    Hi friends. In this week's episode we talk about Sunk Costs and how they impact my decision making (even though I try not to let them). Time or money that's already been spent and can't be recovered? That's a sunk cost and it SHOULD be irrelevant to future decision making but it's easier said than done. That's why it's so hard to leave long term relationships or to make big career and life changes. And why it's hard to pivot!

    Hi friends. On this weeks episode it's a non-book-review book-review! Featuring a book I read last year called Belong, written by Radha Agrawal. We get into a few of the key takeaways from the book but mostly we discuss community building and my dreams of creating a community for women (centred around work). I ramble a lot but I think the main idea is that I want to build an authentic community that supports working women who are questioning what they want out of their work. I'm playing around with the idea of there being a new wave of women who are seeking to find more purpose and fulfilment from their jobs but don't know how to. Do they pivot into a new career? Do they start a business? Do they just stick it out? These are things me and my sister and my girlfriends talk about, and I want to talk about it more. Do you have any of these same feelings about your work? Wanting more, wanting different, wanting better but not quite sure what that looks like for you? Reach out and let me know.

    We're pivoting ladies! I know I told you this podcast was all about entrepreneurship and starting a business BUT… I've recently realized (while recording this podcast!) that there's more to it than that. In order for me to start a successful business and be the type of boss ass bitch I'd be jealous of (ala Rihanna, who just hit billionaire status!!! I'm excited for her and obviously so jealous I could fall over) I gotta deal with some of my hatin ass demons! For reals, I gotta find a way to know myself, and love and value myself - mind, body and spirit. And that's the pivot! This podcast will still follow my journey to starting my business because having a business is so central to my idea of who I want to be. But it's also going to dig into some of my issues regarding fear, shame, self-love and purpose. But we're not just gonna talk about it we're gonna BE about it! I've set a few big goals for myself. To achieve them I'm gonna take baby steps and do one thing each week to know myself better and love myself more. This week my challenge is to look at myself NAKED while I brush my teeth in the morning. I've never done it before

It's still in development! *Disclaimer* I know there's no such thing as an “ideal” body type and I don't think that came across during my pitch (something me and Mariam discussed but I still messed up in my delivery). At Nkedo I celebrate all bodies and know that there is no ONE ideal body! That's why I started this whole thing. There are lots of bodies, real bodies! And they're all different. Stretch marks, chunks, hyper-pigmentation and all! I'll find a way to work that in the next time I do my pitch. This week I'm so so so jealous of local influencers and just basically anyone who has a decent social media following. *Disclaimer#2* Sorry about the shitty audio quality for the jelly segment!
