Gifting The Future

Join us on this episode, where we discuss the importance of evaluating behaviours based on our own experiences and understanding of individuals, to extend grace when perspectives differ or in situations where we may experience others differently, discounting hearsay and temporary shifts. We discuss challenging cancel culture by considering the bigger picture when evaluating someone's behaviour, to avoid losing or damaging valuable relationships.

We are turning the heat up with this episode, where we challenge the premise of ‘unconscious bias’. We keep it real with personal examples of experiencing unsavoury characters from other races and acknowledge the intentional effort and decisions we made as result to see the individuals as simply that- individuals, not spokespeople or necessarily representative of all others from their communities. We also discuss how appearances play into first impressions, to rightly or wrongly inform an opinion of others.

Be sure to listen to episode 15, where we explore the challenges of forging new paths in the pursuit of greatness (or simply, ‘more’), without the guidance of others who have been there (and done that) before. We share tips on navigating uncharted territory and possibly providing support to future trailblazers.

On this episode, we delve into empowering females to take charge of their lives, recognise red flags and cultivate a resilient mindset. We’re emphasising the importance of making decisions that shape your life and happiness, taking ownership of choices, aspirations and desires and discuss examples of decisions that should never be delegated to others. We explore various areas where women tend to compromise their agency, such as career choices, relationships, and personal growth. Not forgetting the red flags in romantic relationships, friendships and professional environments and the warning signs that may indicate harm or toxicity.

Join us in this episode as we explore decisions that females should always retain control over. While these decisions are not meant to be contentious, they are ones that women should fully own, although external perspectives and advice may play a role in shaping the final outcome.

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we delve into a topic close to the heart of some women: the most significant decision a female may face in her life, if her lifestyle aligns. Tune in for an engaging discussion on the importance and rationale behind this.

Blend in or Stand out? This episode is the first in a female-focused series. Though not an issue unique to females, we discuss the factors that suggest that the female gender feels the pressure most to blend in while being outstanding.

Today’s episode is part two of our discussions around the things to consider to inform the decision to save, spend or invest. There is a focus on pensions, given the limited education and understanding of the topic, and if compound interest does not encourage higher contributions into your pension, hopefully understanding the impact on tax and tax bands will!

We are joined by a special guest for this 2-part episode. Daniel Johnson, a poet, designer and musician, discusses his experiences of societal expectations on BAME men and the effects of these pressures.

In a world where people often consider vulnerability a weakness, where and around whom is it safe to show our vulnerabilities? Aside from the mental health and well-being benefits of being able to be ‘weak’ in a safe place, those we can show this side of ourselves can strengthen, challenge and uplift us with their insights. In this episode, we discuss these individuals who see the worst and best of us.

Where's your tribe? How do you determine membership of your tribe? Is it people with whom you share history, beliefs or a name? In this episode, we discuss the qualities of the members of your tribe and how these individuals impact your future.

Whether it’s a post made on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any other social media platforms, it's essential to know how to avoid those social media posts returning to bite. In this episode, we discuss the impact of social media checks by employers as part of their due diligence and how to prevent posts not intended for prospective employers from informing the basis of an employment decision.

In this episode, we’re discussing incremental progress for individuals not born into families and situations that naturally afford them a privilege or advantage. Let's share examples of things you can do to improve outcomes for yourself and those to come.

From the taboo subject of sex, to how we show up and grow up as well-rounded individuals, the lessons we never had can be the difference between existing and thriving. Join us for a cheekier discussion on what our parents and villages omitted!!

In this episode, we discuss privilege and how certain characteristics either afford, or strip us of privilege. It's great if we present with the characteristics that typically afford privilege; we are able-bodied, have tertiary education, access to healthcare, are middle class (or wealthy), own property and have robust mental health? What can we do if we don't present with those characteristics? Join us for the discussion.

We’ve heard about the gaps: the attainment gap, the North-South gap, and the socio-economic gap. What about the knowledge gap? The things we don’t know, not because we’re stupid but because we’ve never been taught or shown. Things others take for granted, that have helped their trajectory but are missing from ours?
