Hear me out, Sis.

In this episode, I talk about gratitude in real time—what it looks like to appreciate where you are while still still dreaming about where you’re going and most importantly looking at where you’re coming from.Also touched on Brizzo. Him being on tour with B2k.. That lit something in me… Confirmation. Confirmation that dreams are real, and they’re closer than we think. His gratitude to God lit something even bigger. And with it being my birthday month 🥹 I’ve just been overwhelmed with gratitude. God has carried me through seasons I didn’t even think I’d survive, and somehow I’m still here, still growing, still becoming.So this is your sign to pause, reflect, and say thank you—for everything that’s working out, even the parts you don’t fully understand yet. Your journey is unfolding exactly how it needs to. ✨Love and light Ri

This episode is a real conversation between two friends about life, career (surviving the aviation industry) love, and growth. We explore relationships from both perspectives — the misunderstandings, the expectations, and the importance of honesty with yourself and your partner. It’s not perfect, and that’s the point. Just two people trying to make sense of it all while being real about their experiences and lessons learnedWe also unpack real-life experiences, including the things women do that men don’t always like, and the pressure both sides feel in modern relationships. It’s not about blaming anyone — it’s about understanding, learning, and growing. PS: If you’ve ever struggled to be fully real with your partner, this conversation is for you.Love and Light Ri and Kelvin

There are seasons of life nobody prepares you for.Not even life itself will prepare you for them.The seasons where things don’t look the way you imagined (The life you thought you’d be living vs reality)The seasons where prayers feel delayed and everyone around you seems to be moving forward.The seasons where you question everything.Just because your life looks different right now doesn’t mean you’re behind.The quiet seasons are the ones where God is doing His deepest work. 🌱Love and light 🖤Ri

So… when are you getting married?’ A question many hear, but few talk about the pressure behind it. As if marriage is as easy as drinking water Thou shall not stress anybody about marriage. I briefly talked about embracing seasons of change, and trusting that God restores the years we feel we’ve lost, because with God, your story is never late — He is the God of suddenly.Love and light Ri

Hey guysFirstly happy valentines Hope you guys were filled with love Secondly No better time to drop an episode with my partner right ? We tackled a couple of things (talking stages, honest conversations etc) answered a few of your questions but most importantly we stressed the fact that love is so eazi and straightforward.I hope you’ll enjoy this episode just as much as we enjoyed relishing it for you Love and Light Ri

Happy New Everyone 🤍Welcome to season 3 of the HMOS podcast. I hope the beginning of the year is feeling like a warm hug from God.This episode is raw. In the beginning I was scared to record because I didn’t wanna be vulnerable but it’s okay not to be okay right ? Life has been a lot lately . The last two months have been a sad movie and unfortunately I’ve been the main actress.I’ve questioned God a lot lately but I’ve also trusted him more.Extremely anxious about this year but also praying it goes well.Enjoy listening Love and light Ri 🤍

Season 3 Finale…We’ve finally come to the end of this season.This episode is a bit all over the place..,in the best way.I touch on quite a few things, but at its core, it’s a life update. Conversations from Friendsmas sparked a lot of reflection, leaving me questioning life, people, and the lack of authenticity in this social-media era… and more.But you know what? I won’t say too much.I’ll let you listen.Lastly, thank you so much for the immense love and support throughout this season. I’m truly grateful, more than words can express.Love and light, always.Ri

You know how sometimes we utter the words can never be me ? OhoooI’m sure if you have experienced real life you’ll know that it really can be you.Even tomorrow Read a post to you guys that sums up why you should never say “Can never be me”Enjoy

Hey guysI hope you’re doing well and enjoying December just like your host is. I can safely say the December spirit is upon meLast episode I spoke about how I wasn’t feeling December, Oh hunaaay we are so up now lolDecember is Decembering Secondly You know how people love to speak about someone when they haven’t even received an updated version of the person they’re speaking about ? Oh “Maria is so so and so” yet you haven’t even spoken to me in decades.You don’t know meYou don’t know the person I’ve become.So when speaking about people or about a situation please ensure you get your facts right.Download the updated version of people Love and light Maria

T’is the season to be jolly 🎄I don’t know if it’s just me or Christmas hasn’t really been the same lately.Maybe because I’m an adult now. Maybe because life isn’t as easy as it was when I was younger. Maybe because I’m not looking forward to Santa. Can’t exactly pin point what it is but I truly want the Christmas spark back.In this episode I’m discussing Christmas as an adult. We’re kinda responsible for how our Christmas pans out now lolHappy listening Love and light Ri.

We’re inching towards the end of 2025. It’s been a long year tbh and it’s easy to feel discouraged around this time of the year.Looking at your 2025 goals and realizing you haven’t achieved most of them. That’s okay. As long you still have breath in your lungs. You can always try again but don’t forget to remain grateful. Even for the little things.Second part is advise to my Corporate people.Also this is advise to younger me if she were starting work tomorrow.Enjoy listening Love and light Ri

First things first in the beginning of this episode I said we’re six months into the new month.Forgive me , it’s the fatigue. It’s supposed to be 6 days into the new month Secondly Have you ever experienced the worst side of somebody and then you go ahead and witness them display the best side of themselves to somebody else? That is a thing. Especially With relationships but even with friends and family too. The worst part is someone can treat you so poorly and then go ahead and treat the next person with utmost kindness.In this episode I’m explaining how this is possible and also how more often than not it’s not a you thing. It’s the other person Maybe they’re grieving, maybe they’ve lost a job, maybe they’re battling something so personal that they can’t even speak up.So many possibilities but it’s still not a valid reason to treat people terribly.Enjoy listening Love and light Ri

In my 20s, money has been one of my biggest teachers. I’ve learned when to save, when to spend, and when to live a little.In this episode, I open up about how I’ve handled my finances so far, the lessons, the slip-ups, and the little wins that keep me going.Saving money hasn’t always come easy for me, but I’ve learned a few things along the way. I’ve managed to grow my savings, cutdown on the expenses, mindset that keeps me disciplined, and understanding the difference between saving and investing.Ps: I’m not a financial advisor or expert. Just stating what works for me Love and Light Ri

In this episode I briefly touch on my health ( currently going through it, pray for me)Also the main topic is loneliness leading you back to people that God has removed from your life. This is a very common thing and I think we don’t discuss this enough. It’s okay to miss someone who was once a part of your life. However missing them doesn’t mean you go back. When God removes somebody from your life he’s heard and seen things you haven’t so trust him.I also had a healing convo with my dad. I was teaching him how to say sorry. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for an African parent to apologize 😂Enjoy listening Love and light

In this episode I discuss how opening up to my mom led to us healing our somewhat fractured relationship. I had a conversation with my mum about her parenting We were both vulnerable and there was a lot of honesty and comprehension She opened up about her parenting and explained that she came from a place of love.This conversation was everything I never knew needed.The convo also reminded me that communication really is key Enjoy listening Love and light

At some point, we all feel that pull, the desire to step out of our parents’ house and into a space we can finally call our own. In this episode, I reflect on the beauty of independence and the challenges that come with it.There’s a certain kind of magic in creating your own space and building your life from the ground up. There are so many important things I’ve learned from moving out (especially financial discipline) and why it can be one of the most empowering decisions you’ll ever make, when the time is right of course Enjoy listening Love and light Ri

Gods strongest soldier ? I’m sure you have been on that list at some point. Maybe even consecutively.Sucks I know but it strengthens you.If you’re similar to me and have topped that list quiet a number of times you’ll attest to the fact that you can actually develop PTSD.It’s difficult to re wire your brain to enjoy the good things after constantly going through innumerable hurdles.In this episode I dive into how being on that list induced a lot of anxiety and also the active steps I’m taking in order to heal from the PTSDAlso how long do you take to heal from a heartbreak ? Are you like me who takes a million years or you’ll heal in your next relationship or in heaven ? Lmao I hope you enjoy this episode.Easily one of my faves. I really relished recording it for you guys.Love and light Maria

Isolation if you’re like me is important, especially if you use that time to seek God and hear what he’s been/ is trying to tell you..The last two weeks have involved some isolation and I’ll explain what God has revealed to me.I won’t get into the intricacies of this episode.More than anything I just want you to listen Love and light Maria Also somewhere between 4:50_04:57Please Forgive my error.

In this episode, we take a hard look at the infamous black tax; the unspoken obligation that often keeps many in our communities from truly moving forward, the cultural expectation that can quietly drain our resources and stall our dreams.While the dream is to build generational wealth and create opportunities for the next generation, the constant financial pull backwards can derail even the best-laid plans. Let’s unpack why this cycle exists, the toll it takes, and how we can start rewriting the narrative.Love and light Maria

Hey everyone, just dropping in with a quick life update! In this episode I’m speaking about how I prayed back in 2022 for my job and now, in 2025, I actually have the job. I also share what it felt like getting exactly what you prayed for and how social media can sometimes make things look way glossier than they really are-because no one sees the struggle behind the scenes. Also the waiting season I went through, (still going through btw) stepping out of my comfort zone, and all the little things happening in my life right now.Just wanted to keep you all in the loop!Love and Light Ri

Hey EveryoneI’m back like I never left.Today I’m diving a little deeper into my waiting season. Not the easiest season but I’m trusting God. If you’re waiting on God for something, please keep the faith. Isaiah 60:22 Also everyone’s getting married.. We’ve really reached that age. Scary, but aging is a beautiful thing.Marriage is a gift from God and it’s a forever thing. Pick your life partners wisely ☺️

In this episode, I take a quiet pause to reflect on the days leading up to my birthday—and the ones that followed. From the chaos of past celebrations to the calm I’ve finally found within, I talk about how the years have shaped me, how growth has softened me, and how peace has slowly become my new normal. It’s not just about getting older; it’s about evolving, letting go, learning, and embracing the woman I’m becoming—flaws, faith, softness and all.If you’ve ever felt a shift around your birthday—the good, the uncertain, or the deeply reflective—you’ll feel right at home in this one.Love and light Maria

Mark 11:25 “Forgive anyone you’re holding a grudge against so that your father in heaven may forgive you too”We’ve all been hurt, some things seem unforgivable but for the sake of PEACE in your heart. FORGIVE Unforgiveness will force you to act out of character. You’ll be plotting and holding all these grudges all because you haven’t forgiven someone. It’s not worth it. Forgive and forget. I know it’s easier said than done, but FORGIVE. Remember revenge is for the Lord. (Romans 12:19)
