Episode 13: The One Where We Lay All our Cards Out ft. Big Mummy Jegz & Fancy Nancy

Back to back to back to back baybeee! Welcome to September! My girls and I started this month off by playing the We're Not Really Strangers Card Game. Friendship is so important to us and I think that moments where you can re-evaluate your friendship and also appreciate your friends are absolutely important. I hope you enjoy this episode - we definitely enjoyed recording it. Oh also multi-name reveal loll my name is also Ore, i probably revealed this in an episode a while back. If you want to buy the card game make sure to check out their website : https://www.werenotreallystrangers.com .

Episode 11: On Rejection, Self-Awareness, and Growth

Episode 11: On Rejection, Self-Awareness, and Growth

2022. I didn't set any goals for this year and part of that translated into me taking a "backseat" from myself and observing how and where things will go. A good chunk of my retreat from creativity was fueled by my exhaustion from rejections from programs I applied to last year. But its a Friday night and I'm feeling bubbly so here's a new episode; the first episode of the year. I hope you enjoy listening to it and I hope that if you are also recovering from rejections in any shape or form that some points that I shared help you. Feel free to share with friends and family and I hope you have a splendid day, week or weekend xx

Hi Everyone, 

This is a very candid episode. Simply put, adulting is hard and i think that by sharing my experiences and thoughts it'll be easier to get through it. If you can relate feel free to reach out on twitter @laideoflagos if not still follow me on there lol. I hope you're having a good day and for the rest of the young adults out there - you've got this !!!!

Episode Two : Yes, I had a Wattpad Phase

Episode Two : Yes, I had a Wattpad Phase

Hey everyone !!!!! Welcome back to my podcast. I tweeted a couple days ago that this episode would be full of some cringey moments - I had a Wattpad phase so you know I had to pull out some of my old works from that time for a quick storytime. This episode is filled with Wattpad content, nostalgia because who uses Skype anymore, the word "anyways" and obviously lots of love. I had a lot of fun recording this episode and I hope you enjoy listening to it. Don't forget to share with friends and family and follow me on Twitter and IG @laideoflagos
