Imposter Syndrome - Lets talk about it
You studied harder than everyone else. You got the grade. You got the compliment. You got in.And somehow...

How to achieve any goal you set
Most people don't have a goal-achievement problem. They have a goal-selection problem.Before you build a system, you have to ask the harder question — is this even your goal? Did you choose it, or did you absorb it from the people around you, from social media, from what everyone else on campus seems to be doing?In this episode, we go deep on two things: how to vet a goal before you give your
Linkedin | The stereotypes | What to do

An Honest Conversation
In this episode, I sit down to share an honest reflection on what it really means to be a student today.

Becoming that ADULT
I am sure that there are some adults that we look up to in person or on social media and wish to be like, or that we love to listen to a lot.A lot of times, it feels like these people just understand us so well, although they are afar more often, or that we just find them intriguing.The question is, how did they become such kind of adults? How can I ensure I also become one?Phone: +234 810 872 380

Knowing and preserving your identity | It matters that you know this
In this episode, I take you on a thoughtful journey into a quiet but dangerous issue, one that slowly creeps into our lives and erodes our sense of identity without us even realizing it.Not knowing who you are is more than confusion; it is a loss that affects how you think, live, and relate with the world around you.
