What are the benefits of stepping away? 💭 In this season opener, Solace talks about a choice he made to leave a leadership position because he felt like he was ‘losing’ himself. Do you think he made the right decision? 👀

November is recognised as International Men’s Mental Health Month. In this episode, Solace along with three of his friends, share their thoughts on men’s mental health in general.

In this episode, Solace speaks about time, the importance of having good time management skills and appreciating the time we have been blessed with. How do you use your time? 🤔 Do you view time as the enemy of progress or do you try to ride the chromatic waves and whether the seconds and hours in each day?

Solace returns with his latest episode which focuses on forgiveness. “We must choose not to live in guilt and we should not think of ourselves as undeserving of forgiveness. We need to own up when we mess up, aim not to make that error again and forgive ourselves, even when others choose not to forgive us”- SOLACE 💫

It is no secret that guilt exists. We have all felt guilty at some point in our lives. In this episode, Solace speaks about how we can overcome this wretched feeling by taking some practical steps💫

God is in every detail of your life. If something does not seem to be working in your favour, rest assured that God is not dormant. The struggle may be real but so is God. #Season1Finale🔥🎙

In the day and age that we are living in, we must be practical. Undoubtedly, sometimes our practicality can be easily mistaken for being negative or pessimistic. This has led me to ask the question, “What is the difference between a negative person and a practical person?” 💭

I celebrated my 24th birthday on 15/02🎉 This entire birthday season has reminded me of how important it is to give thanks. I was showered with love from people all around me. In the same way, you are also surrounded by love. God’s love lives in and around us all. Let’s show some love today❤️

People often associate Valentine’s Day with couples and being in a romantic relationship. However, not much focus has been placed on self love. This episode aims to change that narrative🌟🌟😎🤩🤩

Mario Campbell is a very good friend of mine. Born in America with Jamaican roots, Mario details his transition from Jamaica (where he actually grew up) back to the US when he was 18. Mario sheds further light on the experiences he has had, living in a society plagued by racism. 🚨 You may need to increase the volume to hear the conversation clearly 🚨 *A number of technical difficulties were experienced but we thank God for allowing us to finally get a recording done from start to finish* 🙏🏾

God often places us in areas of discomfort, so that we can grow. Are you willing to go the extra mile? Are you willing to drop everything and go, if God tells you to? Let’s be obedient to the voice of God and NOT miss out on our blessings💫🙌🏽

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” Philippians 4:6 🙏🏾

To be ‘intentional’ means to take the initiative to focus on what really matters or what is important to you. For 2021, let us be more intentional in everything that we do🙏🏾💫 Happy New Year!🎉

My very first guest, Jody Ann Gordon has an amazing story of triumph and faith. As a Jamaican (born and bred) she came to the UK to join her immediate family and has since used the motto ‘Carpe Diem’ to get her through some of the most difficult times. I hope this interview makes you smile🙌🏽❤️
