Claire Pedrick is in conversation with Elizabeth Uviebinené about her guided journaling app, Storia. Liz shares her journey from being an author to creating an app that helps users reflect on their lives. We delve into the impact of Storia on its users, the role of AI in journaling, and the importance of gratitude and community in personal growth. Liz emphasizes the need for tools that empower individuals to unlock their potential and navigate life's challenges.   Takeaways Storia is designed for those who struggle with traditional journaling. The app uses AI to help users identify patterns in their thoughts. Gratitude is essential for mental well-being and reflection. Community and connection are vital for personal growth. The app aims to make journaling accessible and engaging. The app is currently available on Apple devices. Users can track their journaling streaks for motivation.   Sound Bites "I want to create a tool that helps you." "The world has become very unpredictable." "You can't do this life alone. You need people." "Gratitude is the bedrock of surviving." "Storia feels more like a calling than a job." "It's humbling to see the app used worldwide." "It's like your own coach in an app."   Contact Liz by email: elizabeth@storia.world   Access the App https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/storia-daily-journal/id6455785300   Some of Liz's books:   Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible The Reset: Ideas to Change How We Work and Live  Loud Black Girls: 20 Black Women Writers Ask: What's Next?

Being busy isn't an Identity Perks aren't office Culture Profit isn't all we want from Business Loneliness shouldn't happen in a Community Inequality isn't inevitable in a City We can all shape Society From the award-winning author and Financial Times columnist Elizabeth Uviebinené, a fundamental rethink of how we work and live. Because if we're going to really benefit from the radical shift of 2020, we have to rethink how we fit into an ecosystem. Elizabeth started with a simple desire to explore our relationship with work, and how it was impacting our lives. It became clear if we want to reset how we work as individuals, we're going to need to reset the work culture we exist in, the businesses we work for, the communities we're a part of, the cities we live in and the society we can shape. We can't just rethink one strand of society; we need to rethink everything together. It's time for a Reset. The Reset is a short, digestible audiobook for people who want to work better, and live better. Elizabeth addresses our urge to work differently, to work in a way that suits more parts of our lives. It's optimistic, positive and provocative, offering fresh perspectives on the way we live now, and a punchy idea for how we might live in the future. So what's possible now that would have seemed impossible before? The Reset features interviews from: Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London Alex Mahon, CEO of Channel 4 Ete Davies, CEO of Engine Group Rachel Botsman, Oxford University's first Trust fellow Sereena Abassi, Worldwide Head of Culture and Inclusion, M&C Saatchi Anna Whitehouse (Mother Pukka), flexible working campaigner Cassandra Stavrou, Founder of Proper Indy Johar, Founder of think tank Dark Matter Labs Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham Pip Jameson, Founder of the Dots Karen Rosenkranz, trend forecaster and consultant Joanna Lyall, UK CEO of Brainlabs

For this episode, I interview Yomi Adegoke. I first came across Yomi through her amazing book ‘Slay in your lane’ which she co-wrote with Elizabeth Uviebinené. Slay in your lane is an absolute must-read, from education to work to dating, this inspirational, honest and provocative book recognises and celebrates the strides black women have already made, while providing practical advice for those who want to do the same and forge a better, visible future.The book is filled with stories from both Elizabeth and Yomi’s own lives, as well as interviews from dozens of the most successful black women in Britain – including BAFTA Award-winning director Amma Asante, British Vogue publisher Vanessa Kingori, Karen Blackett OBE CEO of Group M and Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis. Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook describes the book as “a gift for anyone who wants to better understand what Black women and girls are up against – and the tremendous resources they draw upon as they make their way in the world” Yomi is a busy lady. Alongside her book, she also writes for the Observer and The Independent and hosts her own podcast with Elizabeth. So, as you can imagine, during our conversation we cover a lot.Yomi opens up about the importance of putting herself first and taking a year out of Uni due to depression. We also discuss how during that same year she struggled to find work placements so instead decided to create her own magazine. It was through this significant year that she found her passion as a journalist. Finally, she gives some really inspirational and practical advice on how she launched her book ‘Slay in your lane’.I’m not going to reveal too much about our conversation as it is much better if you hear it straight from Yomi.

"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin Trigger: motherhood and birth are briefly mentioned in this episode. Our community has heart. The warm welcome and kind words that we've heard in response to the many incredible stories of pain, recovery and hope from our guests never fails to move us. We know that there is a lot of compassion in our audience, and strength to adapt and change. The world took a breath at the senseless murder of George Floyd this summer. Some broke lockdown to express pain and many of us felt compelled to learn. We wanted to bring the Full Stop podcast into this conversation and use our channels to show support. We thought hard about how to do this. It's so much more than a hashtag. We wanted to change with empathy. There was no question that us three white presenters would lead this episode but we had every confidence when we handed over the podcast to Yvonne John, friend to many and author of Dreaming of a Life Unlived. You'll hear a lot less of us talking but we're there and we are learning with you. As Michael says in the introduction, some of the conversations may make you uncomfortable but we're used to seeing that in others and how that feels, and we're also well versed in empathy. We really hope you'll get as much from this episode as we did. Yvonne is joined by her guests Haneefah Muhammad, Krista Cooper PhD, LLMSW, Bindi Shah and Civilla Morgan and they're talking about the impact of the murder of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter on them, how we all need to face up to change, and how childlessness and racism have affected their lives. We were also thrilled to have our first poetry reading on the podcast by Haneefah.   Resources Our guests were keen to share resources with us, but you'll hear a common theme in the episode. Education is down to the individual. We hope that you'll find this episode part of your journey to understanding.

My guests this week are Elizabeth Uviebinené and Yomi Adegoke, authors of the phenomenal Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible. Recently-released in paperback, Slay In Your Lane is absolutely essential reading. It celebrates the ways in which black women are making waves - while also highlighting the uncomfortable truth that we live in a society that makes life harder for black women. I found our conversation - which took in everything from the workplace to dating culture - both inspiring but also moving and eye-opening.

In between making me laugh a lot, Evelyn shares her career journey starting out as a secretary and realising quite quickly that she wanted to be doing something a little more exciting. Through her own tenacity, she moved into an account planning role within a creative agency. A job she loved and set her in good stead for her current role as Manager of Brand & Campaign Planning. She discusses the differences between working for agencies compared to an in-house creative team for a brand and the evolution of her role, for her current employer TJX Europe, who is responsible for brands such as TX Maxx and Homesense. She talks about progression challenges, biases and microaggressions that were previously part of her work life and the revelatory hindsight she experienced when she recently read, ‘Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible' by Yomi Adegoke & Elizabeth Uviebinené. Evelyn is heaps of fun with lashings of cheeky energy - I could have easily chatter to her for hours! Enjoy!

We discuss microaggressions and microinvalidations; the ‘white co-sign'; being racially palatable; why representation and sponsorship is so important (just 0.49% of university professors are black women); why black women are swiped left more than any other ethnic group on Tinder; and how Rihanna changed the black beauty industry.
