In this episode I break down the complexities of dating in today's world and discuss why some men are deciding to become passport bros traveling to third world countries in search of more "traditional women". While women are getting educated, working hard and finding few men that meet their standards and are therefore choosing to remain single. I break down my opinion on what both men and women are doing wrong and how they can change their mindset and become more successful on the dating market.

In this episode I talk about divorce in Nigerian society and the controversial opinions that some people still hold on it. Too many of our grand mothers and aunties are still giving very unhelpful and toxic advice that will no doubt end with women getting hurt or worse. Times have changed and its time for women to start thinking critically and rationally when it comes to relationships. In this episode I also give my reaction to a recent video posted on YouTube by the Cruise channel entitled "Marriage Till Death Do Us Part? " Link to the episode: "Should MARRIAGE Be Till Death Do Us Part?": https://youtu.be/9_nCXGO4y3o?si=K1XYqPSSHW4fCp9Q Please let me know your thoughts and please subscribe to the podcast! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/candles-and-shadows/message

I recently heard a dating coach by the name of Alison Wellington advising black women to avoid long distance dating because of it's likelihood of failure. I was instantly triggered because as an African American woman that made the decision to date long distance (New York/ Germany), someone like myself might never have ever gotten married and had a family had I not taken the bold step in placing myself in a location where I was seen as a preimum woman. In this episode I unpack my feelings around this subject and explain why I think some dating coaches are wrong for discouraging black women from exploiting (for some) potentially the only avenue left to find love.

Apparently all of the things that we as women have been told about focusing on getting a good education, securing a good career, and striving for success have done nothing but put us in an impossible situtation when it come to mating. What we value in our personal achievements means absolutley nothing to men in the dating market. To them what matters is youth and beauty. Women on the other hand are simply not willing to settle for men that are less educated and lower earners. To them a man is not worth partnering with if he isnt at least her equal or higher in education and earning power. Is this true? What are your thoughts on that? In this episode I offer my thoughts as well as possible solutions to this mess that modern daters find themselves in!

As much as we are told to focus on building a professional network, no one ever told us what to do when that network fails us. What happens when the people and connections that you have cultivated over the years, all run for the hills and ghost you when you become pregnant or have children? How do you continue to grow your brand as a business or even find a new job?In this episode I talk about what I have personally been experiencing professionally as a mother of two, and how I am handling the challenges of being professionally stranded.
