Old school meets new school. Part 1.

Old school meets new school. Part 1.

The title connotes the episode. Lol.

For those of you that don't know, old people are my spirit animal. As an homage to that fact, I decided to introduce a new series that will feature old people. 

This one premiers with my biological father (Daddy) and I couldn't be more grateful. Although really sick, he still showed up for me.

Thank you Daddy.


Hope you enjoy listening.

The audacity of self awareness.

The audacity of self awareness.

Aside from the audacity that these busybodies (i.e us and then some) carry themselves with, what is it about self aware people that makes you want to explode? Better still, how can self-awareness help you? Listen to this episode where I have my writer friend Inny as my guest to find out more. And yep, we had the most fun. Inny is on instagram as @iam_innycredible.

I am not a robot.

I am not a robot.

This episode is important to me. Just thinking about putting this out was giving me major anxiety. I was cringing, sweating profusely, fidgeting, second guessing just editing. But I am so sorry but I not a robot. I am just as vulnerable. Hope you understand? Also you’re not alone. Happy mental health week. Ok, bye.  P.S All “these white noises” albeit not grammatically correct was said multiple times for major emphasis.

So, are we going to keep pretending?

So, are we going to keep pretending?

Happy independence day Nigeria.

My country turned 61 and it was only appropriate that I discussed some of Nigeria's issues on the pod.

I love Nigeria but Nigeria's got to step up especially at 61.

You ought to step up too. Be the reason they speak good about Nigeria.

 Stop pretending everything is okay.

Bants of Love

Ever had someone tell you they loved you after one random, short and insignificant encounter? Things dey sha occur. Lol 

On this episode, Austin of The Talking Phoenix Podcast and I talk about "Love" in all it's glory and share some of our experiences as well. It's a really chilled episode, so get cozy and listen up. We hope you have as much fun listening as we had when recording it.

Love might be concession.

Love might be concession.

Love just like life does not always pan out how we imagine or envision or want.

The question is when it when it does (whenever that happens), are we ever ready to make concessions?

Join me on this episode as we (John and I) navigate this topic in our own way.

John is on Instagram and Twitter @johnraul_.

All is fair in love and Gaslighting.

All is fair in love and Gaslighting.

''Love is growth through experiences and maturity through unlikely situations. To generalize from one heartbreak is childish and to make a declaration from one trial and error is unhealthy''.    _Innocent Okochikwu. But I guess we are going to try. It is not a myth that good and genuine people get hurt from bad and toxic lovers. As much as we acknowledge that gaslighting prevails in over 50 percent of romantic relationships, we also acknowledge that God saves. Lol On this episode, I am joined by one of my world's favourite people, Martha (someone who's also loved and lost to love again) to discuss this sensitive topic and trust me, it was the best decision. My guest Martha is on Instagram @moi_lade.

The tyranny of entitlement.

The tyranny of entitlement.

The noun, entitlement as it relates to benefits typically means a good thing.  But in this case, I am examining the stereotypes, the bad and the almost ugly. Of course y'all can relate.

Hey, It's OK.

Hey, It's OK.

Hey it's Ok is the first of the ''Sue's Journal and Burn Book'' mini and in very few cases, (not so mini) series where I take excerpts from my journals from over time and turn them into audio monologues. Hey It's OK straddles the thing line between normal, human and standard. 

Disclaimer: With no intent to trigger you, Hey It's OK was mentioned 100 times (or less), a deliberate act purely for emphasis.

Dear All, Indulge me here for a minute. I'm pretty sure I am not alone on this table. Who else feels ripped off that we weren't warned enough about this necessary evil called adulthood especially since we all acknowledge that the world and the economy is changing fast? This episode gets me in all sorts of feelings, including but not limited to my maniacally inclined laughter. lol 

Also I may or may not have opened up a bit on the charade of weirdness that is called my life.
