Hi listener!
Truly hope you are well today. I bring to you another candid yet powerful conversation with my next guest - still on the topic of beauty.
So many themes were mentioned and explored in this episode and my take home message really is how important it is for us to be honest with ourselves, because it is only when we do so, that we can start taking steps towards a direction of transformation and growth.
Join me today as my guest drops wisdom and reflects on her personal experience of beauty.

As always, God bless you family :)

What does Beauty Mean? Episode 1
To say that I am excited to release this episode is an understatement!
Please excuse all my mhhss during the conversation (they are plenty... I was in agreement throughout ahahah) and listen out for the wisdom and pure words that were mentioned during this beautiful and powerful episode with an amazing guest! This was recorded back in 2021 and I am bringing this to you now. Listening back to it before posting, I thought to myself, wow! These words will indeed touch somebody, bring light and perspective to someone's life.
This episode is a reminder to me and to you that we all carry talents that we should not hold onto and enjoy for ourselves but actually we should release so that others may also enjoy in the blessing!
So as usual, sit back, enjoy and feel free to share this with someone who you know must have a listen!

Welcome to Season 4!
I am excited to be back with new episodes!
Guys, I will be bringing to you a fresh perspective on the topic of BEAUTY! Let's talk about it :) As someone who used to compare herself a lot and use to use society's standards... I though it would be great to make time to reflect on the meaning of beauty. I found freedom in exposing my weaknesses, as my husband would say! I found freedom in challenging and unlearning what I thought beauty was. In this journey, that never ends but continually evolves, there are key people who have played a fundamental role in helping me towards acceptance. I have decided to invite some of them on the platform... so guys, ladies... buckle in, and absolutely enjoy :)
I have missed putting out content and I am beyond excited to bring you all some juice to the best of my abilities!
Love you always,
Cristina

Recorded back in June 2022 but brought to you all in 2023. Finding my feet in adulthood and married life - boy! I am learning to still have my hobbies, me time and platforms that make me smile, like the Cristina's talk show. So many people have encouraged me to come back, which has been lovely. It still took me time to actually dedicate time and get back on track but I will be honest, I am back because I really miss my show, I miss reflecting and thinking out loud. So sit tight again, as I bring back to you some old...very old episodes that have been recorded a while ago, but have not been released yet. Enjoy :)
Much love as always,
Cristina's Talk Show!

Episode 3.
Hi family- I have a new guest for you all today, my big bro. Cristina’s talk show has been a pleasure and a hobby over the last year. It has been a chance to reflect and break bread with people and my family members.
In the episode today, I bring to you a spin on teaching our children our mother tongue. I think knowing our mother tongue is such a beautiful advantage and as my bro said, teaching it to our children is a way of giving them a lifetime gift.
As you listen to the episode, I am sure that you will pick up on how simple teaching our language to our children can be when we are intentionally and consistently putting a structure in place.
I dedicate this episode to my nephew, who brings light wherever he walks in from such a young age. I dedicate this to my nephew, who is already so bold and confident. You may read this in years from now and I want you to know that Zia loves you and will love you ALWAYS!
Tune in and as always, I look forward to receiving your feedback via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com), Instagram (@cristinastalkshow) or here on Anchor.

Episode 2.
Hi family! We are still here, and I have missed you all- I sincerely hope you are all well as the year approaches to the end.
In this episode, I sat down with my amazing fiancé and we explored the impact that personality plays on learning languages. Stepping into a new country can often feel daunting, but I sincerely think that our mindset can make or break our learning experience. Seeing this learning as a beautiful journey and adventure can really take away some of the stress and uneasiness that many people (or certainly I) experience.
Tune in to listen to some of the tips that my fiancé has on making your language learning smoother, enjoyable and fun!
As always, I look forward to receiving your feedback via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com), Instagram (@cristinastalkshow) or here on Anchor.
Enjoy 😊

Episode 1.
Welcome back to Season number 3: we are joined by MY very favourite guest today. Have you ever wondered how people can “easily” pick up new languages and feel confident at expressing themselves eloquently whilst talking a foreign language? Well I have! So in this short season, we will sit together with our guest and pick their brain on their life as a polyglot, their journey into it and seek to receive some advice around learning a new language.
Sit tight and enjoy 😊
As usual, I look forward to receiving your feedback via Anchor, Insta (@cristinastalkshow) or email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com).
Lots of love,
Cristina

Last episode of season 2!
My people- I hope you are all doing well. Today we bring season 2 to a close and the guest is: Cristina, yes myself! I seized the chance to reflect on the season and and enjoy the beauty of introspection. Season 2 has been so so delightful and the guests have been AMAZING!
I hope you enjoy this episode, where I simply think out loud on culture and how we can adapt to the "foreign" culture we live in, whilst still staying true to who we are.
As usual, I cannot wait to receive your comments on Insta (@cristinastalkshow), email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com) or on Anchor.
Stay blessed,

Episode 9 everyone! We are back and today I thought to bring to you all a youth perspective on culture in the African household. What does culture mean for us young people? The internet connection really tried to steal the show but the devil is a liar you know! I hope you are able to listen and catch the beautiful conversation I had with the guest speaker. As always, enjoy and feel free to get in touch on Instagram (@cristinastalkshow), via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com) or on Anchor to share your feedback :) It would be great to hear your views and standpoints on the importance of culture! How often do you think about it and how does it affect your life? Lots of love from you girl, Cristina!

Episode 8- We are back again with another episode for you!
Today we are talking about culture. As a Nigerian daughter, I believe this season would be incomplete without exploring the topic of culture.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with mum again and asking her what culture means to her and why is so important to her.
In the episode I ask mum: "What can parents do to help their children fall in love with their roots and heritage?"
Take a listen and let me know what you think! I would love to hear how you would answer this question. There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer, but rather we can learn from one another and help each other to build a community that treasures its cultural heritage.
Feel free to send me a voice message on Anchor, comment on this episode on Instagram or via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com) as usual!
Take care of yourself,
Cristina

Join me today for another episode of season 2!
We are joined again by my beautiful mum. I have to say that recording the latest episodes has been an honour. It is so easy sometimes to see our parents only for who they are now and forget that they are also the product of their past and their environment.
In this episode, mum opens up on some of her experiences around the difficulties and joy of raising children up in a foreign country.
I honestly love my mum and how unapologetic she is.
I hope you enjoy this episode and as always, please do feel free to share your views on this episode on Instagram, here on Anchor or via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com).
Blessings!

Join me today as I bring to you a very special guest- my mum!
I had prepared myself few questions to ask my mum, but this recording turned out to be more of a platform for my mum to express herself and for me, as her daughter, to actually take some time to listen to her story and her upbringing.
What to expect from this episode? A raw and uncut conversation between mum and daughter... where the mum unapologetically opens up and reflects on her past, her family, her losses, life lessons and how all of these factors have made her who she is today.
How often do you sit down to have heart to heart chats with your parents?
Listen to the end to hear my mum's reflection on how she found it to be a guest on my podcast!
As always, get in touch with me on Insta, Anchor or via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com) to let me know your thoughts on this episode.
Blessings,
Cristina

Join myself and Tereza today where we tackle the following question: what does it mean to be a child of an African immigrant?
In this episode, Tereza and I reflect on our experiences of being brought up in different areas of the world and how this shaped who we are today. We cover themes such as learning a new language, "having an accent", moving to and schooling in a new country.
Tune in to hear us talking out loud about the values that our parents instilled in us and how we now carry them forward, putting our own twist to them.
We would love to receive feedback from you on how you found this episode. Feel free to get in touch with me on Instagram, via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com) or here on Anchor!

Living with African parents!
In this episode, myself and Tereza discuss some of our experiences on the matter. We explore some similarities and differences, touching on the importance of making life changing decisions as a way to unlock the next chapters in our lives.
What is your relationship like with your parents and your family?
We spend quite a lot of time being intentional about our relationships outside our families and in this episode we explore why effort should be made in the family too.
Hope you enjoy this one family :)
As always, get in touch with me on Instagram, Anchor or via email (cristinastalkshow@gmail.com), would love to hear your perspective!

Dig into today’s episode, where myself and Tereza have a candid conversation on our experiences of managing emotions in an African household.
What habits have you picked up from your family growing up which you have knowingly or unknowingly internalised? I believe this is such a profound question for us to ask ourselves. This not only allows us to get to know ourselves more, but it can also help us to get to know our family a lot more and appreciate the importance of unlearning learnt unhelpful behaviour.
As you listen to this episode, I would like to invite you to open your heart and come along on this introspective journey with myself and Tereza. Tereza also drops some juicy juice to help us all to unlearn- shout out to her, so much wisdom!

This is a topic very close to my heart as I believe there is much cultural richness I enjoy as a result of my personal background.
Amongst some of the themes referenced in this episode are resilience, entitlement as well as the importance of unlearning some of the unhelpful habits we sometimes pick up in this journey called life.

Join me today as we talk about perfectionism. As an ex perfectionist in the making, this episode is very close to my heart.

TOGETHER AND UNITED WE RISE- WE ARE ONE.
In today's episode, we talk about hope.
Through my tears and love, I hope to gently encourage everyone who is presently going through hardship. I believe words of life and prayers go a long way, especially when darkness seems to be the only thing that is visible.
I believe in The Light at the end of the tunnel, I believe in hope and change!

My heart is saddened to know that the above are not the only countries at war, facing injustice and inequality daily.
There needs to be a way out!
I invite everyone to offer help and support to people around us and abroad who are in need. No help is too small in this current atmosphere, so do not underestimate the power of your prayers and well wishes.
Much love family,

As an Italian author called Luigi Pirandello puts it: identity is forever evolving.
So who is behind this work of transformation and what does identity mean to you?
