Hellloo my favorite people! (shhhh, don't let the Youtube people hear),
I have missed you! I have also missed recording audio content for my podcast! I feel like since I got comfortable with Youtube, I found it hard to come back to creating for my podcast again. I'd like to make the promise that I will be back with a new episode/season soon but these days, I've found myself making too many promises on delivering content (especially for my blog on Medium), so I best be careful. Anyhoo, I've missed you so much, and for now, I'm back with the last and final podcast episode for Season 4 (and nostalgically, the last one I recorded while living in New York City).
In this episode, Maureen and I discuss her transition from Nigeria to the UK, where she is building a flourishing career in People and Change Consulting, while also mentoring and offering guidance to others in their career paths through her career coaching outfit, Intentional Strides.
We fondly reminisce on our school days, the mischief and camaraderie that formed the bedrock of our friendship, and share how our friendship has thrived miles apart for the past 16 years! We also reminisce about our high school activism ventures, and the rebellious spirit that sometimes landed us in "trouble" but taught us invaluable lessons. You can listen to/watch more about our activism days here.
Since I'll be moving to the UK in January 2025, I thought to sit with Maureen and learn everything I need to know before my big move to London!
Whether you're planning a move abroad, seeking career advice, or simply looking to hear heartwarming tales of friendship, this episode is for you! ENJOY!
