Let's Talk With Avah

There are days when being alone feels like the best decision you have ever made. No noise, no unnecessary conversations, no emotional stress, and no need to explain yourself to anyone. Your time is yours, your space is calm, and the silence feels like peace. Then there are other moments when that same silence starts to feel different. You suddenly notice how quiet your phone is, how nobody asked a...

Bleaching has entered secondary schools, and many students treat it like normal skincare. Uneven tones, damaged skin, and denial follow. In this episode, I share a recent encounter with a student who admired my dark skin while trying to lighten hers. We talk about the pressure behind bleaching, the health risks of harsh creams, and the role of parents, teachers, and communities. Natural skin deser...

This video talks about ideas people present as culture or societal rules even though they hold no real authority over your life. I left my reactions uncut because they reflect honest thought in real time and show how absurd some of these pressures sound when spoken out loud. You get the message and you also get my personality, unscripted and unfiltered

This episode addresses unsolicited marriage pressure and the entitlement behind questions and party expectations than genuine concern. The conversation breaks down why employment is not a marriage requirement and why silence remains the most useful contribution when prayer, support, or introductions are absent. The tone stays sarcastic, direct, and reflective, inviting laughter while forcing hones...

I've always found it hard to say NO and mean it. This is how far I've come in learning to have boundaries and stand my ground. I hope you enjoy this episode, it's more of a mini rant really but Enjoy 😊 😍

9½ times out of 10, I feel lonely, like I don't fit into anywhere. I've gotten used to it, but I definitely wasn't prepared to be the weirdo I was. Do I like it now? Absolutely. I'm originally me, but does it get tiring, mhmm mhmm... This is me, sharing my thoughts on loneliness. I'm not an expert on life, just figuring it out, one day at a time

Many times, I find myself wishing I didn't grow up. Other times, I find myself wishing I could go back in time, to undo some actions and decisions I made. I'm aware that the messy actions and decisions are parts of my current formation. They played a part in who I currently am. Am I proud of those actions and decisions? No! Hence, my wishing I could change them. However, messes are a core...

I certainly recorded and had every intention to upload, because the goal is consistency this year, unfortunately, life happened and I was so focused on being an ADULT, that I couldn't get around to indulging in my "hobby". Oopsie. I finally got around to doing it and decided my welcome back topic should be adulthood because let's be real, no one had hacked being an adult and if t...

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough or what people say about you (the good part) is not who you are? Same here. Sometimes, it's our fears talking and many times, we let it determine who we are, how we behave and what we can do. Here are my thoughts on this matter. 💭

Many a time, we struggle with being our authentic self because it doesn't fit into the aesthetics of society or social media (the two evils that causes us to struggle with being happy). We've been made to believe that the standard is perfection and nothing else, however how can we be perfect if we are imperfect? 🤔 These are my thoughts 💭

I find it more comfortable to beat myself up for things I can change and those I can't. It's very easy for ne to tear myself down before anyone can. I struggled with accepting that mistakes are human and I can only be robotic to an extent. Hence, I had to teach myself to give myself grace. Are you in the same shoes? Then this is for you.

I grew up having different voices telling me who and how to be. I tried conforming to all the voices and eventually lost myself in the process. Getting to find ME has been a process. I hear those voices and opposed to obeying all but I'm open to being me. I hope this episode resonates with you. Do let me know if it does. Thank you for hanging out with me in my little corner of the world. Love Alwa...

In this episode of Let's Talk with Avah, we’re digging into unrequited advice—that well-meaning but unsolicited wisdom we all love… to ignore.

In this episode of Let's Talk with Avah, we’re talking about second chances—when they’re worth it, and when it’s time to walk away. Relationships aren’t always easy, and sometimes we find ourselves giving people another shot because we value the connection. But are we holding on to something good, or just afraid of being alone? I’ll share my personal experiences of giving second chances, when it p...

In this episode of Let's Talk with Avah, we’re diving into the tricky world of nicknames and when they go from fun to uncomfortable. It all started with a joke between friends, but when the entire group jumped on the 'Mosquito' bandwagon, it didn’t feel so funny anymore. Sound familiar? Join me as I explore how context, boundaries, and a little self-respect play a huge role in navigating relations...

We've all been there – you're dressed, ready to go, but of course, you're left waiting… again 🥲. Ugh! In this episode of "Let's Talk with Avah," I'm spilling the tea on how being kept waiting has pushed my patience to the edge (and maybe over it a few times, lol). 😂 From that one friend who’s always late to the awkward moments when you're just standing there like a statue, we’re talking all the...

This was a tough topic to talk about because I felt I didn't know what I was talking about, however, I spoke about it because it is important to me and maybe to you. This economy is taking it's toll on everyone except those who made the economy this way, but we must learn to enforce the saving culture regardless of how little it might seem. Yes its tough, but it is necessary. Also, I apolo...

As a young girl/lady (depending on how you view me), I've worked at a couple places and seen some things I think is wrong in the workplace. I just don't get why people ooze toxicity intentionally. In this episode, I talked about my experience with workplace toxicity and how I navigated through it (there were tears definitely). I'll love to hear back from you on your thoughts, if you&#3...

It's been 5 long months since I recorded a podcast. In this episode, I just gave a brief explanation on the reason. I might have rambled a lot and had a few difficulties with articulating my thoughts, but I hope it made sense to you and you understand why. This is the first podcast of many by God's grace. I am just so excited to be back. Hope to hear back from you soon. Enjoy!
