What leads people to depression? Actually for some people, a negative, stressful, or unhappy family life can lead to depression. Other high-stress living situations — like poverty, homelessness, or violence — can lead to it, too. Dealing with bullying, harassment, or peer pressure also leaves some people feeling alone or anxious…. Depression is a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health. It's treatable and it's worth talking to someone about it…

Depression is also more common in people with anxiety or other mental health problems. Teens who have tried to self-harm by the age of 16 have a higher risk of having depression by the time they're young adults. Ways to Feel Better Every Day 1: Seek mental health care. This is at the top of the list for a reason. ... 2: Sleep enough. Most of us spend one-quarter to one-third of our lives asleep. ... 3: Eat plenty of fiber. ... 4: Go outside. ... 5: Exercise. ... 6: Do something creative. ...

Why do single mothers who remarry behave like their life depends on the marriage, they don’t want their children in quote spoil their marriage or break their marriage.. I don’t understand how you will turn your back on your child because you are with a new man .. So there is this young girl someone brought to live with me .. she is about 17yrs . She told me her mother was married to another man and the man didn’t want to see her.. and the mom already has children for him.. There is one thing I need to let a lot of you parents know!! When you love a child , it’s hard to influence that child outside, because the love you have given to that child will bring trust and confidence and if anyone tries to influence them , you will be the first to hear because they trust you.. But when you push a child away, the wickedness of the world is waiting to show the child other options.. Do you know why I say this? Because I want you to understand from this story .. Some months after she resumed she said she was going for her grandpa’s burial.. I said no problem, gave her transport and she left.. She stayed one week in the village and came back.. I travelled to Italy for a while and while I was away I had a neighbor who I actually begged to help me look over my apartment. When she called me she told me the girl who works for me said she wanted to leave.. I was shocked , so I called her mr told her to be patient I will soon return Me she said ok I returned about a week later and immediately I saw her I noticed her face was chubby and she was bloated .. so I asked her if she had her period she said yes… I didn’t say anything the next morning immediately I woke up I went to her room and told her to dress up that we needed to pick something, she did and I took her straight to the lab. They did a pregnancy test and this little girl was pregnant.. so she wanted to leave before I returned so I won’t know she was pregnant Anyway I took her back home and called her family that brought her to me, so we can find out how she got pregnant.. and who was responsible So I got the mothers number from her so I cal talk to her woman to woman, but I got the shock of my life .. I put a call through to the mother of the pregnant young girl, I introduce myself and told her the situation her daughter is in.. And all this woman would say is MADAM PLEASE my husband must not hear about something like this he is a pastor .. 😱 like What???? You mean that is more important? I was so angry and I told her to stop talking like that, but this woman continued .. I lost it at that point , like how can you not even be interested in who did this yo your daughter instead you are talking about your husband and his church.. I really felt disappointed because this and many more is what children suffer , they suffer neglect, the suffer rape and all sorts of abuse .. and a single mother would rather face her new man.. I gave her a piece of my mind .. that she is not worthy of the title MY NAMNY IS PREGNANT Mind you when she came I took her for medial screening so she was ok health wise and not pregnant.. After she got back from that buy

My parents are bullies !!!! Is this how you will be described? So here is the story !!! A woman is beside me in the salon I went to some days ago, a child walked up to her and angrily she said WHAT IS IT? The child was quiet , and the next thing she said is , stop disgracing yourself, The child went closer and this woman slapped her I was furious and said madam what is it , why will you bring up a child the way you were raised, then I said “you can’t even ask the child what is the issues was or why was she looking sad” I had to intervene… I asked the child her name she said Sophia , oh what a lovely name, come my dear I pulled her close and told her to sit beside me.. I asked the almighty question… WHAT IS WRONG MY DEAR.. and she said the hair is too tight , omg I checked the place she complained about and it was looking like the strands were about to cut … I immediately called the stylist to loose the part she was complaining about.. this is how toxic some parents are, bullies !! And they groom their children to become one.. hope you enjoyed this and put it to practice.. see you soon.

Today’s episode is dedicated to my mother-in-law who passed away in 2017.. today it struck me with so much memories and I wonder what if someone somewhere actually need some encouragement right now … I know exactly how it feels , I know how you feel.. but trust me when I say YOU WILL BE FINE .. you are not gonna forget but you will heal and you will carry the memories of them for life .. be strong you will pull through .. much love KingB .

A lot of marriages struggle, a lot of people are living in relationships where they regret daily .. why do you want to be married and single at the same time.. why aren’t couples doing things together anymore? So many sad stories of toxic marriage.. someone said to me KingB how do I deal with my mistakes.. my response is some of us still live with our mistakes… build a relationship with love..

Look before you leap..

A woman contacted me She is in her late 40s almost 50 She is doing her masters program in one of the nigerian universities.. she is married with 4 kids ... 3 boys and a girl So she said she was on her way to get some groceries and her car suddenly started jerking and before you know it the car had stopped... We all know alot of women dont know much about automobile... She had to dail her husband's number, he wasn't picking and unfortunately it started raining so there was no way to come down and start ask6for help, but she kept calling her husband, eventually he picked. And in her words she said the first thing he said was WHAT IS IT ? She now explained to him that she was stranded and its raining heavily... and the man's response was Ehen what should I do about that, madam pls dont disturb me I am busy.. when this woman was sharing her story it took me down memory lane on the day I had an accident, and I messaged my husband, guess what he read the message and never replied.. I really don't know if some of us married humans ... Anyway back to the story, she said she called him HONEY!! to be sure she is talking to the right person... the man response was like someone sliced her into two.. she said he hung up and in that car she wept , she said blessing I cried liked I was at my own funeral... Guys when this woman spoke to me I cried so much that I had emotional eruptions for days.... The things women go through in toxic relationships and marriages will shock even the devil, I am still asking DO MEN HATE THEIR WIVES? Why make her suffer emotionally.. Anyway she said she called one of her classmates and told him she was stranded as her car stopped on the road . This was his response, oh so sorry about that, hope you are safe where the car stopped? And she told him it was safe, the guy now asked her to send her location, and in 30 minutes the guy arrived under the rain with his mechanic... he stood under the rain with the mechanic, it took them some hrs to get the car fix. The guy left and got her food and drinks cos she said she cant follow him .... Ladies and gentlemen the man who wasn't married to this woman became her prince in shining armor ... She got home and the husband didnt even ask her what happened and how she got back.. she said all he asked was this one u are coming this time Hope the food will be ready on time, so she said the guy that helped her called to ask if she was home and she Yes and thanked him for his help.... She said but from that day she feel in love with the guy, and the guy was also very caring.. and gradually they became close and glam they became lovers.. she said blessing the guy is HEAVEN ON EARTH, she was happy , she was always smiling and she said her son's were like mummy u are so cheerful these days. And she told them she found JOY.. so now here is the problem the husband died of liver cancer he was a heavy drinker (a delta man) if you know nigerian delta men majority are really heavy drinkers ... so that her prince charming wants them to get married, so she was asking me is it too soon to get married ? This woman shared her story with trust that she will remain anonymous... and she shared so many bad memories and I have to tell you this LEAVE HER ALONE SHE DESERVES THIS... So my humble audience drop your thoughts on this matter Should she marry the man who she feels came to her rescue... or stay as a widow or she should give the dead some time to chill

Questions to ask before marriage What does marriage mean to you? What does love mean to you What do you think is most needed loyalty or respect What does family mean to you What do you see as a team

Gratitude is contentment

We all are aware of how cosmetic surgery has taken over the industry especially Nollywood… in 2015 I posted on Facebook and said very soon women will lose themselves to cosmetic surgery because of inferiority complex. But really, all these surgery and ways of being artificially beautiful is really getting out of hand with girls. I blame all this their celebrities pictures …showing ass, showing boobies. Some girls feel inferior if they don' have those assets, so they go all out to get them Even at the risk of their lives. Let me educate a lot of you, especially young girls, fat transfer is one of the most dangerous procedures… Why will you put your life on the line just because you want big yansh and breast..? A lot of these girls have inferiority complex, they go on social media and see their celebrities and want to be like that. As a person you need to love YOU!! You need to appreciate the body you were created in. Now this young girl, whose mother sells fufu here in port harcourt, took 3m naira to do plastic surgery, you mean that was priority to her? Instead of taking her family out of trenches. Unfortunately she lost her life in the process. And you know the funny part? Most of all this is because a lot of them wants to catch rich married men. It's so unfortunate I hope some other girls will learn from this.. but if they still go ahead with it, anything they see they should take it like that. Now listen to khloe of bbnaija tell you her experience when she had plastic surgery, and she said even if she is given 100m she will never do it again….

Johnny Depp and Amber divorce I always say this , going through divorce is a lot of stress , I guess that is why my African people just pack their bags quietly and leave.. Are you guys following on the divorce case between Johnny Depp and his wife. Johnny Depp acted pirates of the Caribbean in case you are not familiar with the name. The woman is saying he was abusive to her both emotionally and physically and the man is saying she was abusive to him … So here we have two people who were so in love with each other, who slept on the same bed, who made sweet love and today they are at each other’s throats .. What happened? Meeting Amber heard he thought he has found true love and a friend. He never thought he would be in an abusive marriage. Amber abused him Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally. So this is for my single men and women who are planning to get married, please don’t ignore the RED FLAGS..

A lot of people make the same mistake I made, of starting a business without getting the proper knowledge and coaching in business.. so a young man met with me and said he needed funds and will appreciate the support to start his business. So I asked him what’s the returns monthly on the business, with the capital he is asking for was about over 5m .. and he told me he will ask his friend, his friend gave him. Business ideas and he wants funds to start a business someone told him about.. and I shared my experience with him about how I failed in a business a friend suggested, and without proper knowledge and research, I started a business I didn’t know anything about. And I lost the money and the business collapsed like a business.. that’s what happens when you bypass the process.. so as you listen to this podcast I hope you learn from this.. see you again on real life talk with Blessing..

In a world filled with jealousy and envy, a world where people betray their friends for money and fame. So guys let me share this short story that happened to me Salome years ago. You see being too open minded is also not a good attribute. Listen to this podcast and I hope you learnt something very important

Ghost husband (The best revenge is success) Wahala be like jingle bell ooo. Oh boy I saw a post on Facebook of a lady who called of her wedding on the morning of her wedding, because she found out her supposed groom was a married man with children , who had lied to her all the years of their courtship Seriously it’s so painful, all the years she has wasted on a relationship that was full of lies Seriously port harcourt men you guys can do better and stop all this lies, this has become so rampant, that was how a close friend told me a married man asked her to marry him and they will move to another city, as in why will you ghost your wife, the babe was like sorry I can’t be a part of such evil, she was telling me and in my head I was like this is one of so many men out there who is planning to run away with another woman, when they kept one with children . I find it quite despicable that a man won’t be bold enough to divorce one before going with another, A lot of men are ghosting their wives and children! Why is that becoming a norm , Today I will share a story of a dear friend who I would rather keep anonymous even though she called her name in the interview. Hello sir before you ghost your family, I will like to let you know that it is traumatic when such things happen, you do not only leave them physically you also rip their hearts because it makes your family feel like you died.. This lady attempted suicide 2 times, she became a shadow of herself, she became a mental, emotional reck. Please as you listen to her learn something because thee is a lot happening out there This interview is quite a long one so it’s gonna be in two episodes. You will hear ‘The husband vanish’ and then he goes to another place and gets married it’s becoming a trend which is absolutely ridiculous because for me it is a weakling that will do something like that. And to every woman or man who has being ghosted by their partner, I want to say be strong, for the sake of yourself and your children. And soon I will talk about ghosting especially in the single folks , I will talk about the signs and what to do .. I love you all so much for taking out time to listen to this show, talk to you soon on real life talk with Blessing.

Don’t force a child Guess who went to an event at the Catholic Church So I got invited for an event called confirmation at the Catholic Churches, a friend said her child was getting confirmed and she will love me to come . So I went and it was a different experience on its own , you know the Catholics have their own doctrine which is amazing by the way So it was time for the events and parents were getting their wards ready , and while this was going on a woman was shouting at her child and I quote “are you stupid? What do you mean by that? You must be crazy “ she lost sight of where she was and the child was crying , I couldn’t take it I had to stand up and go meet her .. madam what is the problem, and she said can you imagine this stupid child said she doesn’t want to get confirmed.. I turned to the child who was crying seriously and I said hello sweetie why did you change your mind, you know your mother has being planing for this day, then I realizes she was only confused and needed explanation which the parent didn’t give I said to her , my darling what you are doing here today isn’t for your mother or your father you are doing it as an acknowledgment to God your creator, I told her she was only doing what has being a catholic doctrine so she shouldn’t feel forced. Now she cleaned her eyes , I asked her do you like being a catholic she said yes Aunty and I said then this act here today is you confirming you are proud of being a catholic. She said Aunty can you walk with me to the front , I turned to the mother and she said pls help me madam , I told her to smile and be happy because it’s a special day for her , you need to see this child she became so excited and smiling (lol) I felt so good solving that problem. But now to the real gist , parents and guardians don’t always feel because you are the parent then the child has no say in the decisions you make in their lives . Please always carry the child along, talk to them about the cause for the things you are about to do which I voles them. If not a child will feel you are forcing them to do what they don’t understand and it doesn’t end well cos eventually it will lead to resentment..

It all starts from you telling your son to beat his sister if he annoys him It all starts from you saying to your daughter after the brother beats her up WHAT DID YOU DO.. this should stop, we are talking about grooming the male child to understand love differently, You hear some mothers say , if your sister disrespect you beat her let her shut her mouth and today we have full blown monsters Who don’t only beat but murder their wives and husbands The mentality has to change, parenting patter. Has to stop. Some of grand parents got it wrong Some of our parents got it wrong We don’t have to make the same mistakes. A message from pastor paul eneche on the death of the popular ekueme singer that died over the week. This is a big blow on alot of us It is a big blow most especially on her family. I saw a video of the mother crying bitterly. My pain is all this could have been avoided if she left that marriage . Pls stop stigmatizing women who come out of abusive relationships, a friend of mine told me BLESSING I have lost all my friends because to them I am single, so that I wont snatxh their husband, they dont even allow me visit unlike when I was with my husband.. imagine the mentally of some people.. This particular lady had to leave the marriage when this man almost took her life by throwing her from upstairs. She kept praying and saying maybe he will change . Instead it got worst. But today she is single and happy, in her own words Blessing I dont wake up with fear anymore. If you are an abusive husband I need to let you know you failed as a person, how can't you see you are doing alot of damage to a human being Get help get help, Madam please tou dont have to die in an abusive marriage to show you are a virtuous woman, I know alot of women are held ransom because the man knows he holds the money the funds so where can she go, when she cant even pay for her a bowl of food in a restaurant. That is why we have come up with a team to get support for women who are in abusive relationships. We have free accommodations until the lady settles down. We are a team of builders who are building.g a better world to live in. Alot of these men have mental issues, bipolar, narcissism and lots more But because those mental disorders doesn't show on faces , you see a cute looking guy smiling, but when u end up with him he will drive you to a point of suicide or depression. Alot of abused women feel weak, vulnerable, not only their body is abused their mind is also abused , listen to this ways a person can be abused mentally, because some women sent messages and said they dont know if they are being abused, I am glad I saw some pastors condemning this wicked act. The worst part is this domestic violence does not stop with the wife , it extends to the children because alot grow to be like their fathers , some dont but it's more of the majority. Alot of people has lunacy tendencies, if you check their family history you see they had mad people and all that. Mothers protect your children from future damage, if you need help you can reach out to me on my Instagram, Facebook, tiktok even on my website www.purposefulvoice.com . Please don't die in silence.

Loyalty can be beautiful and even an example of sacrificial love. But don’t allow stupidity to creep in, so a lady and her friends are being charged in court for the murder of a lady they beat to death in some past episodes, I talked about a young man who ended up in prison because of 50 nairas, so today I am sharing the story of a lady who brought her friends to fight with her neighbor she had a disagreement.  I guess out of loyalty these ladies actually followed her to go fight someone else, or should we call it stupidity.  the eventually killed the lady and today they are going to face the wrath of the law, and you know they could have advised their friend instead of agreeing to the fight (lack of wisdom) please don't be that one who lacks wisdom, don't let anger control you be in control of your emotion. I hope we all learned from that story,  if you enjoy my podcast, do well to share it with friends and families.  Thanks
