The MoChunks Show

This week on The MoChunks Show, on #ChitChatWithMo, I share some of the reasons why I decided to wait till marriage to have sex. Some reasons were religious, some more physical than spiritual, and some more sentimental. It’s a juicy conversation- enjoy!

What are your thoughts on waiting till marriage to have sex?

Would you, are you or have you done so? Or would you not?

What were your reasons? Any regrets?

Would you choose this route again?

This week on The MoChunks Show, I discuss, Navigating Jealousy. Jealousy, the green eyed monster; an often vilified emotion that without the correct tools to navigate may result in terrible endings. Jealousy is more common than we think and can actually become a healthy, positive emotion, if channelled correctly, towards inspiration or practising contentment, for instance. Enjoy!

What are your thoughts on navigating jealousy?

Are you someone who gets jealous and at what level?

Do you think jealousy can be turned into a positive emotion?

In this week’s episode, for #ChitChatWithMo, I talk about one of the biggest breakthrough afrobeats artist of 2022, Asake! His rise to fame is definitely one that I’ve been observing in awe. To me, his success is a fantastic illustration of the phrase - “luck is what happens when preparation meets a moment of opportunity”. Asake was so ready, that when he met his catalyst, Olamide, things really took off for him.

What are your thoughts?

Have you observed Asake’s success story so far?

Do you find it inspiring?

What other success stories do you know of and love?

This week on The MoChunks Show, for #ChitChatWithMo I talk about consistency vs sustainability, as we go into the new year buzzing with new goals. Some of us don't quite keep up with the goals we set for various reasons - a video by "melaniefixiesmindsets" on TikTok has changed how I will approach things going forward and it just might do the same for you!   

What are your thoughts? 

What are your New Year's resolutions? 

What goals, dreams and visions do you have for yourself in 2023? 

Do you think consistency is overrated? 

Will your approach to your goals be consistency or sustainability or a bit of both?

TW: In this episode, we are discussing a very sensitive topic, in the nature of abuse. Please join us on the next episode if this topic is too heavy for you.

As someone who has grown up in various church settings, I have observed this insidious culture of cover up when it came to matters of abvse, especially when responding appropriately may have saved several lives. Sometimes it seems like we are more concerned about showing “grace” to the perpetrators of these acts than protecting their victims.

What are your thoughts on the Church's response to abuse?

Why in some instances are the perpetrators more protected than

victims? Especially when the damage is done by a leader?

Can any changes be made?

In this episode, I get to catch up with the amazing Manny, we talked about so much we both relate to from starting off in the creative scene around the same time, growing our brands, pivoting away from initial plans & being flexible through it all. We also touch on when to give up on a dream and so much more!

What are your thoughts on downscaling or pulling back from your passions, re-strategising with a plan to upscale again later on?

What are some strategies you feel are useful in creating longevity when chasing a vision or trying to fulfil your dreams and God's plans for your life?

When to give up on a dream?

In today’s episode, I talk through some of the surprising changes that I noticed in my body post 25. I realised the ladies that had gone ahead of myself were really telling the truth lol. I talked through my weight loss journey & maintenance pre vs post 25; some of the things I found out whilst researching what could be going on & reaching a place of surrender, whilst focusing on optimal health. I also talk through approaching wellness through a lens of self love as that impacts how we ultimately see ourselves.

Let me know your thoughts!

Have you seen any changes in your body post 25? What has been your reaction(s) if any?

Any advice to your younger self or to others going through similar?
