The only way to beat a narcissist is to not engage in their BS. You cannot outsmart them and they don't react logically. Never underestimate how far a narc will take it. Remove their access to you. Your physical, emotional and mental safety are more important than confronting the person who abused you. Topics: mental health, spirituality, abuse, being a survivor
When people want to constantly pick at things that make you feel small, they have found a wound to exploit. Any wound is a portal to remain there bleeding in pain or evolve and heal. Vibrate higher than the wound so it no longer controls you. Topics include: Spirituality and mental health.

Sometimes being a people pleaser prevents you from understanding that the person or people acting entitled to your energy, resources and labor are a danger to you and you need to remove yourself. In this episode I reflect on differentiating between being generous and wanting to help others (emotionally, financially, etc) and having people make you feel obligated to be (overly) generous with them.
A relationship may not have progressed as you would have liked or envisioned, but that doesn't mean that relationship did not serve a purpose in your life. In fact, the true purpose of that relationship was to teach you some wisdom you need to live a more fulfilled life. You may have wanted an eternity but that relationship was only meant to be a lesson.

In this episode I talk about how sometimes a desire to perfect our art projects masks our fear of judgment or criticism. I also celebrate the 10 year anniversary edition of my African Queer novel, For Sizakele (!!!) which you can learn more about on nigeriandykerealness.com or myloveisaverb.com. Our art is meant to be created and shared. Don't hide your brilliance from the world, darling ones.
A little abuse once in awhile? Or no abuse at all? Which do you prefer? When you tolerate a little disrespect, a little shade, a rude comment here or there, you are accepting a little poison. A little poison is still poison. All that little adds up over time. Choose wisely.
