Understanding Boundaries In Relationships

Understanding Boundaries In Relationships

Hey there!

In today's episode, I talk about boundaries in relationships: what they are, why they are useful and how they can be put in place. I share some tales of times when how failing to set up boundaries cost me and also, how setting them up at other times was a blessing to me. Something I missed out was that as a believer, I believe we ought to love everyone so these things I share not in anyway to say you do not love people or you do not treat them right. They are specifically about allowing people into your space beyond the basic obligation of love.

I hope this adds value to you. If it does, please let me know. Cheers and God bless!

Hey guys!

Compliments of the seasonnnn :)

Continuing in our #My2021Story, my friend Mubarak shares about his year from the uncertainty of graduation, to finding his feet with his job, getting married and aspirations for the new year. I particularly liked his love story (Yesss I love LOVE) and how he handled a situation that seemed to be a loss, and how that taught him a great deal about the subject of failure.

We spoke about his wife's YouTube channel so if you want to know more about how they met etc, please check her out here and show her some loveeee. Its not easy to create content o... Ehen! In all, I hope this episode is value adding to you! Thank you for listening ❤️

Dealing With Addictions

Heyyyy there!

On this episode I shared about addictions and how they can be overcome. I shared a few personal tales and I know when we say addictions, people are quick to think of drugs, alcohol or sex. However, addictions aren't just these "big" things.  It can be as little (or big) as Instagram, Twitter or Pure Bliss biscuit. I hope the things shared in this podcast are helpful to you or someone you know. Thank you for listening. Much loveeee 💜💜💜
