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.

If resilience and strength were a person, it would be my dear cousin, Sola Adewumi, a woman who is chasing her dreams against all odds.
Sola is a mum of two who is currently studying for her nursing degree in Canada. In this episode, she opened up about battling with failure, the several low moments she has experienced, and the invaluable lessons they have taught her. She also talked about her relocation to Canada and the behind-the-scenes information on transitioning to nursing from digital marketing in a foreign land!
In this episode, we explore our childhood traumas and their impact on adulthood, being cousins, how Sola’s rare, genetic eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa (an eye disease that causes progressive vision loss) – greatly affected her education, and making a career switch from digital marketing to nursing. Sola took the IELTS examination nine times before getting her desired score! Listen to find out what she did differently on her final attempt. Perhaps you are struggling with failure, this is an episode to encourage you to keep going on.
PS: Because of the nature of our relationship, this episode with my cousin contains some dark humor and outright ridiculousness that might be uncomfortable to some listeners. But it’s all in good jest – and just what you do as cousins!
PPS: Using this episode to generate awareness for retinitis pigmentosa. As of the time of this recording, there’s yet to be a cure for this debilitating disease. If you will like to read more about it and lend some support, click here: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/retinitis-pigmentosa/
