  • "It was all about vanity" - Women & Our Relationship with Food

    Season 2 is here! We're back baby! Women, food and our bodies - do you even need someone to talk to you about it or can you do your own monologue!? Liz Okomba is the owner and founder of Precious Wellness and knows a thing or two about dieting. 

    A former serial dieter, Liz talks to me about her relationship with food back then and finding balance for herself by raising her autistic son and discovering the power of food.

  • Street Preachers, Thirst Traps & the Entitlement of Strangers Online

    It's a takeover episode and a season finale all in one! 

    Andrew is one of those people who loves to turn ideas and thoughts over and over in his head to try and make sense of them and one of the things we've discussed at length is how people behave online. Why do we feel an ownership over the behavior of strangers online and what is it about us that makes us act the way we do? He took these questions to someone who knows the internet (& Beyonce!) pretty well. Nonie - who believes in the power of the phone and the internet-  chats to Andrew about how she navigates online spaces and how asking ourselves some hard questions about the way we act online is the beginning of a healthy relationship with social media.

  • "Getting" poetry, some sentiments on Rupi Kaur & making life a little easier for artists in Kenya

    Michael Onsando (@woozie_m) is a long time friend of mine and a writer who's just released another book of poetry, The Perilous Journey to Beyond My Nose. So aside from plugging his new body of work, we talk about poetry and how it can seem inaccessible no matter how much we love it, what the publishing landscape looks like in Kenya and how Michael and his friends have started the July Agency to try and make it a little easier for artists.

  • Sitting with discomfort, staying in the present and other lessons off the yoga mat

    This week, Julie Majale, an old high school friend of mine is on the podcast! She calls herself a student of the practice and she tells me what yoga has given her physically, mentally and spiritually. We talk about what that journey has been like for her, how yoga has made her the mother and human she is today and the biggest misconceptions about yoga that drive her crazy.

  • Being "good" vs. Being "nice" and life lessons from God of War
    The question at the heart of this episode with my friend and colleague, Stanley, is - how do you show up for yourself? We talk about what it actually means to show up for yourself, the never-ending process of self-discovery, and how video games can teach you some amazing lessons on what you need for this life.

  • Pausing your outrage, Frank Ocean & other things about the internet

    We have a guest this week! Fuego is a friend back from my radio days whose willingness to mentally spar with me on all things pop culture is something I've always appreciated. So I brought him on the podcast to talk music and its impact, how Frank Ocean is his most relatable artist, and why arguing with strangers on the internet is always a bad idea.

  • "A bad day is not a bad life" - and other bits on change
    Change is still heavy on my mind. I've been fascinated with how I've been able to keep up with certain changes and new habits in my life lately and took some moments on this episode to share with you how I think that's happened. You may not get a lot done or change much but this pandemic can be a period for reflection.
