The Feminine confessions podcast

Making plans is fine but having your priorities straight will yield achievable results. A lot can happen if you work for it, plan and do the work to make it happen. Get a list, write your goals and make everything about your life a priority.

Little things like taking a walk, watching a cringe worth show, making your bed, drinking tea and so on has a positive effect on our mental health. Self care is important in maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself. Keep doing things to care for your mind, body and soul

GBV is violence directed against a person because of their gender. It is prevalent in every society and today we’re discussing Gender based violence and the process of providing shelters for victims of Gender based violence.

Are men less masculine in 2022? I don’t think so but my guest seem to be of the opinion that men are more feminine. Listen to I and @thompsonanijr agree to disagree.

Saying no is as easy as saying no but sometimes people find it difficult to say no and also understand that no is a complete sentence. You don’t always have to put everyone’s needs first. Say No when you need/have to.

Be that person who constantly want to be better and improve every aspect of your life. Be that person who who constantly grow.

Sometimes, we intentionally ruin things in our lives for different reason, self sabotage is a major limitations to achieving our goals and we should address that.

Making new friends is one of the most difficult things to do as an adult, sometimes we get so carried away with our lives and we forget that we have no one in our corner. We need friends and friends need us.

I took a little break, breaks are important for you to rest and restrategize and get back in the game. So, here we go!!

Nowadays, we can’t scroll on the internet without seeing men and woman argue about who’s more important and who needs who and what? Are you the prize because you’re a woman?? Are you the prize because you’re a man??

Welcome to the third series of The Feminine Confessions Podcast.

We all have that fear of being left alone or we’ve had it in the past, how do you get past and grow from it? Listen to the last episode of this series to understand Autophobia.

This is something that isn’t talked about as much but it is very important and so think it’s time we have these conversations and stop making ignorant comments.

Your personal space is what you say it is. It is psychological yours and it protects you not just physically but also mentally. Your personal space is your invisible dome. There’s nothing wrong with having one.

Spot the signs before abuse. Over 90% of child sexual abuse is prevented through education.

In this part of the world, FEMINISM is greatly misconstrued. Women should be allowed to choose their definition of femininity and the “ideal” traits are just societal labels. Lastly, feminine traits are human traits as men can be feminine and men can also be feminist.

So this wasn’t planned, I was reading my daily devotional and I saw this topic “Boundaries are an act of love” and I thought it was quite interesting and decided to share it with you guys.

Life has a funny way of humbling us, we get disappointments and a lot of Noes. How do you stay positive and hope for the better?

It’s so funny how some guys are quick to label themselves good guys, they think they deserve love because they’re “good” and rejection is a great moral injustice. Whenever I see a post about relationships , I go to the comments and I see at least 2 comments about how girls don’t like good guys anymore. If you take your time to get to know people like that, you’d realize that they’re not good. They’re just delusional and entitled.

I think almost every person has experienced this once or twice in their adult lives. Sometimes, men will ghost on you for different reasons and most times, it has nothing to do with you. Listen to know why.

The Nigerian Government is hell bent on frustrating young people who will not conform to their “standards”. They have the right energy for the wrong things and it’s frustrating at this point. If they can focus all that energy on infrastructural development, Nigeria will be way better than it is. I am tired!!

Mental health isn’t taking as seriously as it should, with the socio-economic decline( I mean , when has it even been better) in Nigeria. A lot of young people are suffering from one kind of mental illness or the other. With little to no knowledge or course of treatment, sometimes due to lack of facilities, staffs and understaffed hospitals. Little or nothing has been done. So what next?

Despite advances against some forms of harassment, catcalling still remains one of those kinds of harassment that isn’t talked about as much as it should in our society. Catcalling is not a compliment, stop making women uncomfortable.

This episode is a rant (because why not). We as a society need to do better to protect women and children, condemn sexual assault at every opportunity you get.

Set boundaries in every aspect of your life. Setting boundaries is a sign of self respect and the people around you will know what you will accept and what you will not . Follow @the feminine confessions podcast.

During the week, there was an uproar on Twitter about women being scared of men. No matter how we look at it, we all have different experiences and they shape us and how we view life and other people. Do you think men are scary?. Visit @thefeminineconfessions.podcast on Instagram.

This is a special episode dedicated to the women around the world. I and Unique discussed the theme of this year’s international women’s day and how important it is for women to have position in society.

The first place of socialization for every human/animal is the family. Sometimes, the lack of motivation to grow personally or staying in an abusive relationship and codependency can be as a result of how you were brought up so it’s important to identify those things that we do and try to unlearn and detach ourselves from the toxic input of our family.

Loneliness is not a good feeling but it can be productive if we use it well. Don’t be too quick to enter into another relationship when you’ve not made peace with what happened in the last one.

Losing friends is a part of life. Just know you will loose friends as you continue to grow and evolve. It’s not something you should feel bad about because that action is as a result of your growth. Learn to accept that not all friendships are permanent. This episode is sponsored by @Omahresidentials on Instagram. You can follow me on Instagram @adaolisa_a.

Abuse can be physical,emotional or sexual. My first episode was on sexual assault and I talked about sexual assault in relationships and marriages. All kinds of abuse are common in toxic relationships and emotional abuse is difficult to recognize. This episode sheds more light on abuse and how to recognize one to save yourself and the next individual.

I’ve heard people talk over the years with zero knowledge about the movement and why it started. Feminism started as a suffrage movement for women’s right to vote. That was achieved through legal and political reform and over the years, women have been given more rights. More needs to be done so this is a short message to those that don’t understand or to those that don’t want to associate with it.

The past few weeks has been traumatizing to say the least. We’ve heard stories of brutal rape and murder and I’ve come to realize that when bad things happen repeatedly, people tend to normalize it. People tend to look at it as a less serious issues. Sexual assault is serious and it goes beyond rape. A lot of people have participated knowingly or unknowingly in sexual assault and it’s time to unlearn some things that we’ve been conditioned to believe.
