Whole 'n' Some

Happy listening friends...and happy new month (June babies heloooo!)

Taking stock and how life has been lifing lately. Would be happy to hear from you as well actually :)

Is it a test or an opportunity? Indulge to explore this perspective with me on this episode.

Love.

On this short and sweet episode, I talk about the journey of healimg and how, subconsciously, our brokenness, can become our identity.

Love.

Cue Sauti Sol's "Insecure", and let's get talking....

In Bronnie Wares book "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying", the most common regret was "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself; not the life others expected of me."

Let's talk about that.

Love is often calling from different directions, we just aren't keen enough to listen. This episode isn't so much about romantic love but I promise, the title is befitting :)

The unsettling feeling you get about something....?You need to think about what its really there to tell you..

In (belated) honor of international women's day, here are my favorite things about womanhood.

I have grown to see friendship from an interesting perspective - as being a solid foundation from which to go about relationships in our lives without misconstruing our place in people's lives of dealing with unmet unrealistic expectations. Honestly, this one felt like a rumble. I genuinely found it difficult to express in words what I understand in my mind. So I'm really hoping to hear your thoughts on this one so I can piece it together even better.

Happy listening :)

5 months since my *temporary* relocation. Here's a little nitty-gritty reflection on how that's been..

Enjoy!

I think this episode smoothly piggybacks on the previous episode. Hence, I highly recommend listening to episode 31 if you haven't.

Thank you for being here:)

Do you ever find yourself fixated too much on goals, outcomes, or how things could be better?

We share plenty a time about being in the present and today I would say the biggest take out from this is that, its a marathon, not a sprint....and we just need to chiiiil a little more :)

Enjoy!

Hoping you enjoyed your Chrismas weekend! Here's to another long one as we usher in the new year.

Just sharing with you a new way around setting resolutions on this one....

Enjoy:)

Lowkey rant. A gentle reminder..

There is lots of magic existing for you...just needs a little space :)

It's a rather busy time in my life right now but I just wanted to make sure to leave you with something all the same.

Happy holidays if youre listening in real time!

Some thoughts on approaching life from a stance of curiosity....

Enjoy:)

This new concept randomly landed on my mind to basically commentarize my Twitter life, lol!

It's a different social media experience there so...lets see if you enjoy listening to me share my thoughts on other people's thoughts!Haha. If you enjoy it, share it :)

As a slow decision maker, I find it fascinating when people are so sure about especially the major life decisions.

Enjoy the pod and please share your thoughts with me :)

This article (https://hbr.org/2015/01/the-authenticity-paradox) that I read as part of my Leadership Module in school is the main inspiration for this episode. You can read it at your time :)

As always, I really hope you enjoy this episode!

As life ebbs and flows sometimes the best you have to rely on during a dark season is the joys and highs of the sunny ones. Do we have ability to build emotional and psychological reserves? 

This episode is dedicated to "change" .... 

Faced a big one recently, and picked a couple of nuggets from the experience.

Otherwise? Mko poa?

You're here for part 2 and that's sooo cool!

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season Two!

I'm delighted to start this season celebrating 26 years of my life with 26 tenets; just stuff I've picked up or learnt along my life journey. They're really just random..:)

Enjoy!!

"But hope that is seen is not hope at all..."

I really love talking with my brother and so it was definitely in the plan to land the "Roaming Mic" on him sooner rather than later...And it was everything I imagined it'd be and more!

He is such an amazing conversationalist nd what I thought would simply be catching a vibe with him ended up being a spiritual class and wooooah...

Just listen in...enjoy!

I'm so glad you're here, as always!

On this episode, we talk friendships...specifically the vices that can threaten healthy friendships.

Enjoy!

Self love from a different angle.

Happy listening:)

This episode is drawn from a deeply insightful conversation I had with a friend of mine recently on the meaning of things on the spiritual spectrum. I share bits of the conversation, basically to wrack your brain, lol...but I also share my greatest derivation from this conversation which had me desiring from a very deep place, to make the best of my life.

Enjoy the episode and remember to follow :) @karwirwalaura @wholensome_

I had the random idea of sharing some of my unpopular opinions with y'all.

Some are light-hearted, others deep, others sensitive...but it's all sharing for sharing sake and I'd really love to hear yours too!

I had an insightful convo with my fitness coach that I think y'all can learn a lot from. We talk fitness basics, misconceptions, disciplines and so much more...

Enjoy this one!

Deriving from my conversation with Wamz last week, I thought to talk on this topic that I have heard with many people in my life - " I found God when I left the church". I resonate. Hence, in this episode, I share my personal experience on this...

I'd love to hear your stories though, because I know this experience is different for everyone. Kindly send me a short voice note with your story on 0110682394 and I'll hopefully share in coming episodes.

Love!

This is probably my best episode yet! As a first of the roaming mic edition, I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Wamaitha Karanja - a strong, beautiful lady wrapped in a cute 4"11 package, lol. We talk everything from raising her daughter (her little best friend), to our defiance against pre-marital norms & teachings especially in the church, the impact of illness on mental health, self confidence & relationships and much....much more.

Wamaitha has a powerful story, from close people in her life battling with cancer, divorce after 4 years of marriage & struggling with illness as well, that began with being diagnosed with a desmoid tumor & granted 6 months to live. She has fought through a lot, which sure explains her unapologetic zeal for life!

I know you're gonna enjoy this one :) 

Recently, I got into ruminating on some deep thoughts as I battled indecision in a particular area of my life. I realized that I was indecisive mainly because I was pre-empting future dissatisfaction. Ever had that thought like, "what if one day this thing doesn't make me happy anymore?"

Firstly, it's not on other people or other things to MAKE us happy. Happiness is personal responsibility. And also, pleasure isn't the prerequisite for happiness. On this episode I rumble out my thoughts on this idea.

Happy listening, friend.

I'm happy to share my financial experience, for the first half of my twenties. Hoping you get to pick up a couple of money nuggets that you can incorporate into your financial life. I long to hear your feedback on this one and pick a couple of nuggets from you as well coz there is sure lots to learn on this.

Enjoy!

Probably your perfect pick-me-up kind of episode *wink*. To remind you, that life is for the living!

Enjoy!

Happy you're here :)

On this episode we unpack self-betrayal - how it shows up and how to maneuver it.

Enjoy!

Heyyaaa!

I'm over the moon that you're here! This episode is simply an introductory episode. A little about me and about this podcast.

Happy listening!
