Episode 8 - Prioritising Self-Care

Self-care—buzzword or necessity? Is it bubble baths and spa days, or something deeper? In this episode, we unpack the meaning of self-care, how it’s viewed in African culture—especially for women—and how that contrasts with Western ideals.

We’re thrilled to welcome our very first guest, Amaka Asiodu, a psychiatrist and coach specialising in intentional self-care. She shares valuable insights on faith, mental health, and practical ways to nurture yourself without guilt.

Through laughter, personal stories, and real talk, we explore why self-care often feels like a luxury rather than a necessity and how we can start prioritising it in meaningful ways.

Join us for an engaging and honest discussion that will leave you rethinking what it means to truly take care of yourself!
