Bonus Ep: Personal lessons from Humans Of New York + Audio journaling my thoughts here
Phew! I came across a story on the 'Humans Of New York' page on Instagram and I decided to find out who the founder of that awesome platform is. When I tell you discovering Brandon Stanton's journey and story encouraged me, you'll probably not understand fully. This podcast has over time become a safe place for me to share my deepest thoughts and sometimes, rant and I am so grateful for that. As you click the play button, for the next ten minutes or so, you'll be listening to my thoughts. I call this audio journaling so I hope you kinda enjoy it I guess?
If you have any thoughts on this bonus episode of my audio journaling, please drop me a voice message through any of these links: https://anchor.fm/viola-the-radio-nerd/message or www.podpage.com/calm-down-podcast. Your voice message will be featured in a subsequent episode of this podcast. I look forward to listening to it honestly!

Ep 50: Breast ironed at a very young age ft. Ayomide Aremu
Ayomide's breasts were ironed at a very young age which according to the mother, was to ward off men from abusing her by creating an illusion her breasts weren't fully developed like 'that of an adult. It's so sad that these practices are still carried out in this 21st century. I also shared my friend's experience undergoing breast ironing at a young age as well. I'd love to listen to your thoughts on Ayomide's story. Please drop a voice message through any of these links: https://anchor.fm/viola-the-radio-nerd/message or www.podpage.com/calm-down-podcast.

Ep 47: Transitioning out of the NFL + choosing to be real in a world full of fakes ft. Sam Acho
Sam Acho who is an NFL player, writer, public speaker and humanitarian shared his journey of currently transitioning out of the NFL, choosing to be more intentional and purposeful in his personal life journey and how realizing that God loves him regardless is changing the course of his life. This is one story I love so much because of how it highlights a particular phase we all go through but rarely talk about: TRANSITION. This phase can be uncomfortable and challenging but is definitely worth it if done the right way according to Godly values. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this story.

Ep 39: #hiswordforyou - Don't forget to thank God for those things you prayed for when they manifest
Remember those things you've been believing God for, for a long time? Do you recall they've already been answered? Okay, life went by so quickly but the last time you remembered, did you at least pause to take it all in and express your gratitude to God even if it was just 10 minutes of meditation and reflecting back to how faithful he has been. This episode is a reminder that God still appreciates gratitude and most times we don't need to do the most to say thank you to him. A grateful heart is a happy heart.

Ep 27: Career choice frustration by parents + Spending 7 years in Uni studying a 5-year course
This episode was quite emotional for me because most African young people can relate to this some way. Our Feature for 'Stories Around The World' in this episode who pleaded anonymity shared what he went through spending 7 years in University studying a 5-year course because the grand-parents (Current guardian) wanted everybody in the family to either be a doctor or an engineer. He also shared how his cousins and siblings went through the same ordeal in the hands of the guardian.

Most young people do not reach out to ask for financial help from their parents or loved ones because they believe it will portray them as a weak person.

Ep 7: Surviving Viral Encephalitis at 18 + Lessons Learnt
I was diagnosed of Viral Encephalitis which is an inflammation of the brain when i was 18. I had very slim chances of survival and was hospitalized for a month plus. I was also unconscious most times and on oxygen. This disease happens one in 1 out of 2000 ailments. I'm sharing this part of my journey to encourage you that everything works together for your good. I share how i was able to navigate through it and how the faith of Jesus kept me. I hope this uplifts your spirit and constantly reminds you that you are not alone.

Ep 6: Purpose Discovery Is A Process That Never Ends
In the Issues Segment of this episode, we understand that discovering your purpose shouldn't be something you bother about because it comes in different dimensions. Our pains are struggles are also part of our purpose discovery process which never ends even when we leave this world.
A member of the community just shared a testimony of how Episode 5 where i explained why we should go with flow encouraged and resonated so much with her as she almost committed suicide last year (2019) . This was for the Reality Check Segment
In the Common Sense Rule Segment, i rant and also talk about people that have the habit of always straining their necks to see what you're doing on your phone when sitting beside you. There are also people that when you show them a picture/meme you came across while scrolling on social media, they collect the phone and continue to scroll. Sooo annoying! Lol!
