It's been a healthy amount of time but I'm ready to be back. After turning 20, I had a brief 1/5 life crisis. Being young, wild and free in a global pandemic is NOT the one! But I'm trying to make it work as best as I can.

In this episode I go into the fears of getting older and having to find my purpose. For most young people, the struggle to find a balance between what you love and what will make you successful is such a debacle in a society where making money rules everything. I explore the affects of this on my life and expectations for myself in the future too.

It has been a while, so I thought I'd do a fun catch up episode to update you all on where I've been and how I have been doing. It's summer now (my favourite season), so excitement and good vibrations are high. I'm glad to be back!

For this season finale we have our very first guest: 'Self-Proclaimed Plantain Lover' Chanel! We've been by each other's side for almost a decade and our bond has only grown stronger.

Following Oprah's interview with Megan and Harry, I felt prompted to discuss my experience of racism in the U.K. I also unravel the harmful narrative of being a ‘Strong Independent Black Woman', a title that comes with unreasonably high expectations for Black Women in a world where we are persistently neglected.

Confidence is something that doesn't come naturally to me and with societal pressures to be perfection it's a persistent struggle to maintain a secure level of confidence.

This episode discusses my views on spirituality and how I enable myself to attract what I truly want. I explain the 7 Chakras and share ways on tools I use to rebalance them.

The affirmation ‘I am Loved' has got me through some funky times.

I go on to explore how these differences have made me behave now and how I aim to develop my limited knowledge of love.
