Do you dream of a life that seems out of reach? Have you ever longed to make a jump - be it a career change, starting your own business, or even moving abroad? This episode is for you. I sat down to talk with Ronke Emielu, Digital Director and co-founder of The Jump School - an online platform that's helping others leave their comfort zone and dive into new waters. With an impressive career journey, spanning from London, to Nigeria, Los Angeles and today Dubai, Ronke is no stranger to making the necessary moves to create a life that she loves. In this episode we delve deeper into her journey as we question what has contributed to her drive, what happens when a jump doesn't work out, and finally, the reward of leaving your comfort zone.

After a year like 2020, the word "alignment" took on a whole new meaning for me. There were many moments when it was tempting to go after the shiny thing, instead of staying true to my own path. Whether the distractions come in the form of social media, comparison or even fear – I believe that we can all do the inner work it takes to get aligned. In this episode I share 3 ways to find clarity, master focus and ultimately be aligned for your journey.

Have you ever felt like you're in a season where you would much rather hit "fast forward" and get to the good bit? Maybe comparison is looming, and discontentment building. We've all been there at some point. For some of us, this was 2020. Itching to be somewhere else, doing something else, maybe even with someone else. In this conversation, I speak with Elite Performance Coach, Mayfair Clements about why honouring the season you're in truly matters and most importantly, how we can begin to do that work. We also talk all things marriage, self-love and find out more about she got to where she is today.

In this episode, I share seven lessons that I am learning from this lockdown season. I'm talking everything from the importance of self care to unhealthy habits that some of us may have been forced to hold to the light and examine. I think we can all agree that this time has afforded us the opportunity to be introspective like never before. Whether you are noticing new things about yourself or having past lessons affirmed, I believe there is always value in paying attention to how we respond to difficult seasons. These are just a few of the things I have observed about myself and others at this time.
I pray more than anything that this encourages you or inspires some helpful thoughts in your day-to-day. At the most basic level, I hope it gives you some insight into how I am dealing with this time. I am sending my thoughts, love and prayers to all of us as we navigate these unprecedented times together. I don't know much as this is all new but one thing I do know, is that this too will pass. Until then, stay safe and stay home and remember to keep trusting the process.

Around 3 or 4 years ago, whilst walking with Claud on one of our many in depth talks, we spoke about Trusting The Process. We envisioned, dreamed and spoke it into being. Unknowingly at the time, Claud played a significantly huge impact in helping me birth the idea you see today. fast forward a few years, and I couldn't think of any better man to honour International Men's Day 2019 with than Mr Claud Williams.
Entrepreneur, Speaker and Brand Consultant, Claud is probable best known for his role as Founder and Managing Director at Dream Nation, the personal development brand fit for the 21st century. After a TED Talk experience that went less than favourably, Claud sought to create a space where he could "rewrite" what was. The beginning of "Practical Dreaming". Unknowingly, what was supposed to be a one-off event, led to the birth of the successful business we see today, Dream Nation.
Listen as we talk about failing forward. How the lowest of lows can catapult you forward into your destiny, why the highs are fleeting, and how all of these different experiences have made Claud the man he is today.

Back again with the much-anticipated part 2 of our conversation with Florence Adepoju, founder of acclaimed makeup brand MDMflow and beauty brand Flow Beauty Co. In this candid talk, Florence opens up about how she bounced back from a business low. Staying true to the mantra we always share here which is that “you are allowed to change your mind”, we discuss the art of the pivot in business. When is the right time to change your strategy? And how do you deal with the shame that people sometimes try to project onto you? Florence shares how a text message birthed the transition from running her businesses full time to saying yes to a 9-5.
Looking ahead we discuss the future of MDMflow and how Florence will manage her new role at Fanbytes with building her own brand.

A long-awaited conversation, I sat down with girl boss, business owner and beauty obsessed Florence Adepoju of MDMflow and Flow Beauty Co. From humble beginnings in retail to formulating her own lipsticks at home - Florence has successfully built the iconic hip-hop inspired makeup brand MDM Flow. Gaining international attention from heavy weight publications Vogue, Elle and Grazia, to name a few, Florence shows how self-belief, faith and hard work can make anything possible.
In part one of our chat, we talk about where it all began. How does one make the transition from their 9-5 and actually raise capital to start their own business? Are VC investments always a good idea? A true marketer, Florence identifies the importance of understanding who your audience are and who they are not. Finally, she shares how the best way to dispel the fear is by doing the work. Stay tuned for part 2, coming soon!

Aloha! Happy to be back today with this solo episode for a good ole one-on-one chat about lessons from this current season I am navigating. In this episode I talk about the many ways that we prohibit our own joy; knowingly and unknowingly. A lesson I am passionate about - I offer some ways that we can actively and intentionally divorce self-sabotage and begin to truly lean into joy.
I also share how investing in the quality of our relationships can dramatically improve the quality of our lives.

Continuing our conversation with doctor, artist and writer Sutra, we pick things back up from the near-death experience that changed everything. Bravely, Sutra shares the realities of the effects of burnout and depression and how her mental health had hit an all-time low. But she didn't stay there. We discover how what looked like a tragedy became the turning point in her journey of practicing self-care and maintaining her well being. Discussing the importance of being honest with yourself first, and then others, we learn how opening up, faith and love brought Sutra back to life.

With Mental Health in the black community being so close to my heart, it was important for me to have this conversation with the phenomenal being that is Sutra. Sutra is the founder of the platform that is making vulnerability cool again, Poll Therapy (instagram.com/polltherapy). Doctor by profession, artist by nature (including music and literary work) Sutra boldly revels in being many things - and does it with grace.
In episode 15, we sat down during Mental Health Awareness week to have an honest conversation around experiencing a loss of joy. How a close dance with death changed everything and the role of art and faith in her own healing process.
We talk about discovering her creative voice in medical school. And delving deeper into topics within Sutra’s debut book “Marrow”, we unpack identity and what home looks like for Ghana-raised Sutra.

In this second part of our conversation with social media and photography queen Dorothy Tamuno, we talk all things relationships. What does the wedding planning process reveal to us about our friendships? How can we better manage our expectations to avoid inevitable disappointment? Reflecting on her upbringing, Dorothy talks about spending the most part of her adolescence without her father, and the impact that had on her approach to affection. We delve deeper into what running a business with your husband is like and finally, Dorothy and I discuss the concept of waiting and why it’s entirely necessary for our growth.

For this intimate episode, I sat down with none other than social media/photographer extraordinaire and my friend - Dorothy Tamuno, co-founder of Social Media Live and the face behind some of Instagrams hottest shoots. A highly requested conversation, I knew I had to have Dorothy on the podcast to share her story from quitting her 9-5 in the corporate world, to building her own creative business which she runs with her husband Precious Tamuno. Now 4 years on since leaving the Finance world, Dorothy is the definition of booked busy and blessed and you may or not be surprised to find that God's guidance had a LOT to do with it.

Every so often I meet someone who embodies excellence in all that they do. Hannah Ajala is one of those people. Since having the pleasure of hosting her launch party for We Are Black Journos, I have been honoured to have front row seats to the growth and journey Hannah is on.
With 5 years under her belt at the prestigious BBC, at the age of 25 Hannah recently joined the BBC Africa team where her passion and creativity are making waves in sharing our stories. When she's not slaying news reports and creating viral documentaries - Hannah is a self professed "Jack of all trades, master of all". Founding movements and organisations such as mentorship programme "Pursue Your Passion", black travel community, "Black British Travel Meet Up" and women's Christian fellowship, "Ladies Who Fellowship", it's fair to say that she has her hand in many pots.
In this episode (part 1 of my conversation with Hannah) we explore just how she balances so many passions and why it is important that we do the things that make us come alive. We talk about the face of journalism and ask what moves are being made in diversity and inclusion, and we also unpack what it takes to do a TED Talk, and find that rejection is often God's form of redirection.
