This week, I’m joined by Ogo, an inspiring powerhouse of a woman who’s balancing career, motherhood, and fitness - making it all look super easy. We talk about what it really takes to stay consistent, finding time for yourself when everyone needs you, and why some days, the win is just showing up.
As someone who was inspired to participate in the Toronto City Marathon, just by watching her do it, I consider Ogo an influencer and took so much out of our conversation. I know you will too.

One shady comment, one act of revenge, and just like that her peach was gone. This episode dives into the explosive story of a Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member who let the heat of the moment cost her everything (for this season, at least).
As I reflect on my experience with people who deliberately poke you, this is a reminder that not every clapback is worth it, and sometimes the real power move… is walking away.

Life has been 'Lifing'... in the most awesome way ever and I'm back on the pod to tell you all about it. Also, I watched a true crime documentary on a very special con artist and I was mindblown!!! This episode explores compulsive lying, deception and delusions of grandeur and how they impact the people at the receiving end.

It’s Mental Health Day, and we’re talking about the most important person in your life—you! Not your family, not your friends, and especially not your boss, but you. Join me as we chat about how to sidestep stress, say a firm “no” to unnecessary drama, and understand why self-care is in the simplest of things. It’s time to prioritize your peace of mind, because if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? Listen in for practical tips, a few laughs, and a reminder that putting yourself first is the best investment you can make.
Warning: This episode contains discussions of violent themes, including abuse, femicide, and strong language related to death. Listener discretion is advised!
In this powerful episode, we delve into the alarming rise in femicide and the devastating realities of abuse against women in Africa and the diaspora. Through real-life stories of victims, we explore the many forms of abuse—physical, emotional, psychological, and financial—that women often endure in silence until it's too late. This episode sheds light on the warning signs and patterns of abusive behavior and aims to empower listeners with knowledge, tools, and resources. Whether you're a victim or you know someone who is, we encourage you to take action, speak up, and be part of the solution.
Hey y'all...Welcome back to the podcast! After a year-long break, I decided to dive back into something I really love doing with an episode titled "Time Check!" In this episode, I explore the pivotal choices we face in our 30s—career shifts, relationship decisions, lifestyle changes, and so much more. This is an engaging episode that hopefully marks my return to podcasting and also sparks introspection about the paths we choose and the importance of enjoying every phase of our lives.
The proof of life episode where I once again, explain my unexplained silence for the past couple of months. Well, it's just two words and an exclamation mark - no bandwidth!. On this one, I muse about some things that have been on my mind and all the fun little life changes have that have been happening. At the end of the day, 'everyone was once a baby' - remembering this helps us appreciate how hard people have had to work to get where they are, and how possibly, there's still a giant baby in everyone! Enjoy xx

This new episode is about "unpopular opinions” that should remain as that - or should they? I invite you to listen as I explore some random thoughts on identity and also share some insightful learnings from the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I do agree that not everything I say on this episode would resonate with everyone, so only take what you need..see what I did there? ;)

Guess who's back, back again - Shady's back, tell a friend!
Can we pretend that I didn't leave you guys in radio silence for four months? Can we pretend that I've been publishing podcasts back to back and that a catchup episode isn't necessary? No? Okay...
Hello everyone, welcome to season 3. It's the same ol' Doris but with a different post code. I am deeply sorry. Life happened and as with every new experience, I have been going through the various stages of change and have hopefully reached the point of acceptance. This episode shares a bit about my journey and all the fun I plan to have on the podcast going forward. Enjoy..

Not much to say... goodbyes are hard so you may call this the cry me a river episode.

On this episode, we welcome back Jennifer Ugorji for a light-hearted chat about choices, trade-offs, children, work, men and everything in-between. As you can guess, this conversation was random but thoughtful and full of many belly laughs. Listen and play the games along with us and let me know how you did. Have I mentioned how Jennifer threw some questions at me and for the first time...I discuss my ideal man (at least what he looks like in my head - and no, he doesn't have to drop from the sky holding a lightsaber ). Find Jennifer on instagram @jeneeffah and follow her social impact project @game.for.hope to connect with the amazing work she's doing.

"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is a lie" - These are words to live by when you meet someone new.
The Tinder Swindler has us all amazed as to how he pulled off a Ponzi scheme to amass millions of dollars from women around the world. Everyone is talking about the new documentary on Netflix yet somebody somewhere is about to fall victim to another con artist just because they do not want to say NO and mean it..
On this episode, I share tips yet again on how to unleash the power of NO and avoid being a victim because sad as it is, most of the perpetrators walk free after ruining lives.

It's Friend! Oh yes, my favourite F word is Friendship...what did you think my favourite F word would be? Food? haha
I’ve been accused of romanticizing friendship, and it’s true, I do. I really love my friends and I’m not ashamed to admit that my friends are amazing. It’s difficult to organize your life around friendship in a world that’s built for couples, and it’s doubly difficult when your time with friends is seen as a fun extracurricular activity instead of a basic human need. Friendships are so much more and we grow older, there needs to be intention because friendship is not easy. Listen as I share my views on what makes for a great friendship and some of the tell-tale signs that a friendship has outlived its usefulness...RUN!

On this episode, I have a good ol' chat with my buddy Emeka [@no1_wordsmith] and we talked about dating in your 30s, dating in Lagos, and dating spring chickens (apparently, that's some people's flavour *side eye*). Well, Emeka answered some of the burning questions I have always wanted to ask men and he shares his very interesting views on the most random things. Listen to laugh and catch up with all the fun we had on the pod.
