  Life has not been easy for me. Honestly, some days I feel like I’m running in circles — trying, failing, and trying again. I’ve made decisions that didn’t work out. I’ve stumbled in ways that made me question myself. I’ve felt lost, overwhelmed, and sometimes even defeated. My struggles are many. There’s the constant pressure of money , wondering how to survive while still dreaming big. There’s self-doubt , those nagging voices in my head telling me I’m not enough. Anxiety creeps in when I think about the future, and depression sometimes tries to convince me to just stop trying. But even in the middle of all this, I’ve found my weapons — the tools that help me fight back: • Faith and prayer: My connection with God reminds me that I’m not alone and that things can always get better. • Writing and sharing: Putting my thoughts on paper or on my blog clears my mind and helps me process struggles. • Small wins: Every little step counts — paying a bill, completing...

  Life can get messy, bestie. Between the struggle, anxiety, deadlines, and money worries, it sometimes feels like adulthood is just chaos wrapped in bills. But here’s the thing: there are ways to make life a little easier, a little happier, and a lot more manageable . I’m sharing life-saving tips for my bestie — the kind of advice I wish someone had handed me on a silver platter. ⸻ 1. Money Matters 💰 Even small savings can save you big stress later. Try to set aside at least 10% of everything you earn . Yes, even ₦100 counts. Stop spending all your cash on random things that don’t matter. Think of it as fuel for your future self . ⸻ 2. Mental Health First 🧘🏽‍♀️ Your mind is your home, bestie. Don’t let stress or anxiety take over. Talk about your struggles, even if it’s just with one trusted friend. Take breaks, meditate, or just breathe deeply — 10 minutes a day can work wonders. ⸻ 3. Time is Gold ⏳ Scrolling endlessly on social media? Stop. Make a small ...

  Life after school is not what I imagined. If you’re reading this, you probably thought adulthood would be simple too: graduate, get a good job, start making money, and live happily ever after. But reality? Completely different! My story is one filled with dreams, struggles, and plenty of lessons. I’ve had days when I was full of ideas, ready to take over the world. And then days when I didn’t even want to get out of bed because everything felt heavy — money worries, future worries, even self-doubt. Sometimes it feels like life is running faster than me, and I’m still struggling to catch up. But here’s the funny part: even in the middle of my struggles, I still find reasons to laugh. I laugh at my “adulting fails” — like trying to save money but ending up broke before the month ends, or telling myself I’ll be consistent in something and then forgetting about it a week later. Maybe you can relate? The truth is, life is not a straight road. Some days I feel lost, other days ...

  We often wait for big milestones to celebrate life — a promotion, a raise, or a big achievement. But sometimes, small wins are what truly build momentum. Did you finish a project you procrastinated on? Pay a small debt? Learn something new today? Those are victories. They may feel small, but they matter. When you celebrate tiny wins: • You build confidence. • You create momentum. • You train your mind to focus on progress, not perfection. Even celebrities start small: every song released, every social media post, every connection they make contributes to their larger success. So today, recognize your small wins. Share them, write them down, and let them remind you that you are moving forward, even when it doesn’t feel obvious . Call to Action: What’s one small win you’re proud of today?

  When we were younger, we thought adulthood would be clear: finish school, get a good job, get married, start a family, and live happily ever after. But the truth is, once you step into your 20s, reality feels far from the script. Some people are making big money. Some are traveling the world. Some are married with kids. Meanwhile, you might still be job-hunting, living with parents, or trying to figure out what you even want to do with your life. And that can feel frustrating. But here’s what you need to hear: it’s okay not to have it all figured out in your 20s. Your 20s are not the finish line — they are the training ground. This is the decade where you experiment, make mistakes, try jobs, lose friends, start over, and learn about yourself. Nobody tells you this enough, but confusion is part of the process. Think about it: • Oprah Winfrey didn’t become successful until her 30s. • Colonel Sanders (KFC) started in his 60s. • Many of the people you admire to...

  We all grew up with that dream: “Finish school, get a good job, start enjoying life.” But the reality after school hits differently. No one tells you about the waiting seasons — the endless CVs sent without replies, the pressure from family, the awkward conversations when people ask, “So, what are you doing now?” For some, it’s the job rejections. For others, it’s no opportunities at all. And in between all these, depression and anxiety sneak in. You start comparing your life with old classmates on social media. You see some getting good jobs, traveling abroad, starting businesses. Meanwhile, you’re stuck asking yourself, “When will it be my turn?” The nights feel heavy. The days drag. Your mind keeps running in circles: “Maybe I studied the wrong course. Maybe I’m not good enough. Maybe I’m already behind.” But here’s the truth no one says loudly: you are not alone. Almost everyone goes through this phase — the silent struggle after school. And it doesn’t mean you’ve ...
