I shared thirty things I’d love to do this November (in this post here) and one of them was listen to more podcasts, learn more from the episodes and ultimately make some little changes to my habits along the way.

These are some episodes that I loved listening to:

• Mens’ Mental Health: Eli and Oscar, engage in a conversation on mental health with Psychologist, Aldo Aluoch Olunya. Podcast: Man Talk KE
• Dr. Gabor Mate talks on Understanding Trauma and how to heal emotional wounds with Jay Shetty. Podcast: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

There is something soothing about listening to podcasts that I did not take time to appreciate and reflect on because I would listen while cleaning the house, doing dishes as long as I didn’t give it my full attention. This month I am more intentional. I listen and take notes (this is something I can’t stop lately) and ask myself whether something shared is true of me or my experiences and I love this feeling.

There are some new podcasts that were recommended by Valery Nangula, via her post 3 Podcasts by African Women to Listen To and I subscribed to two of them:

• It’s Related, I Promise by Muthoni Muchira, Julia Gaitho and Sharon Machira
• Wisdom and Wellness by Mpoomy Ledwaba

Have a great week and I look forward to sharing updates on my NanoWrimo progress because that is a whole story right there.
