Do you ever wonder how people seem to manage things so effortlessly and thrive ?  I can assure you that behind every success story there is always some tears, courage, resilience , passion and purpose which keeps driving one forward.

Tope Akinyemi, CEO of Marvel Natural Products is a truly versatile, authentic and down to earth friend and coach. She shares insight into some of her struggles and victories in her professional , personal and in  her marital life.

We discuss ;

- Passion - how she identified very early on in life,  her passion for positive relationships and how she met her husband.

- Professional life - the why and how she ventured into natural health products and the story behind it.

- The chemistry of relationships and the impact it can have on our physical , mental and emotional wellbeing.

- My favourite bit of this podcast is when Tope discusses the value of a community in developing and nurturing  positive communication in her marriage.
I like the idea of drawing energy from the community of friends - to enable intimacy, friendship, modelling for others but also accountability in a marriage relationship.
Look out for the 'taught and caught' inspiration during this session. She also gives some pearls for singles as well towards the end of the discussion.
Tope says, Healthy communities can change your life-find a positive one.

- She shares her own personal wellbeing strategies and how she manages to balance the act!
