A Pocketful of Roses

Fam!! This is from last month's archives and I am excited about posting it finally. It was spontaneous and from my deepest of hearts. Forgiveness is an inexhaustible, sometimes exhausting topic. But, however hard it might seem, forgiveness is a sure way to stay happy and healthy. Always remember you forgive others for YOUR OWN GOOD and not anothers'. Cheers!!!

Just a quick reminder/encouragement that 'the WAIT' is a gift - a blessing in disguise. There's so much to wait for...especially if what or who you really desire is worth the wait. I shared 5 qualities I'd rather wait for in a man, whether you call me ripe or not... Also, while you wait, pray, work, be genuinely good and be happy while at it.

Hey fam! Its the 20th episode and its a rant episode. Seems a lot of people have gone bunkers these days. So, what's not to rant about? Call me old fashioned but I'd still say it a billion times that 'STANDARDS never go out of VOGUE'!!! Enjoy your listen.

Hey Guys!! We are still on the good vibes train..and in our quest to make this year a happy one as we grow and blossom, I had my baby girl, Fiffy with me on this episode. I asked some relationship questions that she had to answer honestly. Find out what the questions were and let me know your own view. Enjoy the ride. Cheers!!!

Sequel to the previous episode of the new year, In this episode, I'd be sharing 5 lessons from my brief social media fast. Hang on for few minutes...plug in your ear pods...grab a mug while I pour in some tea for you. And as usual, Cheers!!!

Happy New Year Guys!!! In this episode, I get to share how the new year has been for me so far. It's a gist of how my new year started on the 7th of January. This 2021, Don't forget to be happy, grow, thrive, bloom and blossom. So, here goes a little something....cheers!!!

Be assertive about your choice when it comes to this thing called marriage. Its supposed to be beautiful but it could turn sour when you turn a blind eye to some seemingly trivial yet important issues. Make sure you have an antidote to the poison you choose.

Unpopular opinion about not caring what people say about me!!! We are role models or leaders in our right, whether we believe or not. We can't afford to live this life as we like because we don't care. If we don't have standards or values that we live by, then, we'd fall for anything.

This is an era of change and we can't do things the same old way and expect a different result. So we have to SPEAK UP how best we can 'cos Silence is self destructing. (Spoken word poetry). #endSARS #Nigeria'srebirth #NewNigeria #sorosokegeneration

In this episode, I vent. The fact that she has a counter view or idea, and is confident enough to tell you doesn't make her proud. She just needs you to listen. Good girls also talk back!

In this episode, we talked about the things we will have loved to change about the past (too bad we can't). Yet, we are hopeful and super pumped about the future. As a 21st century Nigerian adult, we will love to change the narratives starting from our little corner. And most importantly, give good vibes ONLY!!! Cheers to an awesome listen.

We thought 'adulting' was just as easy, like a walk over...Shocker! It's not. But, it's also so much fun. There's just so much to learn from this episode, especially as a young adult. Listen to the end...and I'm sure you won't be able to wait for the concluding episode. Cheers!

In this podcast, I introduce an addition to the 5 love languages by Gary Chapman, which is 'Not Having To ASK' . This suggests sensitivity and taking initiative as a new way of showing you love someone, hence the 6th love language. To be able to discern a person's needs and meet them is the best expression of love.

Toun Banjo sits with us to share how 'adulting' has been so far and some lessons she has learnt as a Nigerian Adult. These lessons are central to any tribe, nationality, race or religion. Among other lessons shared, Toun says as an adult, you should learn to DO IT AFRAID.

It's okay to weak. Men also cry. There's no such thing as Super Man. No!

A personal journal of how I got through a momentary downtime and useful tips that just might help you get through yours. You should know that life's downtimes are inevitable, but temporal. You are not alone too. Our parents probably didn't tell us how to do this, (well, maybe they did in their own way). But, here I am giving you helpful inside gist. What am I here for anyways?? Ps. You do not need to thank me. You're welcome anytime. Useful info: Just breathe!!! To put a face to the name: IG- @ariiberries. Twitter : @PremiereAri.

Jesudunmo continues to lend her voice to as many that care to listen. Once you see signs that this person (your significant other) will have (or has) a problem with you in a brighter form, RUN.....Listen away fam! Cheers!!!

Confidence is arguably one of the most important values an individual should possess. Very admirable, yet sadly rare! Lack of confidence has caused both the young and the old to lose their identity and self worth. This episode is an interview with Jesudunmo Longe, a lady that distinguishes herself from others, young and old with her confidence level any time-t. Listen to the end and hear how she teaches you to ultimately shut out negativity and gain more confidence especially while still young.

A continuation of the previous episode on My Premise on Feminism. Please listen till the end.

Feminism from a believer's point of view. Don't be scared, not yet and not ever. This is all what you already know in bits, put together as a whole. I'm sure this has got a thing or two for you. Whether you are man or woman, you've got something to trash from this ideology and something to keep. Quick instructions, please listen to this before the next, listen till the end and thank me later. Cheers!!!

I honestly wasn't so sure what love really meant, till just lately. This episode describes the vulnerable nature of love using the three states of matter. Please listen to the end. Thank you. Note: I meant to say Warren Barfield's 'Love is not a fight' and not Warren Buffet. Apologies please!
