The TA Podcast with Tola Alabi

One of the most important human needs is the need for relationships — especially the right relationships. Many people desire meaningful relationships, but very few people truly know how to maximize them. In this podcast, I talk about understanding how to properly categorize the relationships in our lives and how to maximize them to get the best out of them. Not every relationship serves the same p...

What do you do after discovering your skill? In this episode, I talk about the three stages of skill development and why many people struggle when they jump straight from discovering a skill to building a business around it. I explore how skipping key stages can lead to fatigue, frustration, and disillusionment, and why growth requires more than just talent. If you’re intentional about discovering...

What is a promise, and why does it carry so much weight? In this podcast, I explore the unconscious ways we make promises without realizing it, how often we fail to keep them, and the lasting impact broken promises can have on a person’s esteem, trust, and psyche.

Teaching is a phenomenon, not a position. We lose confidence in our own in-built knowledge and sense of direction when we constantly see ourselves only as perpetual students, while assigning others the permanent role of teachers. In this podcast, I explore the nature of teaching, and why teaching and learning should never be confined to fixed groups of people. True teaching is fluid. It is a dynam...

Most people are not lost because they lack intelligence, but because they lack clarity — clarity about what they should be doing, who should be in their lives, and who they are becoming. In this episode, I talk about what I call “clarity of activity,” the importance of understanding your core internal leadings, and the five sets of people that influence your direction and shape your life.

In an era where distrust and apathy between men and women continue to rise at an alarming rate, this is one podcast episode you should not ignore.

In today’s world, productivity has become the measure of progress, and busyness is often mistaken for purpose. In this podcast, I talk about what true productivity really means, how we’ve drifted from God’s standard of fruitful living, and what truly matters when it comes to building a lasting legacy and making real progress in life.

In this episode, I explore the emotions we often try to avoid—boredom, loneliness, and restlessness—and uncover what they’re really trying to tell us. These feelings aren’t random; they’re signals. I break down why they show up, what they reveal about our inner state, and how you can use them as a compass to make wiser, more intentional decisions about your life, your work, and your relationships.

Indiscipline doesn’t just weaken you—it silences wisdom. In this podcast, I uncover how it creeps in, takes control, and gradually drowns out God’s voice. I share six ways it infiltrates our lives and redirects our path without us noticing.

Have I made the right decision? Am I truly on the right path? Could this all become a mistake? These are the questions that often haunt us as we move through life and face difficult decisions. In this podcast, I explore four essential guides every person needs to navigate life with clarity, wisdom, and conviction. When these four principles shape the direction of our lives, we gain the ability to...

Why do women often communicate more effectively than men? I’ve come to realize that this difference in communication styles has created a major disconnect between both genders. In this podcast, I explore how men can sharpen their communication skills through cadence, composure, confidence, and clarity.

In this episode, I explore the concept of safety and how a life that appears “safe” can slowly become smaller, restricted, and fear-driven. I discuss how trauma can create what I call a “what-if mindset” — a way of thinking where we become controlled more by the fear of what could happen than by what we have actually experienced. I unpack how this mindset limits growth, expression, and trust in Go...

In this podcast, I explore the intersection of masculinity, sexuality, and spirituality. I discuss how religion, over time, has reshaped and often distorted man’s understanding of his own sexuality, and how that distortion continues to affect identity, relationships, and society as a whole. This episode challenges deeply rooted ideas about masculinity and sexual desire, while examining the consequ...

Sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side, but the desire to explore “something better” can lead us into deeper bondage disguised as freedom. In this podcast episode, I talk about the importance of discernment — knowing where home truly is, and recognizing the places and people where we are genuinely loved, valued, and cared for.

In this episode, I tackle the controversial subjects of equality, double standards, and social optics. I explore the hidden dangers of absolute equality, why certain double standards exist, and how they can sometimes serve to maintain balance in society. I also discuss the importance of optics — why the perception of our actions matters just as much as our intentions, and why being conscious of ho...

In this episode, I break down why so many graphic designers struggle to make real money, and the uncomfortable truth about the industry: graphic design is not just visual, it’s intellectual. It’s about how well you think, and more importantly, how clearly you can express that thinking.

What does it really mean to “make it” in life? In this episode, I challenge common ideas of success, exploring work, fulfillment, and how our upbringing shapes what we chase. If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt pressured to live by someone else’s definition, this conversation will help you redefine success for yourself.

What does it really mean to be a man today? In this episode, I challenge the popular ideas around masculinity and strip them down to their core. I explore why society still needs men—and what kind of men it truly needs.

What really separates vice from virtue? What makes an action truly good—or quietly harmful? In this episode, I break down the key factor that defines the difference between right and wrong, beyond surface-level judgments. If you’ve ever struggled with making the right call in complex situations, this conversation will give you a clearer lens. This isn’t just theory—it’s a guide to thinking better,...

This is a recording of a podcast I was featured on called The Grow With Joe Podcast. Here I talk about spirituality, purpose and work.

In this episode, I break down sex, pregnancy, and marriage in a way most people don’t think about. We’ve treated these things like options—like luxuries we can take or leave—but they’re far more fundamental than that. I challenge the way we’ve come to see them, and why misunderstanding their place in our lives is costing us more than we realize. Whether you’re single, searching, or already married...

If you’ve ever wondered why something you believed in didn’t deliver the outcome you hoped for, it might not be the cause—it might be the level of commitment you brought to it. This is a conversation about showing up fully, staying the course, and understanding that the results we desire are often on the other side of complete, unwavering courage

Happiness might be the rarest resource in the world right now. In this episode, I explore how we slowly lose it—and the three forces that quietly compete with our sense of security, identity, and peace every single day.

We avoid pain, but what if that’s where growth lives? In this episode, I break down how bitter experiences refine us, reveal us, and shape us into who God designed us to be.

A lot of people are living by reduction—cutting back, holding tight, shrinking their lives… and calling it wisdom. But is that really how God teaches us to live? In this episode, we’re talking about the tension between trusting God as your source and managing life from a place of fear. Let’s get into it.
