Take What You Need

Welcome to Take What You Need, the podcast. This podcast is named after my first book, and many years on we’re continuing the journey of designing life on our own terms. Think of this as a weekly catch-up between me and you, where we talk about EVERYTHING. From the mindset shifts that make us better versions of ourselves, to discussing how the media, and marketing, play an even bigger role in the story of our lives than we might think. Each week, I delve into questions that you, the listeners, have asked and share my take on the topics that matter most to you. Let's get started

    #20 — How to Make the Leap & Stop Living on the Sidelines | Take What You Need Podcast

    Have you watched someone else do or say the thing you had been planning to do but you were too afraid to go for it? You had spent time analysing, getting advice and wondering whether you should take the leap… and now someone else has.  We ask ourselves: What will people say? What if it doesn’t work out? What if they judge me? So many decisions in life feel like “life or death”. Maybe not literal life or death, but societal, emotional and financial.  And eventually, we default to living a life that’s smaller than what it was meant to be, and who wants that? Definitely not me. That’s not why we’re here. That’s probably not why you’re reading this right now. This week’s episode is all about this.

    #19 The Art of (Spiritual) Manifestation

    ICYMI, I published the first of many life updates over the weekend. Take a look and vote on what you think! Manifestation. What do you think of when you hear the word? Do you think it’s unrealistic, or do you think it represents a movement that is in fundamental opposition to your values? One thing that’s interesting to me is some of the ‘newest’, ‘trendiest’ terms can be traced back to ancient spiritual principles. It’s not as ‘out there’ or as ‘selfish’ as people think. On the other hand, it’s actually an essential part of what it means to live a life that is truly aligned with your inner self, that brings a level of peace that has no comparison. I’d say the art of manifestation is one of the reasons I’ve been calmer and at more peace for the last 4 years straight, despite the uncertainties and challenges of life. In this episode, I unpack some of the most impactful, yet rarely discussed elements of manifestation… from a spiritual lens. Enjoy!

    #17 How to Deal with Unanswered Prayers & What To Do While You’re Waiting

    How do you keep going when nothing is working? How do you deal with unanswered prayers? No matter how ‘good’ things appear, most of us are still hoping for SOMETHING. At the end of 2023, I found myself in tears, unable to trust the process. My hope was lost, I had so much frustration and I was just over it. Here’s how I found my way back to clarity and peace. I hope it helps you too. Let me know what you think! All links mentioned below: https://abiola.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Also, thank you SO much for sharing and celebrating the podcast. You are the reason I’m continuing. I’m excited about the potential — not just of our page growth but of the internal TRANSFORMATION happening on the inside of every single one of us. If you’re a visual person, subscribe to my YouTube channel — I’ll be posting more ‘lifestyle’ content this year. Firing on all cylinders. Happy Friday!

    #12 "It's okay to be the villain in someone else's story" — Breaking out of old, familiar cycles ft. Kim vs. Kourtney, Kyle Richards vs. Kathy Hilton and more

    This is one of those episodes that holds up a mirror to the relationships in your life... are you ready? Through a series of highly televised sibling rivalries (Kourtney vs. Kim, Kyle Richards vs. Kathy Hilton, Kendall Roy vs. Shiv Roy vs. Roman Roy) — we explore how to navigate the tension between putting yourself first and looking after yourself, vs. being part of cultural and familial systems that might just be... a little toxic.

    #14 “Start seeing yourself as a success NOW" — How to Prepare for the New Year with Confidence

    It’s that time of year when we start looking back on what we’ve ‘done’ and wondering if it measures up. The question is, ‘measures up’ to what? Inspired by a recent conversation at a house party, this week’s episode explored the idea of what success looks like and can be — and how adapting the mindset that you’re a success right now, just as you are is the key to setting yourself up for even more success in the future.
