Beautiful Mind Podcast: Recent Episodes
Yvonne Edo-olotu
Beautiful mind podcast focuses on Christian faith, lifestyle, personal development and everything in between.
No matter where you are in life you will always need friends. Some say the older you get, the harder it is to make new friends. In this episode, I want us to get into how to manage your friendships as you get older and how boundaries are key. You will also learn about spotting red flags in friendships that are not serving us the right way.
So you are looking at yourself and thinking about why you are still single. Another Valentine's day has come and gone and there you are alone. You wonder if God understands how you are feeling. What will happen if you never meet the one?
In this episode, I interview Omotayo Adeola who is a writer, producer, content creator and author of How to be Single; the definitive guide to singleness. Simply put, she knows how to be single and has used her platform to destigmatize singleness while sharing stories of intimacy with God and how you can learn to know God's voice.
Hey you!
Congratulations on making it this far! 🥳🥳
What a year!
In this episode, we recap some of our episodes from this year and discuss the ups and downs of 2020. All in all, you made it to the end of 2020. In spite of the woes of the year, we were blessed with good music, books and movies, job promotions, weddings, engagements, friendships, babies, and so much more. I believe for these, we should all be super grateful.
I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for sharing, liking, and listening to the Beautiful Mind podcast this year. Let's keep this energy in 2021! 🎉🎉
I wish you a fantastic new year ahead.

Today's guest is Naomie Odutayo, a Financial analyst in the Asset & Wealth Management division of a Fortune 500 corporation in the United States of America. But Naomie didn't start there. In fact, she earned multiple degrees in a completely different field before realizing that what she really wanted to do was finance. So she made a switch.
We talk about making a change into the field you are meant to be in. She shares valuable tips on maintaining friendships and her view on side hustle culture. Enjoy!

Do you ever set a goal, work towards achieving it, and fall off the bandwagon along the way? Yep🤭. I learnt why that happens often from reading "Atomic Habits by James Clear.
In this episode, I share excerpts from the book and tips on how to form new habits in the second half of the year. So that you can work from a place of identity💃🏾 and not from outcomes👌🏾.
Keep hope alive, stay at home, and ensure social distancing at all times💪🏾. We shall overcome🙌🏾.

How are you doing? I hope you are keeping safe and washing your hands often. In today's episode, I share my top 5 activities to keep your mind and body occupied during these Covid19 times especially if your city is on lockdown. I know that at this point you may not be in the mental space to engage in all these activities as your top priority is to survive. Survival is key! I want you to push yourself to try at least one of these things. You just may get abs in the process or learn video editing, who knows?
Please continue to stay at home and ensure social distancing at all times.
Enjoy!
Happy Women's History Month and welcome back to Beautiful Mind Podcast!
Do not be afraid! I don't condone any form of domestic violence and neither should you.
However, everyday women are told that they do not deserve a seat at the table and that my friend is unacceptable! To celebrate International Women's day I interviewed one of the smartest people I have met in my life- a scholar, international lawyer, boss lady, wife, sister and my amazing friend- Dr. Damilola Bamgbose.
We discuss early experiences with gender inequality and why equality is not a women's issue, tips on building sister friendships, balancing career and how sleep is an essential part of self-care.
Enjoy!

Hello Beautiful Mind Podcast Lovers 🤗
As Hans Christian Anderson said, 'To travel is to live'.
In todays episode I chat with Doyin Agboola, CEO and lead consultant of Nigerians Travel Too. We talked on leisure travel✈, overcoming travel barriers (e.g. our Nigerian passport 😓), travel hacks, running a travel & tours business, and countries you have to visit in your lifetime.
She says that life should be all about connecting, and we totally agree. Which is one of the major reasons why customers choose to travel with Nigerians Travel Too, as well as the opportunity to network and make new friends👫👭. One of her tips to balancing life and work may be what you need (so listen closely).
At the end of this episode, I guarantee that you’ll have travel FOMO 😄.

Hello and Welcome to Part 2 of Unashamed: Tomi's Journey from Addiction to Redemption
Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so! In Part 1 we encountered God the Redeemer through Tomi's eyes. Tomi shared how God freed her from the guilt of an Abortion, broke the chains of Addiction and covered her shame.
In this episode we hear Tomi open up in her letters to God, she speaks to anyone dealing with a similar painful past on how to heal, her favourite Bible verses and she reveals her version of selfcare. Tomi's journey will remind you that God's arms are always open wide ready to receive you always, all ways.
