Safe Heaven

A re-introduction of safe heaven podcast, where we at and what's coming your way this season

In this episode, I talk about my experience moving to a new country and what it has been like for me transitioning from 2021 to 2022. I also highlight on my experience talking to a counsellor recently and why it's alright to always reach out to a third party that can give you a new insight to whatever situation you're going through.

I'll be discussing a little bit about a concept I came up with- Awareness, Affirmation and Action. I call it the Triple A to help guide on why awareness is kò longer enough in battling mental illnesses.

Nigerians feel entitled to ask others about their weight, without understanding how sensitive a topic like that can be and affect the person addressed. Weight stigma is a crippling feeling that people struggling with their weight deal with on a daily basis. Here, I share my experiences and talk about why the 'Nigerian way' is a myth only done to hide the pain and trauma we feel when forced under the spotlight

This is just a glimpse into what I've been up to for the rest of 2020 and how I feel about 2021. Please listen to the end, send in your comments and I hope you listen with open minds and thoughts.
