Musings Of a Tired Nigerian Girl

January 1st comes with a lot of noise.Pressure to become. Pressure to perform. Pressure to start again, perfectly.In this episode, I’m choosing honesty instead.I talk about entering a new year without pretending to be brand new, redefining aspirations so they don’t cost you yourself, and what it means to live deliberately in a world that rewards urgency, especially here in Nigeria.This is a quiet conversation about honest living, softened ambition, rest without guilt, and choosing a life that actually feels like yours.No resolutions. No pretending.Just musings, as we step into a new year together.
