  • The Cycle of Hatred
    Joined with my best friend of 26 years - Kim who currently lives in Canada. In this episode, we address the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery & Breonna Taylor, the general treatment of Black People as well as sharing our own experiences as black women living in society today.
    **Disclaimer, there are raw and passionate moments within of experiences shared from our own lives. I would also like to stress that we both have no issues with Caucasian people, our conversation surrounded the minority of Caucasian and Indian/ Asian people who seek to use & abuse their privileges, as well as addressing the topic of colourism & hierarchy within the Black Race. **

  • What Procrastination? We're Gaining Motivation.

    Is the lockdown and social distancing is taking a toll on your mental health? Are you finding it hard to motivate yourself for work whilst at home. It’s OK, you’re definitely not alone.

    In this episode, I give tips about ways to gain and sustain your motivation to work, create or simply tackle the every day whilst spending endless time in our homes turned work, gym, and after work chillout spot.

    Honourable mentions in this episode: @ConversationsWithLeelabee @BacchanalAbroad and @BBWPodcast

    ***DISCLAIMER**

    Lockdown is not a productivity contest and while I am sharing ways to be more productive, getting things done during this time outside of dealing with anxiety, stress, and uncertainty of our current climate is not for everyone.

    For some, the best we can do during this time is to survive it and THAT IS OKAY. In fact, it’s the most important thing. I am saying that because I don’t want you to walk away from this podcast with a sense of defeat or inadequacy because you’re not doing the most by turning your hobby into a business or learning a new skill.

    Do what you can do and that is ENOUGH.

    Look after YOU

    Hey there! I’m Wendene and this is Gracefully Speaking.
    Hailing from the beautiful island of Jamaica but living in the UK, I am a Christian, Travel and Lifestyle Blogger and Photographer.
    Gracefully Speaking is a platform created to provide encouragement for those with wearied shoulders, helping to empower, inspire and influence everyone to live out their God-given purpose. My aim is to motivate us all to move from fear to faith, through self-care and living a Christ-centred / Acts 20:24 life. 
    I’m passionate about every breathing human knowing their true worth and living with unhindered passion and courage.
    It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning… Well that my bible and coffee. So pour yourself a cup and stay awhile. I hope you find inspiration, a safe place and something that feels like both the hug and push you need.
