We tell the unexpected stories of women and men living life on their terms, deviating from the memo called 'Life', challenging status quo and being amazing at it. The podcast series starts off with Yemi telling her own stories and mentoring listeners on ways in which they can create their own version of the memo.
We take conversations from the couch to the office and speak to women who chose career over children, men who struggle with balancing 'work' and 'family'. Daring to be vulnerable in the work place and having the audacity to dream BIG. We discuss a story I know all too well of the single parent working hard to provide for their family and chasing the dream.
This podcast is for the individual and the Coporate world, reminding you to Live Life on Your Terms.
Yemi starts the series with a brief introduction on her journey and drastic deviation from the memo when she fell pregnant and was homeless.

Pandemonium with Dr Kudzai
I haven't girl crushed this hard in ages! Speaking to Dr Kudzai was like Christmas coming early and Oprah inviting me into her garden all at once.
The COVID pandemic has filled us with so much fear and mis-information. Dr Kudzai not only showed up with #blackexcellence, she came with compassion, shift in perspective, hope and a clear call to action.
One of my favourite guests of 2021! -
What the PMDD?
I had no idea what PMDD meant until I spoke to Adriana Tantau, a fearless woman who has been open and vulnerable talking about the condition called 'Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder'
You want to listen to this if you identify as a woman and especially if you are a man.
Knowing this changed my perspective and that my friend is what 'Transformation' is. -
