Fresh from the 100-episode hype who better to usher in the beginning of a new century than our esteemed guest Yoland - a fashion blogger who has been a valued supporter of the podcast from early. We explore the nuances of a childhood split between two wildly different locations and how it impacted the person she is today. Whilst she is at home on the podcast, fitting in has always been a struggle as an immigrant and a constant battle that required resilience and determination. Adults often look back at their youth reminded of simpler times and whilst for some they long for it this is not the case with everyone. Childhood like life is shaped by the people we are around and the experiences we go through. Having been exposed to fashion in school days, it was clear this was an area of interest for Yoland and set her on to the path she is on now. The path of life is not smooth however and at some point she found herself in therapy which in itself is still stigmatised as something for weak and crazy people. Luckily awareness around mental health is spreading and hopefully with time, things such as therapy will be treated with the same normality as a trip to the dentist. The quickest route to a therapist is love issues whether that be from parental love, relational love or self-love, it is tricky to navigate alone. Our idea of love is shaped by what we see, what we watch but too often it paints an idealistic picture of love that does not reflect reality. This can also extend to the things we are told as kids, parent or grandparents might unwittingly inflate egos and when it is not reflected outside of the home it can lead to a shock to the system. Find out all our thoughts on this and more in a deep and open edition of TheNineToFivers Podcast.
