Nuggets From My Career Journey So Far - Funmilola Asa
Hey there!
Today's episode is a short conversation with a woman I have come to admired so much, Funmilola. She is an engineer (and many other things really) with about 15 years of experience and in this episode, she shares on her journey - Her lessons, mistakes and advice for early- to mid- stage career people. I hope you enjoy listening to this and you find it impactful. Cheers! ❤️
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!

#My2021Story: Episode 1 with Ozioma
Hey guys!
Compliments of the seasonnnn :)
For the past few years, we have run an end of the year series on my blog where we feature guests who share about their year and honestlyyyy, its been so beautiful! You can check it out here: https://diaryofalagosgirl.wordpress.com/tag/my2019story/ and here: https://diaryofalagosgirl.wordpress.com/tag/my2018story/. We are going again and this year via podcast 💃💃💃
In this series, we would be experiencing the year 2021 from other people's lenses. The whole point is to listen to them talk about their year and pick up lessons along the way, and hopefully implement it next year! ❤️❤
Today, I'm kicking off the series with my own story and I hope amidst my long tales, you get encouraged and pick one or two lessons. The other guests featured would follow from now till the 31st December, one person per day :)
