Omotayo’s Lullabies

Can you love someone deeply and still know you aren’t good for each other? Tonight, we’re talking about love, timing, compatibility, and the difficult truth that sometimes love alone isn’t enough. Let’s have a good night chat just before bed. 😊

Tonight’s a little wake up call to remind us all that we need to have faith in ourselves too. We have faith in God, people we trust but have so little in ourselves because we somehow believe we’re not good enough and that draws us back or keep us in a situation longer than necessary. A good amount of faith in oneself could just be enough to move.

In this episode of Omotayo’s Lullabies, titled “What is life without dreams?” I talk about dreaming, working towards those dreams and still finding meaning even when things don’t happen exactly the way we planned. Sometimes we don’t get the exact thing we hoped for, but that doesn’t mean we failed. Along the way, something else can come alive. I also reflect on finally winning The Next Big Podcast...

Maybe it’s time to stop waiting for someday

There are things we only discover because life puts us in certain situations. A new environment brings out a side of us we never knew existed.

So tonight, the conversation can revolve around this question: How...

More than anything, this episode is about returning to the stories, the co...
