In this episode I talk about one of the best books I’ve ever come across; “A New Earth” by Eckart Tolle. This book made so much of an impact on my life that I decided to get the name tattooed on my arm recently. I explain why it’s such a powerful read, then I read quotes from the book, and expand on some with personal anecdotes. 

The book’s description via Goodreads.com:

“In "A New Earth," Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence. "The Power of Now" was a question-and-answer handbook. "A New Earth" has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, "A New Earth" is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life and for building a better world.”

If you read the book I'd love to hear your thoughts!

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Tinthi. She is one of the founders of Origin Papers; a platform for creative collaborators to share art and stories and to become immersed in different cultures. As an immigrant from Zimbabwe, she has gone on to live in multiple places.  In this episode we answer two questions: what characteristics of friends do you value the most? What personality trait would you change about yourself?  Tinti then discusses what it was like being the daughter of diplomats, the birth of Origin Papers, what it means to be a "Third Culture Kid" and the sacrifices she has to make in order to make her dreams come true. She is a beautiful human and her work ethic is  very admirable. Follow Origin Papers on Instagram here. Follow Tinthi’s personal Instagram here. https://www.originpapers.com/about

I'm back from travelling and while I was gone I had been thinking a lot about self-confidence. I decided to talk about my personal experience with self-confidence in this episode and how I gradually become more comfortable with myself. I hope that if you're struggling with your self-confidence right now, you'll take something from this episode. I can't lie... the methods will probably suck but the outcome will be so rewarding. Please take it easy on yourself, you're doing great. 

Thanks for listening!

PART II of episode 15.  In this episode I am joined by my two friends Ralitsa (who was a guest on episode 7)and Fiston to discuss relationships. We dove into so many areas of relationships: why not dating until adulthood can be a great thing for your self-confidence and identity. Dating as a black woman. Questions to ask yourself about what you bring to a relationship. What to consider when choosing a partner. And of course, I ask Ralitsa and Fiston what a relationship means to them.

In this episode I sit down with Ana Loza to discuss racism, colourism, white privilege, white-washing in Hollywood... we briefly dip our toes into each of these topics. We talk about what it was like to grow up in different countries and how that experience was for us as black women. Ana Loza filmed this as a Youtube video, and I decided to record the audio so I could turn it into a podcast episode.  If you would prefer to watch the video, the links are below:

In this mini episode I decided to discuss death. It's a hard subject but I personally use it to help fuel my motivation (yes, sometimes it doesn't work). My family lost a family member, and it is really tough, but it changed the way I look at life (in a positive way). I also refer to the amazing book I just finished reading; "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck" by Mark Manson, as he discusses death briefly at the end of the book. 

Much love to you all!
