Salted Popcorn with Jenica Leah

In this first episode of 2023 I touch on taking time out, loving the woman I became and not changing just because the year did.

After being recommended a book to read by my amazing mother, my perception on navigating life has completely changed.

With the rain as my background noise, this week I'm sharing with you guys some examples of how some people cannot be pleased and some people will always find an issue with what you do or do not do.

This weeks snack of truth is just to let you know that not everyone will like you and that's okay. Send them love and blessings and keep it moving.

Why you should mind your business and why other people should mind theirs...And I mean this in the most polite way possible.

Burnout isn't cool and as something I've experienced before I thought it would be a good topic to discuss since it's something I have learnt to identify and avoid.

The last 10 or so episodes have been sponsored by My Friend Jen Projects so in this episode I share details of the project and my motivation behind it in the hopes that you may support and help us meet out target in the last few weeks. Hope this will be an interesting one.

What will you be remembered for? I believe not only for what you do but also how you treat people. Just thinking out loud with this one.

This year I want to be more focussed on my priorities and that may mean loosing people along the way.

This week i'm talking about honesty when it comes to making decisions.

First episode of 2021 and I'm sharing an insight into some goals I didn't even realise I had achieved until I went all the way back to plans I had made in 2014. Things take time, but time is exactly what we need. Happy New Year!

This weeks episode is an emotional wrap up of my year and how Grateful I am to those that helped me the most. I realise that I am lucky and as we go into the new year may we appreciate all that we have as nothin lasts forever. Happy New Year to you all when it comes

This week is about being thankful and grateful as may people probably wish for what you have.

This weeks episode is all about timing. Just keep going because when the time is right everything you want will happen.

Still in Jamaica and still bringing the fun and valuable Jamaican proverbs to the podcast.

In this episode I'm breaking down my interpretation of this Jamaican proverb.

This weeks proverb is about making the best of a bad situation and using what you have in the moment. Enjoy!

Whilst i'm in Jamaica not knowing when I will be back in the UK, I thought I'd bring some good old Jamaican Proverbs to guide you through the next few weeks. This one is all about taking things one step at a time.

Procrastination is something we've probably all done at some point but let's leave it behind.

You'll tell from the energy that i'm passionate about this one but wanting one thing and accepting another is something we need to address.

People love negativity so try not to feed it. If something is irrelevant, leave it where it is.

Last week I really just felt the need to take a break to reflect on the last few months and be clear on how I will be moving forward. Picking up again after a long break is still possible.

I used to think the past was the past but I have come to realise that there are some things that happen in our lives we may think we have forgotten. In reality though, it has actually shaped our future.

To acknowledge the last day of sickle cell awareness month, I answer your questions truthfully and honestly about sickle cell.

If we don't take accountability for our actions in certain situations, we'll never learn from them.

Sometimes being patient pays off. Things will happen when they are meant to.

In this episode I talk about not letting one bad experience with one person impact how I go on treat others.

Finally home from hospital and reflecting on the importance of remaining calm and true to who you are, even when people try to test your spirit. Thanks for all the love and well wishes x

This week I had to remind myself of my why so I could keep going for you guys.

Sometimes the most important conversations can be the most difficult to have, but it doesn't mean we should avoid having them.

It bugs me that we are still reluctant to support each other and work together to to help us progress.

Taking everything into consideration when looking at progress and not just measuring it by time.

In the position I am in within my work life, I appreciate the value and importance of the roles that are taken on by others.

I don't know about you but since lockdown, I've missed the feeling that comes with looking good.

Last week we discussed 'speaking'. This week we're talking about 'doing'.

If you don't speak to the right people, you wont receive the right advice.

We waste too much energy on things we cannot change. We need to let them go.

This week I talk about the power of saying "No". It's a word we all need to learn to use without feeling guilty.

The day this episode goes live is actually my Birthday so were talking about gratitude.

With the death of George Floyd and the events that have followed in the past week, this weeks episode talks about why we have to keep going; in all aspects of our life.

This episode features a YouTube vlog that was recorded almost 2 years ago to the day. The message still applies today.

In this unfiltered special episode, I share the build up of events that eventually lead to me getting help for my mental health.

Jenica Leah shares her unconventional journey into the working world and how it shaped her business career.
