Episode 38: We Need to Talk About Veekee James

Success is easy to admire. The hard work behind it? Not so much. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the people who have quietly reshaped the way I think about work, consistency and excellence—starting with Veekee James. This isn’t an episode about fame or overnight success. It’s about showing up, doing the work when nobody is watching, staying committed through the boring seasons and choosing discipline over shortcuts. We’ll talk about why I’ve stopped chasing the easiest path, the danger of feeling entitled to success, and why I believe hard work will never go out of style. If you’ve been feeling discouraged, overlooked or tempted to quit, I hope this episode reminds you that the work you’re doing today is building the life you’ll thank yourself for tomorrow.

Hey New Mum! You’re not crazy. It’s Matrescence.

In this episode, Feyi explores one of motherhood’s best-kept secrets: Matrescence, the profound physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual transformation that takes place when a woman becomes a mother. Just as adolescence marks the transition from child to adult, matrescence marks the transition from woman to mother. Why do so many women feel lost after having a baby? Why does your brain seem different? Why do you feel pulled between caring for your child and holding onto the person you used to be? For years, many women have mistaken this experience for failure, weakness, or even “losing themselves,” when in reality, they are going through one of the most significant transformations of their lives. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re becoming. 🤍

Am I A Bad Mom For Wanting More?

Motherhood changes you. But what happens when you still want more for yourself? In this honest solo episode, Faith opens up about the quiet tension many mothers carry: loving your family deeply while still wanting to build, dream, work, grow, and become. From mom guilt to the pressure of trying to “balance it all,” this conversation explores the reality of modern motherhood, choosing what matters in different seasons, and the emotional weight of wondering if wanting more somehow makes you a bad mom. If you’ve ever felt torn between showing up for your family and showing up for yourself, this episode is for you. 🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe, share with another mom, and join the conversation in the comments: Have you ever struggled with mom guilt while chasing your dreams?
