Tings and Things
Tings and Things is hosted by Jonathan Mbaya and Simba Tsumba, two lifelong friends.

Coin Shortage 14.04.2022 41:38

Reassessing Self-Care 03.03.2022 1:03:06
Sometimes we feel like self-care is broken and to a certain extent, it is true. We constantly need to assess our self-care and ask if it is working for us. It is important to interrogate this to make sure that our self-care actually works for us. Let us unpack it.
It Just Fizzled Out 24.02.2022 55:54
Fizzling does not take place between two people in a committed, loving relationship. It takes place between two people who are together under unclear terms. They can't properly break up, because they don't have anything to break. Instead, one person in the fling begins to fade out of the relationship as casually as he or she stumbled into it.
Mind the business that pays you 17.02.2022 41:26
This may be a sticky one, but this is what we do. As a reality tv generation that has grown up on social media, we have been programmed to argue on the internet and involve ourselves in things. Hey, we are guilty of it too you know, but let’s talk about it.
Time to Dip 10.02.2022 49:46

I got me 13.01.2022 55:54
Life has a funny way of making us doubt ourselves. Whether it is our circumstances or just a series of unfortunate events that cause us to second guess ourselves. It is time we sit back and trust ourselves .
Grocery List 06.01.2022 43:58

Lessons from the Rona 30.12.2021 58:46
The past two years have been a movie for us all. Things have affected us all in different ways from the zoom life to staying in the house for weeks on end, masks and let’s not forget the hand sanitizer. With that being said we learned a lot.
Young and the Restless 23.12.2021 44:33
Restlessness is something that we have both struggled with significantly. It manifests itself in a number of different ways. Not saying we are over it, it’s kinda something we actively work through every day but hey, let’s talk about it.
Bro that's toxic! 16.12.2021 1:03:50
Toxicity is a real thing and it's something we all do, whether consciously or unconsciously. Quite often, it’s our little, harmful routines that break our success, not the lack of good ones.

Single like a Pringle 25.11.2021 54:34
There’s so much value in being single that people often overlook when we should be embracing and appreciating it instead. You have the freedom to learn, grow, and explore, without any of the guilt associated with taking time for self-care.
You vs You 18.11.2021 54:16
As people strive for any improvement in their lives—whether it's more income, a better relationship, a promotion, a bigger business, or a better body—the most important battles they will face are against themselves. People invite problems into their lives through poor choices, apathy, indecision, arrogance, anxiety, selfishness, and other traits they would rather not discuss but must be addre...
Oh that's attractive 11.11.2021 50:17
