The Self Made Podcast @cocomykel

Ever had that feeling where you’re reaching breaking point? Don’t be afraid to change, leave, move on or go somewhere you can start again.
Changing your energy changes everything.
For our 10th and final episode of Series 1 of The Self Made Podcast, I was joined by Yvonne Yeboah who works within investments as a ‘Transition Manager’.
Yvonne shared with us an in-depth account of her journey in the corporate world and the hurdles she has faced and overcome which brought her to her current role. We also discuss how she is taking the conversations around ‘Black Lives Matter’ from the streets to the board room to help amplify black voices within her company.

#BlackLivesMatter

Feel like you don’t belong? Don’t wait to fit in…create the space where you do!
For this weeks episode I was joined by one of my good friends and fellow music manager Faizah Olu - solicitor, creator of ‘Her Sisters Circle’ and serial businesswoman. We spoke about her career in law and managing multiple side hustles as well as the importance of creating space for yourself when you don’t have a network or community that you belong to…because after all - your tribe is your vibe!

#BlackLivesMatter

Don't accept it just because it has been given to you. 2020 is the year of taking control. 

This week I am joined by Tola Adeking - physiotherapist, personal trainer and founder of 'Takers Club'. We had a powerful conversation about her journey into the fitness industry, claiming back her power as a black woman and how she is actively shaping the future of black business and helping her community find the strength to make their voices heard.

Are you getting in your own way? Is it that you can't, or just that you're not giving yourself permission to? What you desire in life is normally on the other side of your own fear or doubt. For this weeks episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the infectious fashion stylish turned life coach, Kira Matthews. We got into the nitty gritty of giving yourself permission to say yes to your dreams, not being afraid to look at the bigger picture, accepting negative thoughts and using them to fuel you and what to do if you want to move from point A to point B in your career/life but you don't quite know how. 

You can follow Kira on Instagram @kirathebold and find more info about her coaching on her website www.kiramatthews.com. Kira also has her very own podcast 'Bold, Brilliant and Broke' which is a breath of fresh air and a goldmine of empowering guests and topics centred around creatives and the all too familiar struggles they face day-to-day.

Gratitude for life’s small but beautiful blessings. This week I chat with one of my most treasured friends and queen of the arts, Bethany Elmer. We discuss vegan food and finding comfort in the kitchen, practicing gratitude, finding peace in the small things and authenticity.
