Adulting can feel overwhelming sometimes, but lately I’ve been reflecting on the little joys that come with it, too. In this episode of Random Musings, I share some of the upsides I’ve noticed, such as the communities we get to build, the autonomy to make our own choices, and the freedom to spend our money the way we want.
What about you? Have you discovered any good sides to adulting? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Share them with me on Twitter: @queenraffyspacepodcast
In this episode of Random Musings, I discuss how harsh people can be towards oversharers and why that judgment often overlooks the bigger picture.
If you’ve ever shared a little too much and then felt regret afterwards, this one is for you.
I share practical tips to help oversharers protect themselves, set healthy boundaries, and express openly without carrying the weight of embarrassment later.
In this episode of random musings, I go on a bit of a rant about negativity because some people seem hooked on it. Everything they see, they twist into something bad. That is not a healthy way to live. I share why staying stuck in that mindset does more harm than good and why it is so important to flip the script, shift your perspective, and choose a better way to see life.
Appreciate your tribe...

Not So Terrible People by Nana Sule is a book that blends everyday human struggles with the mystical. I loved how she crafted celestial creatures like the devil and jinns with such human-like features, making the stories feel both familiar and otherworldly at the same time. Do listen to my thoughts on it and why I think you should read it, too.

Life is for the living...
Nobody is an overnight success...
June was a lot, and in true Random Musings fashion, I’m here to talk all about it.
From starting a brand new role as a Customer Success Manager (oh yes, Raffy is a woman in tech now 👩🏾💻), to attending a podcast narrative storytelling workshop by Culture Custodian that filled me with new creative energy, June had me spinning, in the best way possible.
But that’s not all.
I also got the honour of hosting my best friend’s wedding, which was both magical and hilarious. Oh, and I squeezed in a relaxing day at the beach with my siblings, plus caught one of the best Nollywood films I’ve seen in a while.
This episode is part recap, part reflection, and part me just gisting with you about how life really came at me in June. So plug in, laugh with me, and maybe even take a few lessons because sometimes a month really does the most...
Make ir exist...Before you make it perfect...
For this episode, I talk about my lifelong fascination with the art of movies. From the Nollywood movies that sparked my interest to the new ones that I still love now.
Even though the joy I once felt has shifted, my admiration for the intricate artistry behind every film remains strong. From the compelling performances of actors to the genius of editors, sound designers, and lighting experts, I appreciate how their efforts come together to create magic.

Don't let your emotions rule you. ..
In this episode of Queen Raffy's Space, I reflect on three powerful qualities that define Nigerians—resilience, creativity, and the ability not to sweat the small stuff. These traits have helped us thrive in challenging environments, making us resourceful, adaptable, and forward-thinking. Yet, in certain moments, they can also be a double-edged sword.
How does our resilience sometimes lead to unnecessary endurance? Does our creativity sometimes come at the cost of structure? And does our ability to brush off the small stuff sometimes mean ignoring bigger, systemic issues?
