In this episode of Unwired Reflections, Chioma briefly talks about some of her thoughts on personal growth, with it being such a broad topic, a lot can be said. What does personal growth mean to you?

In today's Episode Hadisa and Chioma discuss Addiction. Addiction can take on many different forms and often people forget that this is a mental illness like any other. We are quick to judge or stigmatise when understanding and support should be our first response. Join us in the discussion

Episode three follows Chioma's journey of learning to accept life for how it is in the present moment, and rid herself of her perfectionist principles. Planning out every aspect of your being ultimately leads to more pain than good, when you become too preoccupied with the future, you begin to lose the present.

This week Hadisa, Lucy and Chioma discuss the elusive illusions we experience when we sleep... otherwise known as dreams. We delve into popular interpretations by prominent Psychotherapist Freud and psychoanalyst Carl Yung and uncover Religious/ Spiritual interpretations of dreams.

What do you think dreams are? Do you think they can tell us more about ourselves and the universe or are they simply a recollection of our memories and experiences?
