Eating Nuggets Podcast

This was unexpected but I felt led in the spirit to record and share this message after the passing of the great Chadwick Boseman. This death in the year and time that we are in has hit myself as well as others so differently and I pray the words I share following these version of events is a signpost for positivity and progress to anyone struggling at a time like this.

It’s been sometime since we’ve last digested nuggets but that reason is the premise of this episode. Entitled “Stay Centred”, I explore change; adapting to it and not losing yourself through it. In the current climate where many have begun easing into a new norm I draw on the examples of skills that were picked up during lockdown and the process of continuing with them out of the place they were picked up in.

In this episode we have a good friend of mine whose last name made me trip up on🤦🏿‍♂️, Jedidiah Watkins sharing his experiences with rehab, with his mind and with his body. He talks about the process of rehab he had to undergo as well as other experiences he has been through where his mind and/or his body have been areas in which he has had to work on.

Enjoy!

Inspired by the “More Than An Athlete” movement by Uninterrupted & LeBron James, in this Eating Nuggets episode I continue the topic of being More Than. I challenge you to think outside of your current box; your current role in life, situation, circumstance, and environment. I cancel the notion of “only being able to do one thing at one time” and become an advocate for that student studying who loves music to begin to pursue a career in music, whilst dabbling in fashion if they love that also. This episode is to tell you to never limit yourself, your thinking, what you do and what you can achieve to solely one thing but to fly with the wings of imagination, interest, and creativity that you have!

This episode stands as a continuum from the pilot Getting My Swag Back episode where I touch on depression and suffering from mental health. This episodes strips more layers back to bringing context and sharing the story of being a suicide attempt surviver on 2 different occasions. I talk about my mind state during those times and share the nuggets I took and applied that helped me out of that time.

In this episode I am joined by a friend who is less that and more a Brother, Reuben Arthur. He’s a decorated and well experienced national and international GB sprinter who shares insights on his career, his most prestigious race, battling perfection and his attitude towards it.

This is the pilot episode of the Eating Nuggets Podcast. In episode 1 I take listeners back into my life to give advice of my own personal battle with mental health and depression. Sharing my own ‘nuggets’ that I ate and picked up along the way to my self betterment.
