"Life is short" is a phrase commonly used by many, but even with the knowledge of the fact that tomorrow isn't promised, we still tend to feel shaken and unsettled by the sudden losses around us.

What if we really lived life as though tomorrow wasn't promised? What if we stood up to depression and fought suicidal thoughts with faith? What if all the trails life has thrown our way had the potential to save someone another life?

Believing this is possible is a choice, and I'm hopeful this episode will help to encourage at least one person to keep fighting.

Imposter Syndrome is described as an internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be. It's also called "perceived fraudulence", which causes feelings of self-doubt, and personal incompetence despite your education, experience and accomplishments.

It's something that many of us battle with on a daily basis. Whilst I don't have the answers as to why we get these intrusive thoughts, or how to stop them, I do have some great insight and experience in tackling them and keeping them at bay!

In this episode, I share the gems surrounding tackling Imposter Syndrome, and discuss the pros and cons of procrastination and performing under pressure.

Now more than ever, life seems to be "lifing" like it's never lifed before... It's in these moments that we have to remind ourselves to clutch on to our mustard seed of faith, trust that god has a greater plan and keep on keeping on!

If life is beating your A$$ right now, know that you're not alone, you're going through a season and this too shall pass. God promised to work all things together for our good, so please don't lose hope, KEEP GOING!

Many women have experienced the unfortunate and heartbreaking reality of a miscarriage. In fact, according to the NHS, 1 in 8 pregnancies end in miscarriage, but for some reason, the topic is one that is very taboo, and the club is one that a lot women are left feeling guilty and ashamed to be a part of.

In this episode, Nicola speaks with Ruth Afolabi, Founder of Magnify, to unpack her inspiring journey "From Miscarriage to Miracle Baby". We discuss the impact it had on her faith, the importance if having a support network, and the lessons she learned along the way.
