Life With Chay

I'm so emotional in a good way. I have had a rollecoster situation with Uni and I'm finally graduating 🎓 . Saying goodbye to the podcast, i cant express how this journey has been so good to me,sharing what i love,even if i overshare sometimes but I got to do it because i wanted to, my confidence has grown and i want to try other creative endeavours. Grateful for you 💛. I love you and I'm proud of me. Onwards. Still active on Instagram

In this episode, i'm reminiscing on where my thoughts last year wondering how my career will look like because i was actively looking for a job, how it has been getting a job to leaving unceremoniously, being burnt out because the job literally made me unwell and moving forward, i want a job i enjoy. I'm still figuring it out. Enjoy the chat 😀 🤍

So actually i did a taking stock on 2020. Its episode #28 on the podcast. This has been a fun ride with a lot of firsts. Learning and becoming more of myself. As am saying goodbye to the pod,i will still create content through video on tiktok and reels hopefully 🙏. Keep up with me on Instagram @lifewithchay

Something i know for sure other than God's goodness. Journaling has really changed my life literally, remembering when i was very overwhelmed, i needed a way to process my thoughts and i found one. It gave my a way into my life. I don't do it everyday but i record bits and pieces of my life which is enough Journaling blogpost : https://chaygirl.wordpress.com/2019/01/12/journaling-to-get-clear-on-self-doubt-my-process/ Second post beginners guide: https://chaygirl.wordpress.com/2018/04/26/journaling-beginners-guide/

A natural hair enthusiast, blogger, and my friend joined me today on the podcast to chat about relationships, I had so much fun and it was my first time interviewing so exciting!! follow her on Instagram @afromapenzi

Periods??cramps??birth control . If possible go get your pap smear ladies.

Late night ramble. Talking about work life struggles. You can get a job but is it good? How do we build a career that we enjoy? Many questions I'm trying to figure it out myself

How time flies!! Last year i had a life changing heartbreak no kidding. It changed me for the better truly. I miss some aspects of that relationship but it made me who i am. I learnt to be honest, understand that people's behaviour and/or actions is not a reflection of my worth. I am both good and bad and loveable and worthy. It was fun reminiscing.

I discovered i want to be a storyteller. It gives me so much joy but i still get roadblocks. I haven't written since quarantine but i know the joy it gives me. Also no one is going to push me to follow my dreams its my responsibility. There is freedom in that. Are you chasing your dreams?

Catching up on life and where i have been. Saying goodbye but we will hang out some more before It's adios for good. I appreciate your time truly ❤. You can always leave feedback and also come back so we can hang out for the next couple of episodes.

Join me in this episode as I share my thoughts on making money, building a business you love *Is entrepreneurship for everyone? *Can we actually live life and build a business we love? Am still learning how to think about money, build a business I love and being financially independent. After recording this episode I have spent my time listening to Npr's life kit episodes about money and also coincidentally my good friend recommended a financial book which I cant wait to get my hands on pretty soon. It's called get good with money by Tiffany Aliche if you also want to read along, thanks, Vanesa. xo Anyway, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to money, you have to decide if you have a limiting mindset and find ways to fix that. This is just my opinion and thoughts. Still learning and will share as I go along.Love you all so much and I appreciate your time

The plan was a book club but life happens and we make due. Join me in this episode as I chat about my lessons and reflection on this amazing book, I really loved it and highly recommend it. I had so much fun while editing this podcast, the first part was recorded this year, the last one last year, those two gals were very different. Let me know if you can spot the accent difference and also my state of mind was so different when I recorded the last part. Hope you are having a beautiful day wherever you are and smile today. all the love. xo Chay  The podcast now has a website that makes it easy for you to leave me a comment if you don't want to leave your voice message https://lifewithchay.wordpress.com/ She cute and minimalistic check it out. see yah

So these days I actually don't find sleep before 2 am, thought would share this story on my journey with faith my struggle, and the path am on right now. I still don't have all the answers but am trying to do the best I can following what feels right and deciding intentionally what I want to believe and who God is for me, this journey felt scary, to say the least, because I felt wrong not believing what I have known for so long, questioning and not finding answers. At the end of the day, we are all doing our best and you have to do right by yourself. I gave myself space to be on my disbelief journey, I searched for my answers, I was open to other beliefs and circled back to what I believed since childhood because that's what feels right for me. I hope in regards to faith you have found what feels right. I don't have all the answers but I have some and am good with that

I recently turned 24 on March 7th. I had this plan to record a podcast and release the podcast on the lessons at least that week, but life happened, was unwell, and just wanted to chill but am back now, trying to fix my recording situation so this is a live session of me talking through my lessons, I wrote a while back. Am so grateful for each and everyone who listens to my thoughts and what am passionate about, words can't express my gratitude. For this platform and your time. Thank you so much. All the love.  hope you are subscribed to be notified of my next episode, but hopefully its next Thursday

After being in school from kindergarten to campus, leaving school for the first time, this new chapter comes with its new challenges, to finding careers and life partners. Did the school system sell us a lie that we just need to work hard in school then we will be set for life? how do we adapt though?

To be honest, this episode has been so personal one. I had to delete some parts to avoid exposing myself too much.

Am new at all this and am willing to work at it. Let's continue the conversation on insta@lifewithchay
