It takes a lot of strength to juggle a full time job, a full time mother, a full time wife, a full time housekeeper, a business, the inlaws, helping in the community, other side hustle and still be sane!

In this episode, Bimbola and Jo celebrate the black woman for her strength, her tenacity and her unrelenting drive for sucess

Have you ever wondered if you are a good or bad mum? By whose standard do you measure how good a mother you are? What does a good mum look like?

There's an african proverb that says "it takes a whole village to raise a child". Being a mum is a lot of work and requires a lot of time, patience and HELP FROM OTHERS! It's not about being a good mum or not, it's about doing the best you can for your children and asking for help when you need it so you are not overworked, overstretched or stressed!

In this episode Bimbola and Jo share their personal struggles with balancing motherhood with a full time job and still making time to follow their own dreams whilst living in the UK.

This is Episode 2 of the Bestof2Podcast. Today's topic is Friendship - 'Sister Friend'. There's an African proverb that says "a friend is someone you share the path with". Cultivating a true friendship with someone whom you consider a 'Sister Friend' takes commitment, openness, vulnerability and time. Sometimes our culture can restrict that openness and vulnerability due to the suspicious nature of our nigerian culture. We are happy to share our successes but not our struggles. True friendship though does not pick and choose what is shared and can only thrive where there's 100% transparency.

In this episode Bimbola and Jo share their personal examples of sister friends and provide some 'jollof' (nuggets) on this topic.

This is Episode 1 of the Bestof2Podcast. Today's topic is Delegating. As the Nigerian saying goes; "I can't come and go and die", we find that as Nigerian women living in the United Kingdom without the luxury of the numerous help we are used to back home, it is important we learn the act of delegation and make delegating our best friend.

Our culture silently dictates that the household chores, looking after the children, cooking and cleaning and every other household matter is the woman's role! This same culture forgets that nowadays women work and contribute more than household chores!

In this episode Bimbola and Jo share their take on delegating, the benefits of it, the manner of delegation adding some humour during the discussion
