DEEP THOUGHTS
This is not the conventional episode; it was so spontaneous and left me thinking about the essence of this whole journey. I can be hard, it will be hard, but in the midst of the hardship and suffering what would your resolve be? would you chose yourself above the validations of your peers and superiors, would you do the unthinkable, would you challenge the status-quo, would you set yourself higher than the naysayers and be you...unapologetically. These are just my thoughts, if they resonate with you...then maybe we're a tribe.
Do well to share the link of this episode to everyone you think would benefit from these thoughts.
Enjoy!

Don't Be a Groupie: Embrace Your Unique Voice and Stand Out.
The glitz of success and celebrity culture has made it easy to get swept up in the allure of idolizing famous individuals and wanting to be a part of their inner circle. However, blindly following, and idolizing others, commonly known as being a "groupie," can hinder our personal growth and limit our ability to embrace our individuality.
In this episode, I want you to see the importance of breaking free from the groupie mentality and encourage you to embrace your unique voice and stand out from the crowd.
Never Second Guess Yourself.
In a society that constantly bombards us with external pressures and comparisons, it's essential to recognize the importance of never second-guessing yourself. By trusting your instincts and embracing self-belief, you can unlock your true potential and navigate the path to success with conviction.
Self-doubt can be a pervasive force that holds us back from achieving our goals and living a fulfilling life. It whispers in our ears, planting seeds of uncertainty and making us question our abilities. However, it's crucial to understand that self-doubt is not an absolute truth. It is merely a product of our fears and insecurities.
Embrace Your Journey: Breaking Free from the Pressure of Comparison.
In a world driven by social media and constant connectivity, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. However, the path to true fulfillment lies in embracing our unique journey, rather than wishing for someone else's.
This episode aims to inspire listeners by exploring the concept of avoiding the pressure of comparison and finding inspiration without losing sight of our path. Get ready to embark on a liberating journey that will empower you to embrace your individuality and live a life true to yourself.
Invest in Quality Relationships: How to Cultivate Meaningful Connections.
Our world is so fast-paced and digitally driven that we forget to understand the value of quality relationships. But the value of relationships cannot be overstated. These connections, whether personal or professional, enrich our lives, provide support during tough times, and contribute significantly to our overall well-being. However, like any investment, nurturing quality relationships requires time, effort, and intentionality.
Investing in quality relationships is an ongoing process that requires patience, effort, and a genuine desire to connect with others. These connections enhance our lives, provide a support system, and contribute to our overall happiness and well-being. In the end, the returns on these investments are immeasurable, making the effort well worth it.
Building Healthy Relationships.
They shape our experiences, impact our emotional well-being, and significantly influence our journey through life. But, have you ever considered that recognizing your value is the foundation for nurturing healthier, more meaningful relationships?
Understanding your self-worth is not a selfish act; it's a fundamental aspect of personal growth and emotional intelligence.

NOTEBOOK IV. EPISODE 19(SEASON 2)
Well, I guess you must have figured it out...it is a series. So the experience(Gist) continues. ENJOY!
NOTEBOOK III. EPISODE 18(SEASON 2)
When it comes to relationships, conflict and altercations are inevitable. But it doesn’t have to be emotionally distressing or callous. The trouble with arguments is that they don’t work.
I’m not talking about a good debate, where you have some great ideas, and they clash, and you start a healthy back-and-forth that feels fun. I mean arguments – where tension starts to rise, responses start to get personal, and you go around in circles without getting anywhere.
Often this kind of conflict takes on a life of its own, where you end up arguing about things that are most times, not an issue. In this episode, NOTEBOOK III, Adeyinkablack shares details of a recent altercation he had, and how best he handled the situation is what we would find out. ENJOY!!!

VULNERABILITY. EPISODE 15(SEASON 2) T.M.I.T SERIES
That is why many of us might associate vulnerability with feelings of fear, uncertainty or shame.
We may have been taught not to allow ourselves to appear vulnerable (especially men in our society).
With vulnerability comes the possibility of rejection or failure, which can be scary.
Because of this, we may try to avoid being vulnerable as much as we can. While being vulnerable is often thought of as a sign of weakness, but a deeper look into this subject would make you realise it is actually a deeply important part of the human experience.
*So to my vulnerable folks...this is a glass raised in our honor 🥂. Enjoy!*
