Banter and Chill

2022 is coming to an end and almost everyone is taking inventory of their year while making plans toward goals for 2023, impressive sturv actually. Pause! One thing you always skip is shedding all that misogyny you carry around with you. Before you start to tussle with me, some of you are not guilty while the rest of you... Oh, I am definitely judging. It's the last episode for the year so trust m...

Toxic relationships... You've either been in one, know someone who has or just heard about them. There is one question that stands out though, why do people struggle to leave? On today's episode of the pod, I give you four reasons why.  Listen and let me know if you learned anything new🫶

Have I ever told you I write? Well on some days when I am not too lazy, I actually come up with pretty interesting stories. For this new episode, I am gracing your ears with a reading of one of my short stories. I ask again, have I ever told you I write? Well, you can listen for yourself and let me know if I'm good at it.

The plan was to have a stable career by 25, earning 6 figures and married with a house and like one child. I feel like almost all of us had those plans, but life happened, and we grew up.  When life happens to you, the line between work and personal life can be blurred. You do not know where one starts and the other ends. In this new episode, Ini baby analyses work-life balance and how to nai...

The last time, the focus was on listening skills. This time around, let us analyze Speaking skills! In the words of Bobrisky "some of you, your mouth is too loose!". Did he/she lie? No! The problem is not that you talk a lot, the problem is you don't know how to talk. By default, most of us can speak but how do you convey your thoughts/opinions? If you fail at speaking, there will be gaps in commu...

It is a human thing to want to be heard, but do we grant people that same grace? When having a conversation, do you hear what is being said to you? beyond hearing, do you actively listen? do you actually comprehend what you listened to? In as much as hearing is something most people can do by design, listening has to be practiced with intent. In this particular episode, Ini baby discusses the DOs...

Why is there such a stigma attached to not getting it right the first time? or the second time? or even the third time. We glamourize starting strong and finishing gracefully but when will we have conversations about failing? about having to go back to the drawing board? about having to try again? In this episode of Banter and Chill, Ini baby analyses the importance of taking breaks and pausing if...

Do you believe the rod of correction is what it would take to make your child straight? Or do you believe dialogue is the way while they figure out their sexuality? In this episode of Banter and Chill, join Ini baby and a host of others as we share our opinions on questions surrounding children and the topic of sexuality.

Have you ever been going through anything and someone tells you, "there is light at the end of the tunnel"? I can relate to how much you feel like rolling your eyes at that statement. There's too much emphasis on the light at the end of the tunnel and very little emphasis on how you cope in the tunnel. In the new episode of the Banter and Chill podcast, I give my own tested and tried (aka amateur)...

Are you your baby's baby or should I mind my business? But, would it really be a podcast without unsolicited opinions? In this episode, I talk about one-sided relationships, red flags, and the signs that you are about to see shege with that your favorite person. Listen and enjoy.

Some things are better left unsaid but what if you do need to say them? We all have those conversations that we avoid and put off until the very last minute when things are starting to really go bad. Just in case no one ever told you, leaving things unsaid does not always make you the bigger person. Sometimes, all it does is make your chest swell like garri from holding in all the anger and hurt....

When life gives you lemons, you gather them and proclaim yourself a pro on all things lemon! For my first three episodes, I am doing something similar to this. I have reminisced on the past 22 years of my life and put together 22 things I have learned. You really cannot do this life thing for 22 years and not call yourself an expert at it.
