한부모 가정| The One with Doc. Peace Uche (Again) – On Thriving with a Single Parent: Episode 26 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:
 
The quality of parents' relationships makes a difference to children in many ways. Unfortunately, some people's behavioral patterns have been influenced by the parent's split or constant conflict. However, my guest in this episode has chosen to focus on the positive and consciously set the negative aside.
Doc Peace Uche was on the show earlier this year, and now she's back to share a more personal and vulnerable story about her growing up. She is a doctor of pharmacy, transformational rhythmic speaker, empowerment guru, and radio show personality.
In this episode, Dr. Peace shares with us how growing up in a single-parent household has shaped her life and shared how she hopes to do things differently. This episode will encourage you and inspire you to lead a forgiving and positive life. We also talked about parents' roles in being more active participants in their children's lives above and beyond marital conflicts.
Doc Peace commented that the episode felt therapeutic; we hope it encourages you as well.

한국의 기독교 종교| The One With Dr. Ayomide Adebayo - On A Deep Exploration of Korean Cults: Episode 24 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:
Just like Korean entertainment, Korean cults are beginning to have a global reach. So much so that I almost got recruited into one, unknowingly! However, these organizations bear semblance with Christianity, thus making it difficult to decipher their ulterior motives at first glance. Hence the name fringe churches To discuss this alarming issue is one of my mentors and fellow geek, Ayomide Adebayo, aka Doc Ayomide.
 
Doc Ayomide is a writer and psychiatrist who’s spent over a decade thinking, writing, and speaking about what it means to be human through the lenses of behavioral psychology, culture, and faith. He has been featured on various Nigerian radio and TV stations, international media, including HuffPost, and invited to speak at a TEDx.
 
In this episode, Doc Ayomide and I talked about why cults exist, their characteristics, the profile of likely victims, and why Koreans especially are susceptible to these organizations. He also differentiated between Christianity and cults, and from his professional experience, advised on how best to support cult victims and preventive measures for non-members.
 
I shared my experience of being almost recruited into one of these Korean cults; listen to get the full details.

Funmi is a pharmacist, widely experienced in clinical and hospital pharmacy practice with over ten years of working experience.

He's an astute and honest businessman with decades of experience in shipping commodities across the world.
