    Dating in Your 40s: Late Harvest Wine is the Sweetest

    Dating in Your 40s: Late Harvest Wine is the Sweetest

    One of the things about love is how it’s year-round, and what it looks during the differing seasons of the year and of our lives.

    So, too, is our feeling about which season we are at, in our lives.

    When Kemi was growing up, she had a plan for her life. As most people do. Yet, as we all inevitably discover, life doesn’t always go according to plan. 

    “Late Harvest Wine is the Sweetest” is one woman’s story of how she’s navigated dating during the decades - her twenties, thirties, and especially, her forties. Most of all, it chronicles her independence from her way of assessing the steps her life ought to take.

    "Ask a Man" session: Communication and Love Bugs - III

    In this conclusion of the previous "Ask a Man" segment, we’re going over lessons to learn from men, across varied walks of life. Married, single, all that lies in-between.

    I sat down with Kaelo A today, a lawyer, marathoner, and avid book reader.

    Navigating as a single, heterosexual woman is a profoundly different experience than that navigation as a married man, with children.

    In this multipart series, we also spoke about the responsibilities of boundaries and consent.

    Back with Part II!



    ...A different flavour, but just as awesome!

    I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nike Anani, one of the most phenomenal individuals I've ever come across.

    One of the reasons behind talking with Nike is to discuss how to be a better human being, and how much business and love use the same approach - the importance of communication, the importance of Doing the Work, and Being Intentional.

    We examine the ties between entrepreneurship, running a successful business, and running a successful relationship.

    21st-century leadership 

    The importance of empathy and leadership  

    Glamorizing the STRUGGLE in life
