Gratitude in Dark Moments - A Survivor’s Story with Eden A. Onwuka 58:40

منذ 4 years58:40

58:40

In this inspiring and transforming episode with Eden A. Onwuka (MBA), a John Maxwell Certified Relationship and Mindset Coach, fondly called ‘The Sage’, there are valuable lessons for everyone! With delicate depth, she shares on the power of gratitude in dark times, and the potent force of affirmations for different facets of life. Highlights include: Familiarity with the normal look, appearance and feel of your breast helps you notice any change and promptly report it to your doctor. Developing emotional mastery by having a frank and uplifting inner dialogue with yourself, taking control of your emotions in difficult situations. “Your perspective determines your narrative and what you magnify will grow." “There is a magnetism in gratitude. Gratitude is like a seed that calls forth other seeds." “If you dare to count your blessings, you will realise that they are uncountable.” Discovering your buddy who may be someone who you may or may not be in direct contact with, and having a ‘buddy image’ involves drawing inspiration from other patients/survivors, “whose stories will infuse you with hope." “[Your] body is important, but it's an external encasing of the real you." “You are more than body parts!" "I gave God my scars and He called me flawless." Eden A. Onwuka is a Spiritual Strategic Business Leader committed to helping women build healthy relationships, through mindset and emotional mastery practices. She is a John Maxwell Certified Relationship and Mindset Coach, trained in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Matrix Reprinting, and the founder of “A Woman and Half” USA. She describes herself as a woman driven by the sole purpose of seeing more women, become driven by purpose. She holds a degree in Communication and a Masters in Business Administration. While studying in Boston, she took leadership classes in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability at Harvard. Her robust corporate experience spans 17 years in financial consulting, with a brief stint in community relations in the energy sector. She currently holds a Small Business Consultant position with a leading Fortune 500 company in Texas. She is a 3-time Author of "The Power of a Single Story", "Re-igniting Hope" and “A Woman and Half Affirmations”. Eden lives in Texas with her husband and beautiful children, whom she fondly calls her 'Shades of Grace'. Having survived cancer in 2017, she considers herself a recipient of God’s mercy and encourages others to ‘shame their shame’, by owning their unusual stories. She is the recipient of several awards, including the “Exceptional Women of Excellence” award presented to her in Cairo, Egypt, in 2020, and a sought-after global speaker who has spoken on stages in different continents.

Igniting the Strength in Community – A Survivor’s Story with Olanrewaju Temitayo Lasisi 48:07

منذ 4 years48:07

48:07

In this inspiring episode, I have a heartfelt chat with Olanrewaju Temitayo Lasisi, an entrepreneur, as she shares on her experiences, during and after her cancer treatment, and on how she summoned up the courage to navigate the process. There is no manual for going through the cancer journey, especially as a single parent. Her story shows the strength of community and its important role in supporting recovery. You will learn: It is crucial to prioritise your health screening appointments, either annual screening, cancer screening, or other health checks available where you live. No act of true kindness is too small when done in love. There are several ways to provide support even when conversations seem difficult such as sending short messages (“Hey! I’m thinking of you”), a meal, a visit, links to songs, financial aid, a hug, help with grocery shopping or chores, saying a prayer, a smile etc. “...For [my] mental health just that phone call, just that “hello” kept me going, it kept me going…” “It doesn’t matter what you do, just reach out...” Carers may be the children, relatives or friends and they need to be supported. ”Let’s not take it for granted that the carers or children are okay…” Identifying and accessing the available resources or aids for people going through the cancer treatment helps alleviate the burden. If you lift up your hands, people can reach out to support you. “You don’t realise [that] people are there for you until you speak out”. Olanrewaju Temitayo Lasisi is an entrepreneur and the founder of TLB (Totally Liberated), a non-profit which she set up as a result of her own health journey. She holds two Bachelor’s degrees with honours – a degree in English from Lagos State University (1988) and a Business Degree at the University of Luton now University of Bedfordshire UK (1998). A breast cancer survivor herself, she also coaches on grief and trauma, and in her own words, her journey and survival has centred around her faith in God. She’s a mother and single parent to three awesome daughters ages 29, 26 and 20 years old. Her passion is to continue to raise awareness on both breast and prostate cancer, and to let the African society know that with the right treatment and support they can survive cancer. She likes to share her journey with others to build a community of ‘Totally Liberated’ minds.

Faith and Medicine with Dr Jonathan Oloyede 30:50

منذ 4 years30:50

30:50

In this episode, I chat with Dr Jonathan Oloyede, a medical doctor and leader of City Chapel, UK, as he expounds on the role of faith in medicine. This topic attracts varying opinions and the perceived mutually exclusive choice, between seeking medical help and faith-based healing, has been cited as a barrier to the early detection of breast cancer. Highlights of our conversation include: “Medicine [often times] has to do with our physical well-being while faith has to do with our spiritual well-being. We are not to exclude both worlds in a way that they don't overlap” 4:35 “Faith is able to accommodate practical action. That's why the bible states ‘faith without works is dead’, there are practical things that we are supposed to do physically” 5:01 “…people will apply medical procedures to something like hitting their foot against [a] nail, or if their wife was pregnant, would take [her] to the hospital to give birth, … All these are medical procedures that are natural, and are given to us by God.” 6:44 Why do people draw a line between some medical procedures and others? “… your ability to put your faith in God, whether He's able to use medicine, or not, elevates your faith above just the benefits of healing.” 21.31 “… don't say I'm not using medicine, and then your cancer gets worse, and don't impose that on somebody else.” 23:49 “… Faith and medicine are not mutually exclusive.” 28:25 Dr Jonathan Oloyede, MB ChB, was born in Britain and raised in Nigeria. Dr Oloyede is a medical doctor by profession and currently serves as a full-time apostolic missionary to the United Kingdom and Europe. In 1991 while on a three-month holiday in London, he responded to the call to Europe. He was subsequently ordained into Pastoral Ministry in 1993 and has served full-time for 28 years. His overriding passion is to raise a global network of one million disciples of Christ across the continents and nations and to see the vision of Jesus fulfilled through the Great Commission and Great Commandments to love God and all people. Dr Jonathan is the leader of City Chapel and the Convener of the National Day of Prayer UK which saw hundreds of thousands pray across multiple locations and stadiums in Britain. As a regular radio and TV personality, he is a well-known leader, writer and spokesperson across all church streams including the Black Majority Churches, Historic Churches, South Korean Churches and the Charismatic/Evangelical community. He is a popular events speaker at conferences across the nation and internationally. He is blissfully married to Abbiih and lives in Kent, England with his two children. He is a sports enthusiast and can be illogical in matters relating to Manchester United.
