Don't accept it just because it has been given to you. 2020 is the year of taking control. 

This week I am joined by Tola Adeking - physiotherapist, personal trainer and founder of 'Takers Club'. We had a powerful conversation about her journey into the fitness industry, claiming back her power as a black woman and how she is actively shaping the future of black business and helping her community find the strength to make their voices heard.

Are you getting in your own way? Is it that you can't, or just that you're not giving yourself permission to? What you desire in life is normally on the other side of your own fear or doubt. For this weeks episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the infectious fashion stylish turned life coach, Kira Matthews. We got into the nitty gritty of giving yourself permission to say yes to your dreams, not being afraid to look at the bigger picture, accepting negative thoughts and using them to fuel you and what to do if you want to move from point A to point B in your career/life but you don't quite know how.

Kira also has her very own podcast 'Bold, Brilliant and Broke' which is a breath of fresh air and a goldmine of empowering guests and topics centred around creatives and the all too familiar struggles they face day-to-day.

Gratitude for life’s small but beautiful blessings. This week I chat with one of my most treasured friends and queen of the arts, Bethany Elmer. We discuss vegan food and finding comfort in the kitchen, practicing gratitude, finding peace in the small things and authenticity.
