We explore why so many talented women remain unnoticed, why participating online can seem challenging, and what personal branding truly should be without the pressure.Bridget shares practical insights on building professional authority, positioning yourself for growth without waiting to be noticed, and the shifts women should pay attention to as we move into 2026. This is a grounded conversation for women who are ready to own their voice and be more intentional about their careers.Connect with Bridget:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachbridget1
2025 was a year of highs and bumps, of romanticising life and learning from the stumbles, but one thing is certain: it was unforgettable. I discovered a little more about myself and started staying grounded in my ways and the work I love.For the podcast, we published 51 episodes, crossed 100k listens, and through it all, YOU were here, standing by and supporting every step. I am deeply grateful.May 2026 be a year of growth creatively, financially, and spiritually. Dear Rockstar, own this year like it's yours, because it absolutely can be.
There's been a lot of conversation online about insecurity in Nigeria, with some people framing it as a Christian genocide or a Muslims-versus-Christians issue. While there's no denying that insecurity is completely out of control, I don't think it's honest to reduce something this complex to a religious war.On this episode of random musings, I talk about why, as a Muslim, I refuse to carry shame for so-called “Islamic” terrorists or bandits. Anyone willing to read, learn, or even lightly understand Islam will see that what's happening has nothing to do with the religion itself.This is not Islam. And because of that, it's not my shame — or any Muslim's shame — to carry.
On this episode of random musings, I talk about the Danish deception story that was all over TikTok. I kept seeing people confidently say things like, “I could never be scammed” or “that would never happen to me,” and it got me thinking.The truth is, scams are not one-size-fits-all. Just because one type wouldn't work on you doesn't mean another one couldn't. And most importantly, shaming victims who have to come to share their pain and experience is not exactly the way to go because it just gives the people who commit these crimes the cover to keep doing these evil things. Did you listen to the story as well? Share your thoughts with me on Twitter via @Queen_Raffy. In this episode, I talk about why that “it can never be me” mindset is unrealistic, how judgment shows up online, and why a little humility goes a long way when we're talking about people's experiences.
Another round trip around the sun has been completed, and my favourite day of the year is finally here. #Year32 was a season of unlearning, shedding, breaking old patterns, and quietly rebuilding myself from the inside out. It pushed me to release identities that no longer fit and return to the One who has always carried me — the Creator who writes the script long before I step into the scene.#Year32 taught me that joy is something I can reclaim, not something I have to earn. It taught me that peace is not a location — it is a decision. And it reminded me that survival is not the goal anymore… living fully is.As #Year33 begins, I am choosing softness with strength, clearer boundaries, and a deeper trust in Almighty Allah. Whatever the future holds, I walk into it with steadiness, gratitude, and the quiet confidence of someone who has gone through fire and came out whole. Ameen.In this episode, I share the truths, lessons, and little miracles that helped me rewrite myself this year. I hope something in it touches you, affirms you, or permits you to choose joy again.Thank you in advance for the prayers, the wishes, and the love. And if you feel generous… the gifts too.
Adulting can feel overwhelming sometimes, but lately I've been reflecting on the little joys that come with it, too. In this episode of Random Musings, I share some of the upsides I've noticed, such as the communities we get to build, the autonomy to make our own choices, and the freedom to spend our money the way we want.What about you? Have you discovered any good sides to adulting? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Share them with me on Twitter: @queenraffyspacepodcast
In this episode of Random Musings, I discuss how harsh people can be towards oversharers and why that judgment often overlooks the bigger picture. If you've ever shared a little too much and then felt regret afterwards, this one is for you. I share practical tips to help oversharers protect themselves, set healthy boundaries, and express openly without carrying the weight of embarrassment later.
In this episode of random musings, I go on a bit of a rant about negativity because some people seem hooked on it. Everything they see, they twist into something bad. That is not a healthy way to live. I share why staying stuck in that mindset does more harm than good and why it is so important to flip the script, shift your perspective, and choose a better way to see life.
Not So Terrible People by Nana Sule is a book that blends everyday human struggles with the mystical. I loved how she crafted celestial creatures like the devil and jinns with such human-like features, making the stories feel both familiar and otherworldly at the same time.

For this episode of Random Musings, I reflect on three powerful qualities that define Nigerians—resilience, creativity, and the ability not to sweat the small stuff. These traits have helped us thrive in challenging environments, making us resourceful, adaptable, and forward-thinking. Yet, in certain moments, they can also be a double-edged sword.How does our resilience sometimes lead to unnecessary endurance? Does our creativity sometimes come at the cost of structure? And does our ability to brush off the small stuff sometimes mean ignoring bigger, systemic issues?Listen to the full episode and share your thoughts on the topic with me via the comments or on Twitter - https://x.com/QueenRaffySpace
