Teaching is known as one of the most noble professions in the world. However, to what extent is the profession noble to the one practicing it. Can it have a dark side to it? This episode I share my experience of teaching and one of the burdens that impacted me during my time of practice.
We often make decisions in a hurry based off of the expectations that others place on us and this can be in the form of telling us what dreams to follow. In the end confusing us as to what our hearts really want to do. Here are a few points on what I wish I knew before I entered university…
Death can often come across as weapons disguised to change our lives in the lost most unimaginable way possible. We also often find ourselves asking questions we will never get answers to. But always know that during this time of loss you are not alone and you have the power to accept it in your own way and time. Here is how I only mourned the death of my grandmother 3 months later.
Birth control is used for different reasons and I believe that every woman is entitled to have body autonomy and decide to go on it or not. In this taboo episode I share my open experiences on how the pill affected my body.
I know how many of us can get frustrated when what we want does not arrive on our table and then we end up not enjoying our life in the present. In the podcast I share how I create a routine for manifesting in my life and sharing the secret tool to romanticizing your life : “being present” . I hope that you too will start thinking of ways on how to bring your manifestations intentionally to life and finding ways on how to live a mindful and fulfilling life.
Can you believe it! We’re six months into the year already. Still stuck in those bad habits ? Still wondering if you should start something ? Well…start now sis, it’s never too late 😁. Figure out what’s that one thing you wanted to change when you entered into 2022, now is your chance.
It would snow the day I become exclusive. Many of us end up going on dates and developing strong feelings towards someone in which we hope to be in a committed relationship with , but things just end up going south. This is a controversial conversation I had to have with myself. And I decided that I needed to stop being concerned about being in a relationship and that I needed to focus on the relationship I have with myself instead. I am dateable ,just not right now. And that is okay :)
Starting up a conversation on money can be quite daunting. Personally I used to hate talking about money, it would frustrate me because I was in denial on not knowing how to use it. After all money makes the world go round and it’s our duty to learn good financial tips and how to spend our money wisely. The aim is to spend smart not insanely.
We often keep secrets that aren’t meant to be kept for too long… Once we break free from the secrets in our past we realise that we don’t just set those free , we set ourselves free from being imprisoned by them for too long. Here’s my secret I’ve kept to almost a decade and I am finally free from it and moving forward with grace.
The future can sometimes be overwhelming. But you need to understand that not everything is in your control, and that includes the future. As adults we so stressed about the future that we struggle to be present in the moment and focus on what really matters and that’s NOW. Being afraid of the future can be normal but we have to learn not to stress about it too much .
The process of healing does not end when the wound is no longer visible , it ends when it no longer aches and hurts. Going back to therapy was a decision I had to take in order for me to move forward. However therapy can be defined in many ways… and the best part is you get to choose how to heal. It can be through music, exercise, counselling ,painting or even meditation. How you choose to heal is up to you and it shouldn’t be a decision made my anyone else besides YOU.
Your only competition is you! Your journey is yours for a reason , don’t worry about what’s on other people’s plate. Your journey is different to others , it’s your duty to be focused on yours and fall in love with it.
