The Healing Power of Opening up your Feelings and Thoughts

- May 08, 2020

In my life i have experienced pain and hurt but not the way i felt recently when I lost my brother. I felt so hopeless, angry, sad and questioned a lot about life. I even doubted my faith. I could not understand why God would take someone so innocent and who was the anchor of the family. I could not bear the pain of seeing someone I looked up to, a person who was a father, brother, friend, cheerleader and my strength helplessly laying in that hospital bed and later on confirmed dead. I cried till i didnt have any drop left. For the first time in my life I was able to open up to people about exactly how I was feeling. In the past I was someone who felt the need to put on a brave face whenever i am going through a tough time. I used pretend that everything is okay when they are completely the opposite. Trying to be strong all the time caused me to think I had to figure out healing all by myself which led to further isolation, prolonged pain and despair. For the time i was able

Self acceptance

- April 26, 2020

One day my friend asked me what i would want God to do for me, just one thing. My response was so quick and i said,"Good skin". My friend was shocked because she thought i was going to say i wanted to be tall and have my arms. However that was not my priority because i have become so comfortable with myself that i even forget about my disability. Only one thing has gotten me to this level and that is SELF ACCEPTANCE. Self acceptance is the first step to your self development journey. According to Dr Tara Brach, author of Radical Self Acceptance , the feelings of shame and unworthiness are the source of many problems we experience with our relationships, careers, and social life. Self-acceptance is the ability to accept yourself as you are instead of how you wish you were. Its about accepting your strengths, weaknesses, flaws and all. Self-acceptance is the feeling of satisfaction with yourself despite your weaknesses and regardless

6 Business lessons I have learnt in the past 2 years

- November 14, 2019

Since i started my life coaching business there are things I have learnt and I want someone else to get a lesson or two. 1. Ideas do not come fully formed Don't wait till you have all the information, resources etc. All you need is your idea and everything will take shape. Start where you are with what you have. Ideas will come as you grow and gain experience. Entepreneuship is a journey. Do it afraid. Most people are hold back by fear but do it afraid anyway. When i started as a life coach i was a jack of all trades but as i grew in the business i found my niche and now i am a confidence coach. Even my logo was just basic but now its more colorful and meaningful to my goals and vision. #justdoit 2. You will think of quitting so many times They say start a business its worth it, i am yet to see the worth it part lol. When you start your business, you have so much energy and passion to serve. You feel like you will change the world but hunnay! reality will humble you

Positive body image in the 21st century

- November 05, 2019

"My curves are where they are meant to be and there is nothing shameful about that." Unknown People usually believe that people who suffer from eating disorders and body image issues are women. Very few would acknowledge that men suffer from such issues as well. There are certain standards that have been imposed on us by the society that really affect how we value ourselves. You dont have to be a model or media personality to know that as woman slim and toned is the ideal, and as a man big strong muscles and possibly a six pack are the idea. But always remember your body is just a packaging. And packages comes in different colors, shapes and sizes. Thats completely fine, that is what makes us special, different and unique. My whole teenage years i hated my body. I thought i wasn't beautiful enough. I was so embarassed about myself. I used think people were doing me a favor for hanging out with me because everything about me was a disgrace. I looked so different

Natural hair and wigs (women's month)

- February 28, 2019

Happy new month everyone. Personally I love the month of March because I get to celebrate what it means to be a woman, I get to connect with powerful, strong and phenomenal women. As I celebrate the women’s month, I want to discuss a topic which got me thinking for sometime now. It is quite a controversial (I think) and very interesting topic. The issue of African black women, their own hair and wearing wigs and weaves. This is how it all started; last year around May/June when my Barcroft tv documentary was out I received a lot of support and feedback from people all around the world. Thank you so much. If you have not watched the video, check it out here At some point I was on youtube checking the comments which was nerve wrecking for me but I had to because I wanted to see people’s feedback so I can plan ahead what people expected from me as a motivator. I came across a comment which I found interesting and it was along the lines of if I loved myself as I claimed why I was
