Breaking barriers to living fully, loving abundantly and being all that you were created to be is at the core of what Girl Unlimited is about

And my guest today is an embodiment of that core

Bola Obileye puts the word ‘multi-talented or ‘multi-creative’ to shame. She is a singer, songwriter, fashion eccentric with her own clothing line, an MC, brand specialist, business owner with her own product line and the list goes on and on

She was also on the just concluded Gordon Ramsey’s Future Food Stars on BBC

We speak about some of the many pots she has her hands in including being the award-winning founder of Jitterbug apple cider vinegar which is a gut health friendly soft drink alternative

Oh And guess what? Jitterbug recently won a huge nationwide listing across 630 Holland and Barrett Stores in the UK and  30 stores in Ireland!

Well, we talk about all this as well as how she manages to fit everything in and yet manages to find time to sleep let alone be a wife and mom :)

I know I say it all the time because I truly truly love all my guests but I am sure you are in for another treat today. Thank you in advance for listening!

I read a social media post recently on how a lot of the failed music artists were mostly women. Women who were probably even more talented than their male counterparts. But life happened and they ended up falling behind

In fact, one particular commenter who I assume is a music producer talked about losing count of the number of women who had met with him to discuss “reviving their music careers”

Now I know this post was focusing on women in music. But it got me thinking about the women- from different fields and interests- that I personally know too who feel behind in their lives.

I have been there myself and I know how this feeling messes with your motivation and impacts your ability to move forward

This is what we’ll be discussing in today's solo episode- What do you do when you feel like you are behind in life?

It is vulnerable and most of the time a little scary if not totally scary. And no one knows this better than my guest in today’s episode, Music artist manager Loretta Andrews

I first met Loretta a few years ago while she worked as a radio broadcaster. She was host of the Unsigned show a show dedicated to showcasing independent artists

She also used to put up these live unsigned shows one or two of which I attended

As a fallout of the success of her 'Unsigned' radio show and live events, Loretta was repeatedly asked to manage artists. Something she always declined due to time pressures until 2015 when she took on the challenge and founded Safe Music management drawing from her own experience as a singer- a signed artist for that matter- and her passion for supporting artists in their journey toward their dreams

We briefly discuss how she came about calling her company Safe Music management, as well as her work with I, Am Independent, a platform she co-founded with singer-songwriter Bianca Rose. I am Independent provides resources, support and encouragement to Independent artists through a podcast, workshops and an online Bootcamp.

It was interesting to hear her thoughts on being a woman of colour in a male-dominated industry and you ladies know that that’s the stuff we at Girl Unltd like to gobble up!

This was a sweet and easy listening interview with the music veteran and artist champion that is Loretta Andrews and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it

If you’ve listened to The Girl Unlimited Podcast for any length of time then you’d know how much we dislike barriers and stereotypes. Nothing wrong with barriers if it is keeping negativity and danger away.

But if it is blocking your next level or your ‘more’ then sorry not sorry, it has to go!

But sadly many people don’t even know why they are being held back. Is it fear? What kind of fear and why does it have such a hold?

Is it a lack of clarity of where they are, where they are going, what they want and why they want it?

These questions don’t even occur to many of us as we are living day to day, month to month and year to year on autopilot

That just won’t do. Fulfilling purpose and having a meaningful life don’t happen by chance. YOU didn’t just happen by chance and you were created to live a life of purpose and meaning

That’s why we are talking about journaling today: What it is. Why it is such a good practice to start if you haven’t already and why in my opinion it is one of success’ best-kept secret

I had the immense pleasure of interviewing music producer and songwriter Litening earlier in the year.

People today know her as this multi-talented music creative but little do they know that in her other lives she was a language major, professional athlete and even an editor and journalist working with some of the big time celebrities of our day

But her rich multifaceted persona is why she is the well-rounded and extremely talented artist, music producer, singer and songwriter she is known to be today

This was such a fun interview and Kat is wise as she is hilarious!

I invite you to catch a glimpse into the life of the hardworking, grounded and well-rounded creative that is Litening

If you’re anything like me then feeling stuck is not new to you.

In fact, you’re probably feeling stuck right now whether that is in a job (or business) you hate, a relationship that you feel you can’t leave or just feeling stuck or stagnant in life in general

In tomorrow’s episode, we’ll be discussing the reasons you may be feeling stuck and a few things you can do to get unstuck

As usual, I draw lessons from my personal life and advice from renowned experts

I also talk about why getting therapy might just be the solution you seek

Back in Episode 19, I talked about one of the ways to rediscover your dreams was to ‘follow the envy’…(If you haven’t listened to that episode I suggest definitely checking it out :))

Anyways, imagine my surprise when my guest in today's episode talked about jealousy (or in my words envy) being one of the ways she discovered her dream and passion for writing

Well, she certainly hit her sweet spot squarely because as of today Dayo Benson is an accomplished Amazon Bestselling author with over 50 novels under her belt and is still going strong

From sweet contemporary romance (which is my favourite fiction genre by the way) to gritty romantic thrillers, Dayo is passionate about using fiction to convey powerful messages about redemption and God's love

Dayo has been a full-time author since 2016- a much-coveted position for a lot of authors

We talk about everything from her early attempts at writing whilst studying molecular biology at Uni to her transition to the full-time author with a young family in tow.

We even talk of how she wrote one novel almost one-handed because her baby at the time didn’t want to be put down!

This is a rare opportunity- for not just aspiring authors but for anyone dreaming of designing their life around their art- to glean from the experience of a successful self-publishing author who rarely grants interviews so we’re truly fortunate to have Dayo on the podcast this week
