Of Boundaries and Self-neglect

UK vs America and Other Shenanigans

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Tokunbo, aka Toks, who resides in the UK. Toks tells us about moving to the UK from Nigeria, settling in, job hunting after university and career progression. We discuss the differences in social cues, both verbal and non-verbal, that we find bid odd, the pressure that comes with approaching the age of 30, as well as the cost of living in the US.   Toks also delves deeper on finding the love of his life and the growth he has experienced throughout their relationship. This episode also contains a brief segue on approaching the age of 30 and the pressures that come with it.   You can follow Toks on Instagram @youknowtkay Follow Tok’s girlfriend's page for her fashion feed for curvy girls on Instagram @my_coral_reef This episode was recorded in October 2022

What The Heck Are We Doing? Lessons and Tidbits on Mastering Your Life

This is one from the archives since it was recorded ages ago, but the gems we dropped in this episode still hold strong. I'm joined by my friend Samson and my sister Charlene to discuss the realities of life, what we've learned so far, and the improvements we hope to make going forward. PS: The audio is a bit wonky, so please bare with us as it has been edited to the clearest version possible. It's hard enough recording podcasts from two different continents - let alone, across three different countries! Thanks for listening and please rate and review us.
