Rubies Talk

Sharing from experience on what I think could be helpful in navigating the concept of parenting ahead of marriage.

Parenting alone has to be one of the toughest things anyone can do or is doing. I see you all and I celebrate you.

As our kids grow, they are looking up to us for inspiration. We all actually have a wealth of wisdom that we can pass on to them. Our kids can learn from our stories, our mistakes, our success and our life experiences.

Many of us prepare for marriage, but parenting? How well?

I was in Nigeria last year for my mom’s birthday. I came back to the US and realized what happened to me.

Life can get really overwhelming. The onus is on us to take conscious steps to focus on the things that matter.

Happy New year friends! Thanks for always stopping by. This year we need to consciously prepare for what we are hoping to get have. The opportunities life throws at us must meet us prepared.

There are no perfect parenting styles, our parenting style is shaped and influenced by our personality, our upbringing, our level of exposure and environment. However we decide to go about raising our kids, I believe somethings should be constant.

There is a lot to learn as parents and would be parents. Today I shared a few things that are working for me and a few I wish I knew earlier. What about you?

There are no perfect humans. There are no perfect marriages. Identifying what causes misunderstanding between you and your spouse and knowing how to consciously mitigate them is essential. For a marriage to work, everyone has a part to play.

This Episode 8 recording is a sequel to Episode 7 where we talked about some of the things we were glad we knew before going into the institution of marriage. If you haven't listened to Episode 7, you might want to do that before starting this Episode. A lot of people have a variety of things they consider before getting married. Some of these things are obvious while some are not. Today, Bimbo and I addressed some things we consider important but might be missed by a few.

You can’t over prepare for marriage but you can under prepare. What you know or don’t know going into marriage will play a role in how tough, easy or successful your relationship will be.

Everyone was done with the year 2020. If you’re about listening to my very first podcast in 2021, it simply means you made it! You’re here, and that’s all that matters. I’m thankful for you. I pray 2021 is a much better year for you and I. Happy New Year!

Microsoft has taken the lead in making this important decision many have been anticipating or dreading. This decision by MS formed a base for the topic I started in my prior episode.

There are so many things that are keys to succeeding in life. Some are indisputable, one has worked for me and is still working for me and I thought I should talk about it in this episode. Thanks for always stopping by.

In Episode 3 Season 1 (E3S1) we talked about the idea of doing side businesses, side projects, embarking on various initiatives etc. An act that is popularly called side hustle. If you haven’t listened, try to listen to it before E3S2. This particular episode addresses the idea of having side hustle(s) for the sole aim of making money.

On this episode, I decided to address a question my cousin asked a while ago. “Everyone around me is doing something ...What can I do?”

This is my very first episode and I thought I should share a little bit about myself and what my podcast sessions would be about. I am very happy doing this.
