Chik Chat

What if I told you me and Snejana manifested our way into each other's lives? Our story is an incredibly random one but one that shows the importance of mindset and manifestation. Whilst Snejana was looking to get into an agency, I was looking to hire someone who understood social media. One TikTok later and here we are growing the agency together, manifesting our future and even having tarot sess...

Social media gets a bad rep but what if I told you that it helped save my mental health? Ironically I missed mental health awareness day this month because I was trying to unplug from socials over my birthday and I do believe it’s important to always keep in mind our mental health as we live with it day to day whether it’s good or bad so in todays episode of the Chik Chat podcast, I’m sharing a bi...

Around my 29th birthday, I made a list of 30 things I wanted to do before I was 30. Although I didn’t complete all of the tasks I did get my ears pierced after we recorded this and I have done more in the last year than I thought! In case you watch and wonder if G is still in my bad books after the end? Sort of - he’s lucky he’s so good at gift-giving and has already made my birthday one to rememb...

Who would have thought the healing journey after therapy would lead to a load of guilt thanks to societal norms? As my business grows and I discuss the future with G, we keep coming up with ideas that end up leaving me feeling so guilty. I don’t have anyone to look up to who is a female breadwinner by choice with a house husband - I often have to remind myself I have a choice and in this life, I’m...

This week I am celebrating me for being booked and busy!! However… being booked and busy means that I have no choice but to pivot if I am going to avoid burnout. In this week's episode of the Chik Chat podcast, I talk about some of the feelings of guilt and failure that have come with where I currently am in business and how I’m tackling it.

This week on the Chik Chat podcast, I discuss how  I found myself caught up in a fascinating debate about black women's hair and interracial relationships. It got me thinking about the incredible black women I know across the UK that are family/friends and how exhausting it can be trying to find your way.  Let's be real though, some folks seriously need to mind their own business! Join m...

In this classic episode, I introduce you to Josh Keegan, the lifestyle entrepreneur! I met Josh through one of my clients when I started working on his personal brand and content. I quickly realised we were similar in such random ways - as a financial wizard, a nomad (this year), a present dad, AND a present partner, he takes being a lifestyle entrepreneur to inspiring heights for me. In this podc...

For a long time, I was angry about having to deal with and heal from issues that weren’t my fault and if I’m being honest, I got caught up in being the victim. It recently dawned on me that whether I like it or not, my strengths come from some terrible situations and that’s exactly how I’m building a brand and businesses that are so authentically me, they’re drawing in the right types of clients a...

A year ago I nearly cancelled on meeting what would be a man I love and adore beyond expression. My road to ending a long-term relationship and getting back to dating was hard for many reasons such as feeling like I was running out of time or like I’d made a mistake but ultimately, I was just opening the door for more of what I thought I’d lost. In this episode of the Chik Chat podcast, I talk abo...

Food is more than just taste to me. It's a reflection of culture, love, and stories colliding. Most people are shocked when they hear that my dad, brother, and G are the chefs in our households and honestly, the conversations it starts can be interesting.  As I start to marry my love of food with the podcast and roots, I chat to G about what food has meant to us as we’ve been introduced to ea...

In this week’s episode of the Chik Chat Podcast, I am joined by G to announce some very exciting news! Without spoiling too much, all I’ll say is that we’re really excited about what’s to come personally and professionally for us both - it’s certainly not where either of us thought we were going to be a year ago however, it’s exciting that you get to come along for the ride.

Recently I’ve found myself having conversations with friends, family, and clients about finding your purpose, about how tired everyone seems to be feeling, and the fact that in a capitalist world where we don’t seem to have too much control over what’s going on, it is really hard to follow your passions and turn that into something that makes you want to get up in the morning. So in this week's ep...

In this week's episode of the Chik Chat podcast, I talk about the realities and challenges I face as a black female entrepreneur AND content creator.  I’ve made it a point to not have my business or content solely focus on my race or gender but I pride myself on being open about my work and business.

In this week's episode of the Chik Chat Podcast I am joined by my not-so-little brother, my best friend and trauma buddy.  I’m lucky enough to have a sibling that is my best friend and it has honestly saved me and my mental health in more ways than one.  This man motivates, pushes, and isn’t afraid to tell me how it is. I can only hope if I have kids one day, they will support each other...

In this week's episode of the Chik Chat Podcast, I talk about what it’s like healing whilst in a relationship and how a simple conversation about communicating my needs triggered me.  My therapy journey and how much I’ve grown sometimes makes me feel like I’ve done so much work I can face any situation but no matter how much work I’ve done personally, being in a healthy relationship has taugh...

In this week's episode I talk about mental health - how do you explain depression to someone who doesn’t get it? I talk very openly about my mental health journey but it’s still something I still really struggle with. It affects my life, business, and friendships - although I have found great ways through it, I do understand that there are still many sceptics out there and also people that don’t a...
