Adulting with Jessica

Hello my loves... I'll be taking a Break from recording for a while to focus my energy and time on this new chapter of my life. Not a Goodbye, but a much needed See you later 😄

I finally moved out of my Mother's house...like properly moving out, not a temporary move.

How are you feeling about this New Year?

From the Eviction Notice 2 years ago, to the Resignation Letter this year, it has been one hell of an Adulting ride. And now we start over, again.

Shall we talk about what your sex life looks like as you move from your early to mid to late twenties? What does navigating your sex like look like as a Young Adult?

My Valentine’s day message to you. A little self-love every day goes a long way. Take this year, being the year of change and reflection, as the moment you do some reflection on the relationship with yourself and assess how much you invest in yourself, and measure it against how much you invest in others- could be partners or friends. And if your investments in others in more than what you put int...

A close to the Reflections and Resolutions episode! It's important to not only manifest and plan your career and professional life, your love life and relationships too. And I mean Self Love here, because the rest of it cannot fall into peace and positivity if you haven't sorted your relationship with yourself. Its time to be happy, free, and positive, and so do the work to take care of yourself,...

It is January y'all! Time to bring out those new diaries and notebooks, or dust off some old ones, reflect and set some new goals for this year.

I want to talk about violence, specifically emotional violence. Trigger warning: In this episode, I will talk about and give examples of violence, especially as experienced as young people, and I am aware that any conversation around this particular topic has triggering effects and so it is completely alright if you decide to not listen to this episode.

3 Years to Thirty and the pressure is pressuring lol. Everyone seems to be getting married and then there's you, still single and just trying to figure it out, and that's okay, right?  In this episode, I wanted to start talking about that. Hope you enjoy, and leave me a comment

A little more into this peak adulting stage, when the burnouts are frequent, and you can barely tell the difference between normal days and when the depression sets in, but either way, you still gotta go on.

It is known, that with every self-betterment journey, there are...trials, these demonic vibes, perils perhaps, that threaten your sanity and your growth. Among these perils, is this ancient slut shaming phenomenon, often starting from the "What is your body count" question. Mad That, is what I wanted to share and start talking about in this episode. Enjoy, and comment.

In this special episode, I had quite the conversation with Umba and Lusungu of Feministing While Malawian. Absolutely loved the lighthearted conversation full of much needed laughs, some wisdom and advice and gentle reminders that you are doing great, Enjoy!

It's been a busy few weeks since the last episode. Life has been great, hiccups here and there but progress is happening, yeay! I wanted to share a little life update before the next episode which will be a collaboration with .......(drumroll please) "Feministing While Malawian." This next episode, we will be talking about "Adulting...as a Feminist, as Lusungu, as Umba, and as Jessica, looking at...

Happy New Year Loves! It's that time to set your goals and plan for the year. So much happened in 2021, and 2022 is the chance to do more, be more, do better and be better. Catch me and my love, Goitseone as we recap last year, talk about what we'd like to continue doing, what we are letting go of, and what we want to try. Tune in, Enjoy and Join the conversation.

Super excited for all the conversations I'll be having this year on "Adulting with Jessica". I have some exciting plans and amazing friends I'll be hosting. So please do join me and share your thoughts on our conversations.  XOXO Jess.

#ItisWhatitIs was the anthem in this episode as myself and Betty dove right into our experience so far as Young single Mothers. We got very comfortable talking through telling our parents we were pregnant, our relationships with our "Baby Daddies" and finally what to do to heal and move on, and especially put ourselves first for the sake of our kids and our mental health. Hope you enjoy!

Dating is a mess on its own, add being a single mom in the mix and it becomes an even more complicated mess. Join me and Mbumba as we start the conversation on being a young single mom, post-partum depression, and dating- what to expect, and well, trying to be a human being again after you have your baby.

What does Dating look like when you start Adulting and Dating. And what about sex? Does your social life look the same?

My Landlord asked me to move out in the middle of the month.
