    I'm this episode I discuss the difficulty of getting through adversity and low seasons. I also seek to give out tips that have worked for me on how to kickstart the process of moving forward. Because WALLOWING is not the answer. Pushing through the difficult times, and the tough periods is something we all have to do. Whether it be personal, business, mental, or emotional, there are lots of variables, unknowns, and circumstances we all must handle and deal with. One of the hardest things to do is to push through the tough times and come out on the other side. Often times, it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, especially when you're inside of it, and in the thick of things. But the only way to get to there is by pushing through and persevering. It's tough for everyone, and in lots of different situations unique to themselves and their lives. It is my hope that episode is able to guide a good chunk of individuals in starting their journey

    In the past few years, conversations on mental health has been quite controversial in our country. With some people denying in its existence and others believing it to be as real as fracture one would get on their leg I'm an advocate for the latter and I believe our mental health is just as important as our physical……..sometimes even more. In this episode join me and @tawhida.xx as we talk on how to balance your mental health and stay true to your inner self. Your mental health is like a slippery slope and achieving a healthy mental state is all about achieving a good balance in your life. When your work, relationships, and self are attended to, it also reflects on your mental health Now reaching a balance is a learning process, it's not a walk in the park. You may lose your footing and find it impossible to find your way back. Which is why we decided to have conversation on how to reach a balance, how to stay true to yourself, how to deal with the pressure of being in a household where your mental state is not considered an illness and ultimately how to be a better version of yourself

    They say that the best time to live your life is when you're single And no this isn't a ploy or consolidation to us single women out there It's actually true Being single is the best time to be able to know and discover who you are. What your dreams are, your goals, your values. Where you want to be in the next 5-10 years. It also helps you learn to love yourself and learn how just because you're alone, doesn't mean you should wallow and be sad. But use as an avenue to build yourself into the best version of yourself Which is why myself and lovely came up with a list of things we believe every single woman should know before she finally settles down

    Part of being a better you or version of yourself is not to only look at your mental, spiritual and emotional being but also your physical being A lot of times, especially in Nigeria we feel like if there isn't a problem why should we bother fixing it ? We hardly pay attention to what we consume everyday? We don't make it habit to eat healthy once in while We don't remember the last time we tried to get our heart rate up? Or went for a run ? Or even a stroll We take so much advantage of our health and fitness. You don't have to be overweight to order a salad or go for a run. You don't have to be gym bro to lift weights. Being fit and healthy goes way beyond that and would prove to impact your life wayy more positively than you would expect Join me and my guest Bello as we talk about why you should care about your health and the benefits behind eating and living a healthier lifestyle

    Do you know what it means to self-sabotage ? I believe the meaning is quite self explanatory from the name itself Have you ever found yourself working toward an important goal only to spectacularly fail because you did something “stupid” Self-sabotage is often driven by you talking yourself down, you tell yourself that you're inadequate, or unworthy of success. You find yourself thinking things like, "You can't do that!" "You don't deserve that." "If you try, you'll probably just fail anyway." That in turn makes you purposely fail at something and this can be in terms of you career, academics and even relationships Manyyy people go through this Question now is…, how do you get over it ? How do you stop yourself from being your enemy of progress ? Myself, Faisal and Aisha dive into what self-sabotage is ( because you might be doing it unconsciously) and how to overcome it

    I'm part 1 we spoke about how a young man can be productive in life. We spoke about how you're never too young to start building your life. There is never a perfect time We talked about the stress young men go through to make it in life and be “successful” We talked about how giving up when things get hard or when you fail is not an option especially if you really have a dream that you want to make a reality We also talked about how you should reach for the stars and never settle for less because of what people tell you Now in part 2 A continuation of the last episode I want to ask How do you think the most successful people in the world became who they are? How do you think they made it ? Did they wait for a 9-5 job to be handed to them? Did they wait for someone to give them a business deal ? Nahhhh. They saw an opportunity and they took it. Alot of us have been told that the key to success is to just wait for a 9-5 job. However, reality is employment dosent always come easy So what do you do? How do you build your life when you don't have that job or rather it doesn't pay so well Also with the emergence of AI don't you think robots might make you unemployed ? Fareed, Faadil and I touch on all these questions that sometimes linger in the minds of young men and we talk about how best to tackle them so that you can live the life you have always wanted.

    Young men are always under a lot of pressure to be “successful”. From getting that job to being forced to sacrifice your passions and study something else because it doesn't fit into the picture perfect degree. To not knowing how to achieve their dreams. They have seen and are seeing it all. Starting from when they are about to leave high school or leave Uni or their early 20s. But crazy part is no one teaches them how to get to the goals they want to achieve. They don't know what they're doing or how to be “successful” . Very few people give them practical advice. This can be be very emotionally stressful for any young man just starting out life. In this episode I have invited both Fareed & Faadil to give us some hands on advice on what they are doing to be better versions of themselves and to be men that their children would one day look up to. This episode is like a little map to you being a better version of yourself and achieving a community where both men and women can grow and evolve
