What happens when your passion slowly turns into survival? After three years away from the microphone, Tobare begins unpacking one of the biggest reasons behind her absence. In this deeply personal episode, she reflects on the burnout that changed her life, the realities of toxic Nigerian work culture, and how constantly proving your worth can leave you questioning it altogether. This isn't just a conversation about long hours or difficult workplaces. It's about gaslighting, emotional exhaustion, the lack of empathy many employees experience, and the moment she realized that choosing herself wasn't giving up, it was necessary. If you've ever tied your value to productivity, struggled with workplace burnout, or wondered why so many people normalize unhealthy work environments, this episode is for you.

Family is important, and some of the most important moments of our lives happen there. Not everyone in our family is like us, morally and ethically speaking. We can also love them and still distance ourselves from them. Oftentimes, the people closest to us have beliefs that we don’t advocate for. It may be a simple disagreement in opinion. Occasionally, it may be drastically different beliefs. The best thing you can do is to distance yourself from this person and spend time with people who make you feel loved and encouraged. But when they are family, it might be a bit more challenging. It's not your village people oh, you just might be giving them unnecessary power!
