Dear Loved One

Love, in its quiet certainty and daily choosing.

In this Valentine’s Day special of the Hangout with Chels podcast, married couples open their hearts and write letters to their spouses, letters filled with gratitude, vulnerability, laughter, and faith.

Dear Loved One is a celebration of marriage as lived: imperfect, intentional, deeply thoughtful, and anchored in love. These letters remind us that love is not just found in grand gestures, but in commitment, prayer, partnership, and choosing each other, again and again.

Whether you’re married, single, hopeful, or simply listening with an open heart, this episode invites you to witness what it looks like to love and be loved well.

Dear Future Spouse

Hope written in ink, faith spoken aloud.

In this Valentine’s Day special of the Hangout with Chels podcast, singles write letters to the people they hope to one day call “my spouse.”

Dear Future Spouse is an intimate collection of hopes, prayers, boundaries, desires, and dreams, written with honesty, vulnerability, and faith. These letters reflect the courage it takes to believe in love, even when you haven’t met it yet.

This episode is for the waiting hearts, the hopeful ones, and anyone learning to trust God with the timing of love.

After a long break, I return with a gist that quickly turns into a reflection on faith, marriage, and timing. What starts as a casual conversation becomes an uncomfortable revelation about how easily we try to bend principles to suit our desires, especially when it comes to relationships and children.

This episode explores:

• Modern dating expectations and rushed timelines

• Faith versus convenience

• The pressure placed on women around marriage and childbirth

• What happens when we “know better” but still choose otherwise

This isn’t advice. It’s a conversation.
And maybe an invitation to trust God a little more deeply.

In this episode, I share some late-night reflections on LinkedIn, the polished platform where we all present our polished work stories.

From “updating spreadsheets” to “transforming raw data into actionable insights,” I discuss the amusing gap between what we do and how we present it, the fears that creep in when opportunities arise, and why it’s okay to admit we don’t always feel ready.

I didn’t know what to call this, so I’m calling it Life.
It’s raw and unrehearsed, just me talking through the day I found out my cousin passed. No goodbyes, just gone.

There’s no tidy bow on this one. But if you’re grieving, if you’ve ever asked “gone to where?” or if you’ve ever had to believe that God is still good in the middle of pain, this one is for you.

God gives. God takes. Blessed be His name.
See you in the next episode.

In this episode, I talk about how I build walls, mountains, really, out of the little things that hurt: "a broken promise, a brushed-aside feeling, a subtle comment". I explore how fear sometimes hides behind my caution, and how vulnerability, for me, is often filtered through control. This is a reflection on trust, honesty, and the quiet work of tearing down what I’ve built to protect myself. If you've ever felt the same, I hope this gives you space to breathe and feel seen.

How often do we let assumptions shape our reality? In this episode, we explore the cost of miscommunication, the weight of unspoken words, and the missed opportunities that come from failing to clarify.

This is my personal reflections and we uncover the power of talking things through—and why forgiveness and understanding might just be the keys to stronger connections.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of love and connection. What does it mean to love deeply, and how do we balance that with respecting the boundaries of those we care about?

We’ll explore the tension between giving your all in relationships and learning to adjust when your love feels unreciprocated. Love isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and sometimes it means asking hard questions: How does the other person want to be loved? How do we navigate our own emotions while honoring theirs?

We’ll also talk about the beauty of effortless relationships, the kind that just “click,” and how even those require intention and care to thrive. If you’ve ever struggled with how to love or be loved, this one’s for you.

Hey Guys,

It's been a long time I posted anything and this is the end of Season 5

Join me for a tale on my personal experience living in the mad city called Lagos.

This is a vulnerable unedited, no background music playing birthday episode.

Recording now is twice as hard as I have to learn how to use these modern day apps to edit.

But I wanted most importantly to share my heart, I love to record but there are so many parts of me that I want to keep exploring and we will see where the journey takes us to.

This is the joyful year

P.S Say a prayer for me, pardon the background noise you might hear. I love you all so much.
