    111: Everything is Revolutionary, pt. 1 with Jon Dujon

    We're just two Black immigrants living with ADHD making light of a superbly heavy topic: "Everything is Revolutionary: Black existence in a world built to exclude us". Jon and I have been friends for years and he is not only insanely brilliant but very insightful. We speak about navigating oppressive systems; finding peace in constant revolution; why fatigue hits different these days; and why everyday feels like "chaos in a teacup". Listen to this on loud, leave your opinions in the comments and share it with a friend!

    109: The storm after the storm: Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa

    Recorded in Jamaica just days after category 5 Hurricane Melissa (the biggest storm in 90 years, second largest ever in the Atlantic, and the biggest storm ever to hit Jamaica's shores) this raw episode captures what it's really like when the storm passes but nothing feels calm. No power, no water, no rest - just frustration, fatigue, and too much to process. No fake positivity. No silver lining. Just the truth of how s****y it all feels. The government's official website: https://supportjamaica.gov.jm/  I will also be sharing more ways to help on Instagram:

    108: How to pivot and pursue your passion with Tracey-Ann Mullings

    We've all been told to follow the playbook: get the degrees, climb the corporate ladder, and check all the boxes. Our guest Tracey did exactly that for 12 years. She was a master storyteller, a pro marketer on a path that was going exactly as planned. But what happens when life decides to rip up the playbook? After rolling with every punch life threw at her, she's now a beauty and wellness boss, founder of her own business. She's proof that starting over isn't a setback, it's a superpower. In this episode, Tracey shares what it's really like to pivot, pursue your passion, and give yourself permission to change your mind - even when the path looks nothing like you ever planned. Five MUST LISTEN segments: 09:49 : Escape plan 24:20 : "I am exhausted" 38:47 : De-centering work 50:19 : Sometimes you have to disappear 01:20:28 : "…and not being afraid to fail"
