    Founders Corner - From Afrocenchix to Ayaa Botanicals

    In this episode, Clytie Tammy sits down with Rachael Twumasi-Corson, co-founder of Afrocenchix, to reflect on her journey from building one of the UK’s most recognisable natural haircare brands to exiting the business in 2023 and starting again with Ayaa Botanicals. Rachael shares candid insights into the realities of entrepreneurship, the emotional weight of stepping away from something you built, the lessons learned from scaling Afrocenchix, and what legacy means when you move on from a brand you built from the ground up and starting a new one, Ayaa Botanicals. The conversation explores community support for Black-owned businesses, the importance of proof of concept before scaling, and the discipline required to test ideas properly. Rachael also opens up about navigating motherhood alongside business, redefining success, and building differently this time around. This episode is a powerful reflection on growth, reinvention, and what it truly means to start again with clarity.

    How We Love: Our Children Are Watching Us Love

    Emotional intelligence doesn’t start in the boardroom. It starts at home. In this powerful conversation, Clytie Tammy sits down with Dr. Donnette Green to unpack what emotional intelligence really looks like inside families. Drawing from her years in Child Protective Services, Dr. Green shares what she’s learned about children’s behaviour, parenting patterns, and the emotional climates that shape young lives. They explore how parenting styles influence trust and communication, why self-awareness is essential before we try to “teach” our children anything, and how emotional literacy begins with something as simple — and as powerful — as naming feelings. The conversation also addresses co-parenting tensions, the emotional weight many parents carry silently, and why self-care isn’t indulgent but necessary. Dr. Green highlights the importance of community, cultural understanding, and intentional communication in raising emotionally secure children. This episode is a reminder that the way we love, regulate, and communicate at home creates ripple effects for generations. If you’re interested in building a calmer, more emotionally aware household, this conversation will stay with you.

    How We Love - What Matchmakers Know That We Don’t

    Dating today is noisy, confusing and often exhausting - this conversation cuts straight through it. In this episode, Clytie Tammy sits down with professional matchmaker Siobhan Copland to talk about what actually makes relationships work beyond apps, algorithms, and surface-level attraction. Siobhan shares her journey into matchmaking and breaks down the difference between chemistry and real compatibility, especially in a world shaped by social media expectations. They explore what dating in your 30s really looks like, why vulnerability feels harder than ever, and how communication, boundaries, and self-awareness play a bigger role than “having a type.” The conversation also challenges the pressure to be endlessly picky while still staying open, and why so many people struggle to find balance there. Siobhan shares real matchmaking stories and offers insight into finding connection through community, in-person interactions, and intentional choices, reminding us that love doesn’t only live on dating apps. If you’re tired of modern dating rules that don’t seem to work, or you’re curious about how people actually build lasting relationships, you'll enjoy this episode

    How We Love: Grace, Self-Honouring and Being Seen

    In this honest and expansive conversation, Clytie Tammy sits down with Banke to explore what it really means for women to honour themselves in a world that often rewards self-sacrifice, over-functioning and hyper-independence. They talk about how societal conditioning and patriarchy shape the way women show up in relationships, work, and love, and why so many women struggle to relax, receive, and feel at ease. Banke shares insight into grace as a lived experience rather than a performance, and how femininity can be rooted in authenticity not expectation. Through personal reflections, they unpack themes of visibility, healing, and self-acceptance, and why community and support matter so much on the journey back to self. This episode is an invitation to soften, to tell the truth about what you want, and to reclaim your identity without guilt. If you’ve ever felt tired of holding it all together or wondered what it would look like to live more honestly and gently, this conversation will resonate.

    Reset 2026: Living With Intention After Motherhood

    Motherhood has a way of forcing clarity, and in this episode, Clytie Tammy sits down with Yolande (@officialyolaund) to talk about how becoming a parent can completely change the way we relate to our stuff, our time and ourselves. They unpack the emotional weight we attach to possessions, why decluttering can feel harder than it should, and how minimalism is less about having less and more about living with intention. Yolande shares practical ways to consume more mindfully, including capsule wardrobes, Swedish death cleaning, and letting go of the pressure to constantly buy new things. The conversation also explores fashion through an intentional lens. When it makes sense to invest in quality, how to be budget-conscious without feeling deprived, why sustainability matters, and why rewearing outfits should be normal, not embarrassing. This episode is about creating space. Space in your wardrobe, your home, and your mind. If you’re craving simplicity, clarity, and a more intentional way of living, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Reset 2026: Why Discipline Isn’t the Problem With Your Diet

    Sugar is hiding in more places than we think, and it is quietly draining our energy, affecting our skin, and making healthy habits harder to sustain. In this episode, Clytie Tammy (@thatgirltammy) sits down with Yvonne Okiyo, Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach and founder of Your Core Life, to talk honestly about sugar, cravings, and why so many women struggle to cut back. They explore the addictive nature of sugar, the psychological side of eating, and why discipline alone is often not enough, especially for women navigating hormonal changes. This conversation breaks down what sustainable nutrition really looks like, how to manage cravings without restriction, and why consistency and self compassion matter more than perfection. If you are tired of dieting, confused by nutrition advice, or want a healthier relationship with food that actually fits real life, this episode is for you.
