  • Job Searching, The Rocky IV Training Montage & New Chapters
    The last episode of season 2 is finally out! It took a little while but it's definitely worth it. I'm stepping into new chapters of my life - professionally mostly but personally as well. I've gathered my favourite lessons and advice for myself for you in this short episode where I talk about new beginnings, never writing yourself off and being great.

  • The Politics of Being Vegan
    It's the penultimate episode of season 2! On this episode, my friend Dzingai and I talk about being vegan. We talk about what life is like being an influencer, growing up between two cultures where animals are a huge part of diet and how being a vegan for him is the same as being anti-racist.

  • Doing the thing, moving on and "no ragrets"
    I'm joined on this episode by a former colleague of mine Adanma and we talk about moving on. She left her role in the organization (where we met) to pursue her creative passions so I wanted to talk to her about knowing when the right moment to move on is. We get into her discoveries about who she is professionally, how she's never had trouble moving towards a purpose and accepting that sometimes the creative process can look like watching all 7 seasons of Parks and Recreation...for the 4th time.

  • The Sum of all Parts: Dating, ADHD & Me
    When you think about ADHD, the image that might come to your mind is one of a little boy bouncing off the walls and driving their teacher crazy. But ADHD is just as real for adults and on this episode, Soraya and I talk about her experience living with it. We talk about when she realised that she struggled with things other people didn't, her diagnosis and what her experiences with dating have been like.

  • Office Banter: Being a Millennial in the Workplace

    The work place isn't quite what it used to be but the people running it still are and this often leads to the sentiment of, "Millennials are lazy and these old folks just don't get it." On this episode, I talk to Ndanu Maliti about all the stuff we're thinking about our careers and how we show up at work as young professionals, why suffering is not a part of job experience and how to ask for what you want.

  • "What the f*** is wrong with me?" Living with Bipolar Disorder

    While 2020 was rough for a lot of people, those with existing mental health issues had to navigate their pre-existing conditions with the uncertainty of where the world was, and still is today. In December 2020, Allan Ibutiti wrote this thread on twitter about what his mental health looked like in the madness of the pandemic and lockdown while also trying to figure out his career. On this episode, Allan takes me through his days in uni when he first started to struggle and the years between where he had no idea what was going on to his subsequent diagnosis a couple of years ago. 

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains themes of suicide and there are some in depth descriptions of manic and depressive episodes, as well as other bipolar-related symptoms.
