Thank you for listening!

In this episode I invite you to think deeply about kindness. How can you practice kindness towards others, and most importantly towards yourself. I chose a piece by Naomi Shihab Nye. I hope you find time to engage in active self-introspection.

In this episode, I share with you a poem by Maya Angelou titled, "Still I Rise". This is a poem about courage, resilience and tenacity. Despite the challenges or the opposition one faces in life, it is important to remember that there is always a way out. Remember that you can overcome! Enjoy!

As promised, we Said we would bring you a different but fun episode... in this episode you get to know more about Maka the creator of this podcast. She will be interviewed by Makabongwe our resident cohost 🤣. We hope you glean a few lessons and enjoy!

In this segment, I read out a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a Victorian poet. She wrote poetry from the age of 11, and is best known for her love poems, Sonnets from the Portuguese and Aurora Leigh.

Lessons can be drawn from pieces of poetry and writings. In this conversation we draw some inspiration for the new year, from poetry written by Ijeoma Umebinyuo. We’ve chosen pieces that we highly resonate with.

Unprecedented, unique, out of this world, lockdown, shutdown, social distancing, quarantine, self-isolation...we heard it all and it has been A LOT!! To those of us here right now, we made it. It was quite the year and in today’s podcast we talk about a few of the insights this year had to show us. Our hearts go out to all those who have had difficult experiences, we want to bring hope and peace. As cliché as this sounds the end of the year means new things and a chance to start over. Peace and joy.

“I’m exactly where I need to be right now”. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts and reflections on embracing the phase that you’re in - Right here, right now. Rather than constantly focusing on what’s next, ask yourself questions such as, “How can I make the most of this phase?”, “What are some of the things that I should learn and/or unlearn during this phase?”

Remember that one day you will wake up, and it will be your last...so make the most of every moment in life.

I hope this episode will edify your spirit! ✨

Each of us has a unique story; some stories stem from painful experiences, while others stem from beautiful experiences (The stories can be a collection of both painful and beautiful experiences). These stories make us who we are. It’s these stories that inform our perception of the world and the people around us. We have the choice to embrace our stories, both beautiful and painful. In this episode I have a conversation with Miriro and we talk about embracing our stories. How can we find purpose in the pain, where there is pain? Understand that it’s about learning through those experiences and shifting your perspective to take ownership for your life and in turn influence the lives of those around you.

Understand that you have the power to control the way you think, what matters is what you subject your mind to. In this episode I share two pieces of poetry from my book “Mantra”. The first one highlights the importance of uttering verbal affirmations and motivational quotes, daily. The second piece focuses on how uncertainties are certain, yet the biggest question is, “Amidst all the uncertainties, do you have a greater sense of purpose?”
