We are such a distracted bunch, focused and centered on serving ourselves and our insatiable desires, but this is not why we are here. We are not just here to get degrees, make money, buy houses, start families and die. We are here on purpose by purpose, and most importantly this Earth is not our home.

I’m sorry for the rough intro, but I really want my life to count for Christ. I want to be focused on things that do matter, things of eternal value, sharing the gospel, loving and serving humanity fully. Maybe you can join me on this never ending journey on refocusing on what truly matters, and maybe I can encourage you to do the same :)

This is where our focus should have been all along and where it was designed to remain.

Can mothers truly have it all? On this episode co-hosted by the amazing Blessing Ibeafu and our incredible guest Irene Moyaba. We visited the young momma’s club as promised and we are serving the tea piping hot!

Love always,

To all the ladies who feel like their ovaries are running out of time... hold your horses! In this extremely hilarious yet very educative episode. We unpacked a lot of controversies surrounding pregnancy and motherhood. Some of the questions that centered the conversation include :-

-Is “snapback culture” purely motivated by vanity?

-Is it just the young moms who get their bodies back after pregnancy?

-Why are we so stressed about stretch marks, are they avoidable?

-What happens with sex and intimacy post- partum?

-Is it possible to maintain a healthy weight during pregnancy?

On this episode co-hosted by the amazing Blessing Ibeafu and our incredible guest Uche Daubry. We visited the young momma’s club as promised and we are serving the tea piping hot! Grab your pens and paper to jot down pregnancy cheat codes ha-ha

We highly recommend this episode for everyone…ladies, men, expecting moms, moms, moms to be, expecting dads, dads, dads to be, and even those who have chosen to be child-free.

Love always,

Kuku & Blessing

Does anything really prepare you for the transformable journey of pregnancy to the destination of motherhood…apparently not!

On this episode co-hosted by the amazing Blessing Ibeafu and our incredible guest Mmabatho Mphalele. We visited the young momma’s club as promised and revealed many deep truths.

This raw but extremely insightful episode lets us in on something deeper than the physical aspects of pregnancy and motherhood. The conversation was heavy on the emotional side, especially the connection with the child, and taking up a new identity as “mom”

We highly recommend this episode for everyone…moms, moms to be, dads, dads to be and even those who have chosen to be child-free.

Love always,

Kuku & Blessing

Your acne samurai eventually had the last laugh!

On this weeks episode, we are joined with Edidiong Khloe Umoh “K-Baby”, a lawyer and enjoyment connoisseur. In this very long and very raw episode, we share our stories and the parts of our lives scarred by acne. To many of you, it’s just a skin condition, to us it was so much more believe me. We were extremely vulnerable in this episode as we unpacked our insecurities, discussed our journey to finding beauty and self-worth amidst a broken skin barrier and a wounded self-worth. I love what Khloe always says “Acne may not contribute to your beauty, but it never takes away from it”

This episode is one for the books, it’s for those with or without acne, it will teach you how to see yourself again amidst your acne and it will teach others how to treat people with acne.

Thank you once again Khloe for sharing your story, I’m forever thankful

Although a great deal of women struggle with acne, many men do so too, but we rarely hear their perspective. On today’s episode we are joined with a good friend of mine, Olasubomi Abduakeeb shares his story on dealing with acne, the insecurities acne left him with and how he’s been overcoming them. He also shared a few skincare tips lol, you’ll have to listen to find out tho...this was a very fun and vulnerable episode. I hope you leave educated and enlightened, and if you’re struggling with acne, I see you, it gets better I promise.

Love always,

Your fave acne samurai,

Kuku

When you have textured and acne-prone skin, do you ever fit into a world where glass skin has become a trend...

To begin the docu-series on “my acne, my story” we are joined with the Olotu Funke. Funke started battling with textured skin at the early age of 11. She shares how much what we would deem, a simple skin condition shaped her life and her story. That little girl has grown and blossomed into a popular brand story teller and body positivist. This was an exciting and enlightening episode. And to those who have never known what it is to struggle with acne, I hope you remember to count your blessings twice.

Love you always,

Your fellow acne samurai,

Kuku

On the final episode of the #friendorfoe series and the very first time I’m putting out an uncut episode, we are joined with Boitumelo and Miriam Micheal, lol my name sake. We delved into some brow raising conversations. Like...

📌 Is three a crowd in friendships.

📌What to do when your friend copies your hustle.

📌How to know your place in someone’s life.

📌How to sustain long lasting and long distance relationships.

I had so much fun in this episode, so many gems were dropped, although it’s super long so I recommend you listen in the shower or in the toilet if you’re a constipated person, or maybe grab some popcorn and sit in bed 🤣

Love always,

Your talkative host,

Kuku
