Mercy’s Spot The Podcast

I'm shaking in my boots! There's nothing more traumatic (after healing wounds you didn't create lol) than doing it scared! Tune in as I take a moment to divulge the reality that comes with choosing LIFE. Because once you choose better, life becomes more than just cute journals and affirmations, it bottles down to the moment where you have to start...oh and did I mention I thought being born again,...

It's a new season, years ago (2021!) you guys knew my podcast as JAAW (Just another African woman) then it became Sunday Vibez with Queen M now here we are: Mercy's Spot. The meaning behind this rebrand is very intimate and personal but let's get into it t...

Why can’t we just bloom where we are planted or better yet go where we are watered! Oh I wish it were that easy to navigate the nuances of life. More often than not we’re a victim of circumstance and sometimes of lack within self… let’s navigate the reality of life in blunt honesty. Is it really that easy to do better… or better yet to find better? It is not everyday that we have the privilege to...

In this episode I’m dissecting imposter syndrome- what it is & what it isn’t too! As we get to understand this syndrome together I will also be sharing my 3 step formula which I believe helps combat this state of being. Tune in and enjoy!

Everytime I am reminded that I’m going on 30 soon I panic- cause listen how am I counted amongst the grownups🥴I barely know what I’m doing. Let’s talk about it- adulting is exhausting! You invest in your education only to be paid less than your rent- that time some people also have black tax. You have good intentions only to be hurt in these streets and wait a minute...medical aid, life insurance...

It is sad just how much of an affliction comparison has become. Today I’m going to focus on it from a different angle. Mostly comparison is referred to as the affliction that comes from being saddened by what others have that you do not. Yet rarely do we realize the endless days we waste whilst copying other people’s ways of doing life- be it business wise, religion or even in love. We sometimes b...

We open up about how a friendship can make or break you, we love...

Being single definitely has its pros and cons. Dating in the 21st century is like participating in the Olympics with no prior training lol. When you’re single you have time to discover yourself but no one addresses the cons like those sudden waves of loneliness and longing. It’s even getting more difficult to be happily single and still be searching at the same time- it’s becoming a pick a side re...

In the previous episode I spoke about how your potential can be recognized and still be taken for granted! In this episode I’ll be addressing how to safeguard your potential so that no one takes you for granted - not even Yourself! Every single space in which you place yourself in be it a friendship- relationship or work, whatever it may be: it MUST add value to your being. So let’s talk about how...

Just because you are valuable and worthy it does not mean that you’ll always be treated accordingly. It is vital for us to be weary of the relationships, situations and spaces that we place ourselves in. If you’re not careful you’ll enter a situation whole and be discarded and left feeling empty, worthless and and broken. It’s important to constantly work on yourself and to remain intentional in h...

Let’s address the issue that is becoming increasingly problematic, which is friendship dynamics. What makes a friendship unhealthy and in what ways do we contribute to the cycles we sometimes get stuck in

In life we often step into situations that make us question wether we’re too much or we’re not enough. If you don’t honestly answer these questions you run the risk of living in a victim mentality. So in this episode I address Healthy ways in which we can address these questions in a way that helps us grow and know what is for us and what is not for us.

It’s ridiculous how we ask for the mountains in our way to be removed when we’re the ones who are constantly placing them there. Perfomative Faith is not the same as Active Faith.

It seems that people feel it is okay to denounce other people’s relevance when they mess up. My question is according to whose narrative are we operating when we decide to nullify other people’s relevance? We forget so quickly how it won’t be long before we also make a mistake- denying others room for correction is just denying the same for yourself.

Start your day on a peaceful note. Have a quick gratitude check to remind you of your blessings. Then say some affirmations with me as we set the pace for your day! Let’s show up as our highest selves.

Let’s talk about how sometimes the love we’re raised on contributes to how we maneuver in the world. And how sometimes we may stand in the way of our own happiness just because we are living in survival mode.
