  • EP 28: New Dispensation

    Guess who's back, back again - Shady's back, tell a friend!

    Can we pretend that I didn't leave you guys in radio silence for four months? Can we pretend that I've been publishing podcasts back to back and that a catchup episode isn't necessary? No? Okay...

    Hello everyone, welcome to season 3. It's the same ol' Doris but with a different post code. I am deeply sorry. Life happened and as with every new experience, I have been going through the various stages of change and have hopefully reached the point of acceptance. This episode shares a bit about my journey and all the fun I plan to have on the podcast going forward. Enjoy..

  • EP 27: It's Giving Tears..

    Not much to say... goodbyes are hard so you may call this the cry me a river episode.

    This one is for me, and for everyone having major doubts before a huge decision - what if it turns out to be such an unforgettable experience?

    Well, Lagos was.

  • EP 26: Okay. But Are You Happy?

    On this episode, we welcome back Jennifer Ugorji for a light-hearted chat about choices, trade-offs, children, work, men and everything in-between. As you can guess, this conversation was random but thoughtful and full of many belly laughs. Listen and play the games along with us and let me know how you did. Have I mentioned how Jennifer threw some questions at me and for the first time...I discuss my ideal man (at least what he looks like in my head - and no, he doesn't have to drop from the sky holding a lightsaber ). Find Jennifer on instagram @jeneeffah and follow her social impact project @game.for.hope to connect with the amazing work she's doing.

  • EP 25: How About NO! - An ode to The Tinder Swindler..

    "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is a lie" - These are words to live by when you meet someone new. 

    The Tinder Swindler has us all amazed as to how he pulled off a Ponzi scheme to amass millions of dollars from women around the world. Everyone is talking about the new documentary on Netflix yet somebody somewhere is about to fall victim to another con artist just because they do not want to say NO and mean it..

    On this episode, I share tips yet again on how to unleash the power of NO and avoid being a victim because sad as it is, most of the perpetrators walk free after ruining lives.

    As J.Cole said.."Watch the snakes cut they are watching you"

  • EP 24: My Favourite F word

    It's Friend! Oh yes, my favourite F word is Friendship...what did you think my favourite F word would be? Food? haha

    I’ve been accused of romanticizing friendship, and it’s true, I do. I really love my friends and I’m not ashamed to admit that my friends are amazing. It’s difficult to organize your life around friendship in a world that’s built for couples, and it’s doubly difficult when your time with friends is seen as a fun extracurricular activity instead of a basic human need. Friendships are so much more and we grow older, there needs to be intention because friendship is not easy. Listen as I share my views on what makes for a great friendship and some of the tell-tale signs that a friendship has outlived its usefulness...RUN!

  • EP 23: What's Your Flavour?

    On this episode, I have a good ol' chat with my buddy Emeka [@no1_wordsmith] and we talked about dating in your 30s, dating in Lagos, and dating spring chickens (apparently, that's some people's flavour *side eye*). Well, Emeka answered some of the burning questions I have always wanted to ask men and he shares his very interesting views on the most random things. Listen to laugh and catch up with all the fun we had on the pod.

  • EP 22: Skipping “Breakfast” In The New Year
    You shouldn't skip breakfast they say.. It's the most important meal of the day (debatable). But what about when the "Breakfast" in question is a callous meal served with a sword straight through the heart? That's right...I am talking about heartbreaks and the very wicked games people play with the emotions of others. How do we avoid being taken for a ride on the make-believe express? Happy New Year Folks..Listen as I discuss a topic that hits close to home and had me fascinated at the lengths people would go to be deceitful.
