    10 days of post partum

    Giving birth comes with a roller coaster of emotions...many of which we find hard to articulate and discuss.  With the birth of my first child, I kept a lot of these emotions bottled in. Primarily because I didn't understand them and I was also dealing with grief associated with losing my mother.  This time around, I chose to journal what I was feeling every day. Writing my feelings has always made the feelings have less power over me. In these journal entries, I covered a full spectrum of feelings, physical pain, rage, awe, gratitude etc.  I hope this gives anyone going through the wave of post partum emotions some relief to know that you aren't alone.

    What would you do if you were not afraid...a conversation with Donald Duke

    I have been asking myself this question lately-what could I achieve if I was not afraid? I am intrigued by people who seem to feel the fear and do it anyway. I want to understand what it is about them that makes them so courageous. On this episode, I interview Donald Duke, former Governor of Cross River's state and one of Nigeria's youngest Governors ever. He has had some spectacular successes and also some spectacular failures but that hasn't held him back. We sat down for an intimate 2 hour conversation about his rise to Governor, his battle with cancer, his 2 presidential runs, his involvement with AMCON...all of it. We start off this episode talking about his rise to Governor. Enjoy!

    Who do you think you are...to release your creative content into the world

    On this episode I have a heart to heart with Hilda Kabushenga Kragha about the fears that come with releasing creative content in the world. Hilda is the former CEO of Jobberman Nigeria and MD of ROAM Africa Jobs. We talk about her own journey to creating the successful blog Modern African Mother-a community to help mothers navigate motherhood in the context of modern day Africa.  In our interview, Hilda is brutally honest about how she had to overcome the voices which said 'you are not good enough', 'what you have to say is not important' and how she has been able to create a mindset shift that has set her on a path to achieve her fullest potential.
