Have you ever wondered why you're constantly seeking validation? Maybe you have felt a lack in your life without realizing that there's so much to be grateful for. This episode is dedicated to everyone who uses social media. In this episode, I shared the main reason why those platforms were created in the first place and also highlighted the issues we're currently left to deal with. FOMO is a huge factor as to why many users feel the need to constantly be on their phones. Social media should be used with intention and control because it can take a toll on your mental health. Heavy social media users are constantly left feeling inadequate. This is proven to cause depression and anxiety when it's not controlled. I will like you to let me know in the comment section if there's a positive impact of social media on your mental health.

Today, I talk to you about my fitness journey and how it has been helping me discover, heal and grow as a person. Starting any journey can be overwhelming for many of us. We're often left to figure out everything by ourselves. In the eight dimensions of wellness, fitness is proven to have a positive impact on mental health.
According to a study, people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional well-being. It also helps in managing and preventing mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. I hope an episode like this inspires you to embark on the journey too. Let me know in the comment section if you're struggling to stay consistent so that we can find ways to solve that together.

Khadijah talks about how she personally handles stress. Some of her tips might be relatable to our listeners. We’re however curious to know if there are more ways to deal with this universal problem that we all are going through.

This story you’re about to hear is a very good example of how anyone can focus on the good things of life. We shouldn’t be defined by our past but by our ability to keep pushing through every time it seems difficult. He grew up with an identity just to be told a different story all together, determined to be successful he ran away from home to start afresh. He wanted to be successful and behold he has not only achieved a lot but is on the journey of breaking more boundaries. He uses his experience as a child to help people around him and to also be the best father to his kids. It is an honor to have such an amazing strong man in my presence and I’m grateful that he used this platform to share his story.

The End SARS protest in Nigeria was a movement that affected so many people both home and abroad. It was so sad to see people die and no one has given us an explanation as to why it happened like that in the first place. I got the opportunity to have a conversation with a citizen who didn’t only go out to protest, but was able to find a way to support the cause. Paul Ameh who is a dear friend of mine shared a lot with us .The conversation went deeper when he explained how he came out very prepared but turned out that his mental health would be affected by it all. So join me as we find out how he takes care of his mental health despite the trauma.
