Having children earlier or later... is there ever a "right" time?

In our latest episode, we get into the realities of life in your 30s, and Vanessa shares why she's become more pro having children earlier, from recovery and energy levels to thinking about retirement and raising a family.

Of course, everyone's journey is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all. But it's a conversation worth having.

🎙️Your 30s: What We Ordered vs What We Got 🎙️

We've been away for a little while, but we wanted to share this bonus episode we've had sitting in the archives for your weekend listening.

If you're approaching your 30s, living through them, or wondering what's ahead, then this one's for you.

We chat about the expectations we all have going into our 30s versus what life actually looks like. Careers, money, relationships, purpose and family. It's an honest conversation about embracing change, learning to pivot, and not measuring your life against everyone else's timeline.

🎙️ Detty December: A Missed Opportunity for Nigeria? 🎙️

$9,350 for 11 nights in Lagos Nigeria! 🫠🫨.

In this episode, we break down the realities of Detty December in Lagos- from the rising costs to the very real infrastructure challenges that come with it.

We get into accommodation prices, concerts, poor planning, and whether Nigeria’s tourism sector is actually prepared for the influx of visitors each festive season. We also compare Nigeria’s approach to tourism with other West African countries and question whether “vibes” can really sustain long-term growth.

So, is Detty December a win for Nigeria? or a missed opportunity? Let’s get into it.
