Grace Victory: Dealing With Guilt, Healing & Understanding Emotions - Ep 166 Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

This week’s episode I am joined by Grace Victory who is one of my favourite people ever. Grace is a blogger, writer, TA therapist in training and is all about multidimensional wellbeing.
Back in September Grace joined me for a live recording of the podcast and since then we’ve stayed in touch via text but hadn’t really had a catch up face-to-face since so this was a great excuse for a recording with her. And we all know so much has changed within the world with the cover pandemic and uprising of Black Lives Matter movement, which have effected us all emotionally and mentally.
So it was great to get Grace back on the podcast to discuss what she’s been up to and her learnings in lockdown. What I always love is Grace’s honesty with herself and her emotions, particularly when she shared a really vulnerable moment towards the end of this episode which she hasn’t mention publicly before.
During this conversation, we spoke about:

Dealing with feelings of guilt
Life going back to normal after lockdown
Developing romantic relationships in lockdown
Healing from deep trauma

Show notes

This week’s episode I am joined by Alex Reads and Ryan Nile who are two incredible content creators - Alex is the host of the podcast 'Time To Talk with Alex Reads' and Ryan host the 'Ryan Nile Show' podcast and IG lives.
I got together with the boys for an important discussion about race and the experience of growing up as a black man in London. I hope that this conversation can provide some inspiration to start making the change we want to see.
Emotionally there’s a lot going on right now in the world and we are really living in unprecedented times. But through all of this, we need to start seeing action and part of that comes from a position of educate ourselves and understanding. And that is the purpose of this conversation
During this conversation, we spoke about:

How having tough conversations are a good thing
The multi layers of racism
The impact of small actions
How we can start creating change

My Spiritual Journey: A Live Numerology Reading - Ep 159 Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

This week’s episode I am joined by my friend Momo who gave me a live numerology reading. Over the past few years, I’ve been exploring more and more spirituality and since getting to know Momo, she’s definitely helped me along that journey.
So I thought it would be interesting to do my numerology reading live on the podcast and see what came up. And it was quite interesting because there’s a few subject and insecurities that came up during the reading, which I don’t usually share out loud in public but also some great personal learnings.
During this conversation, we spoke about:

Learning from everybody you meet in life
My guilty relationship with money
What happens to your should when you die
