ValidThoughts Podcast

On today's episode of ValidThoughts, I finally share my second recording with Nneka that I promised to release ages ago. We talk about growing up in Ebonyi State and how meeting people from other parts of Nigeria contributed to her wanting to experience the world on her own terms. 

I know it´s been a hot minute I´ve been gone. I also can´t promise to be back regularly anytime soon. Life has taking over but be sure to hear my voice once in a while. Thank you to everyone that listens to the podcast and supports us always. 

Today's episode is unique because it's the first time someone reached out to us at ValidThoughts after listening to one of our episodes. We speak about dating as a "plus-size woman" in Nigeria. Kathy shares how she navigates her everyday life and how her sexual experiences are highly influenced by society's pressure on women. I am very thankful to Kathy for sharing her unique experience with us.

On today´s episode of ValidThoughts, I spoke to Funmi Oyatogun about many things, including exploring the world, starting a travel company, climbing Nigeria´s highest mountain and, of course, we speak about Mount Kilimanjaro.

This podcast brings so much excitement into my mundane everyday life. I hope it does the same for you too. This episode would also have needed an introduction which I would have had to record as part of post-production but we will be all be alright as I don't have energy like that. 

I spoke to Femi about traveling, his discipline (which I very much admire) and his travel journey. We also spoke about his approach to the healthy living. Enjoy with me as I listen to Femi speak about the childhood I would have want to live.
