A transition is never easy. It can be a lot moving from one thing you're used to, to another whole new thing entirely. It can be hard moving from "your norm" to "the unknown", and I get it. On today's episode, I'm joined with my beautiful guest, Mercy Godwin, to discuss what it is like being in a toxic space (whether it's friendships or relationships, etc.) and how to transition from that to a healthy space, where you're your best self and thriving. 

Aren't you tired of the ups and downs? Are you so accustomed to chaos and instability in your friendships and relationships that you don't know what "healthy" looks like? Want to live life differently and experience a kind of glow that only comes from within when you are at peace in your friendships and relationships? Well, this episode is for you! Listen, share, and we'd love to hear your feedback. Check out the podcast on IG! 

P.S. Healthy friendships and relationships are anything but boring! There! I said it!

Men want sex and women want money. Wanting something isn't bad but in a case where there's a relationship involved, wanting something out of selfish reason is borderline toxic. Transactional relationships are common in our times today. Men are willingly to give something in exchange for what they want and women would offer what they can to get money. It's like a Trade By Barter situation in relationship which has no substantial value. Narcissists tend to exist in these types of relationships because they are only looking out for themselves and what they can get. 

The big question is: What happens when there's nothing to offer anymore? 

In another light, what is the relation between transactional relationships and having expectations when in a relationship. Find out in today's episode!

This episode features a few friends of mine--Laura, Hermit, Kachi, and Onyinye.

Enjoy!

On this week's episode, we're talking about an unpopular opinion in the times we live in. Women have several birth control measures including 'the pill', but men don't. My question is WHY? Should men have the option of the pill as a birth control measure? Do you agree? Do you disagree? I'm joined by my wonderful guest and friend, Collins Ndubuisi, aka Wire, to discuss what birth control pills for men would be like in today's world. After all, a man can get one woman pregnant and while she is pregnant for the nine-month period, the man can decide to get several other women pregnant in that period. And women are the ones told to get birth control?! That's crazy to me! 

What do you think? And what could be the possible implications of men having the option of the pill while in relationships and marriages?
