!

    Some conversations change everything. The ones where someone tells you something you've never seen about yourself. The ones you've rehearsed a hundred times before finally saying the words. The ones that leave the room quieter than when you walked in. In this episode of Yes and Podcast, we're joined by special guest Adeola for one of our most honest conversations yet. Together, we unpack why our generation seems so afraid of difficult conversations. We talk about conflict, criticism, apologies, friendships, relationships, and the cost of staying silent just to keep the peace. From rating the excuses we use to avoid uncomfortable moments, to debating whether honesty always has to hurt, to sharing the conversations that changed how we saw ourselves, this episode goes to places most people would rather avoid. It's funny. It's uncomfortable. And at times, surprisingly personal. Because sometimes the hardest conversation isn't the one you have with someone else. It's the one that forces you to see yourself differently. And maybe the biggest question isn't, "Should I say something?" Maybe it's, "What happens if I don't?" 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @yesandpodcast.zm 🔗 Learn more about us: hopp.bio/yesandpodcastzm Credits 🎵 Intro/Outro Music by Cephas Jones 🖌️ Logo concept by Blessings Chipanama 🎨 Branding & Marketing by Picturesque ZM ⚙️ Audio Editing on Adobe Audition ☺️ Special thanks to APVA, Afripods 🎬 Brought to you by Picturesque ZM With love, Yes, & Podcast ZM❤️

    Ep8. Yes, & The Love Files!

    This episode starts with a confession: none of us are qualified to teach anybody about dating or courtship. Nobody here has courted. Nobody here has dated lol. But somehow, through watching people around us, hearing stories, and playing one too many rounds of Red Flag, Green Flag, we ended up having one of the most honest conversations we've had on the podcast. Somewhere between "he only calls when there's no electricity in his area" and "they fasted together while he was secretly trying to get over someone else," the jokes slowly became a real conversation. In this episode of Yes, & Podcast, we unpack modern relationships, mixed signals, emotional availability, and the difference between someone wanting you versus someone simply not wanting to lose access to you. From funny stories to uncomfortable truths, we talk about relationships that stay hidden, people who say all the right things but move strangely, and why patience can sometimes look dangerously similar to being led on. Because eventually, words stop mattering. And all that's left is what someone consistently does. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @yesandpodcast.zm 🔗 Learn more about us: hopp.bio/yesandpodcastzm Credits 🎵 Intro/Outro Music by Cephas Jones 🖌️ Logo concept by Blessings Chipanama 🎨 Branding & Marketing by Picturesque ZM ⚙️ Audio Editing on Adobe Audition ☺️ Special thanks to APVA, Afripods 🎬 Brought to you by Picturesque ZM With love, Yes, & Podcast ZM❤️

    Ep7. The Life You Plan vs The Life You Live with Abigail Mulenga!

    In this episode, we sit with a question most of us avoid, what are you actually doing with your time? Not the version you tell people, but the real one. The one your screen time reveals. The one your unfinished goals quietly point to. What starts as a simple conversation turns into something deeper — a look at the gap between the life you're planning and the one you're actually living. Between discipline and distraction. Between what you should be doing and what you genuinely care about. We talk about the pressure to balance academics, ambition, and personal growth, and Abigail shares her experience of managing a business, school, and exams every three months,completely on her own, with nothing but discipline between her and falling apart. Along the way, we reflect on what it means to grow up and realize that no one is coming with a roadmap. At some point, the priorities you were given stop working, and you're forced to decide for yourself what actually matters. Because priorities don't just shape your schedule. They shape who you become. And eventually, the question becomes simple: If not now… when do you choose yourself? 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @yesandpodcast.zm 🔗 Learn more about us: hopp.bio/yesandpodcastzm Credits 🎵 Intro/Outro Music by Cephas Jones 🖌️ Logo concept by Blessings Chipanama 🎨 Branding & Marketing by Picturesque ZM ⚙️ Audio Editing on Adobe Audition ☺️ Special thanks to APVA, Afripods 🎬 Brought to you by Picturesque ZM With love, Yes, & Podcast ZM❤️

    Ep6. The Ways We Run Away!

    Stress finds everyone eventually. The real question is how we deal with it. In this episode, the crew dives into the ways people cope when life gets overwhelming — and how some of those habits can quietly turn unhealthy. What starts with a simple reflection about childhood coping mechanisms, like escaping into TV after a long day, opens up a bigger conversation about the different ways we handle pressure, stress, and difficult situations. From distractions and avoidance to the small habits we build without even realizing it, we unpack how coping can sometimes help us survive the moment… while slowly hurting us in the long run. Along the way, we share personal experiences, laugh at some of the strange ways people deal with problems, and reflect on the difference between healthy coping and just running away from what we're feeling. Why do people develop unhealthy coping habits? And how do you recognize when something that once helped you… is no longer helping at all? Somewhere between stories, jokes, and honest reflections, we explore how people deal with life when things get heavy. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @yesandpodcast.zm 🔗 Learn more about us: hopp.bio/yesandpodcastzm Credits 🎵 Intro/Outro Music by Cephas Jones 🖌️ Logo concept by Blessings Chipanama 🎨 Branding & Marketing by Picturesque ZM ⚙️ Audio Editing on Adobe Audition ☺️ Special thanks to APVA, Afripods 🎬 Brought to you by Picturesque ZM With love, Yes, & Podcast ZM❤️
