The Cure for Consumerism

Happpyyyyyy New Year people!🎉🎉🎉 It's a new year and I'm(we're) pumped to be sharing the first episode of Construed for 2024. I featured Oreoluwa Abdullai Enahoro in this episode as she shared on New beginnings and calculated risks. We discussed the privilege of a fresh start that a new affords, and how we can stay grounded in our goals through the year, even if we started off the steam of others or the euphoria of the new year. I believe you'd learn a lot in this episode as it was with one of the wisest people I know.

In this episode of Construed, I shared on how we can redefine self-love for ourselves and not get carried away by popular culture. So, I'm asking what is the greatest expression of self-love? For me, I'll say self-mastery. Pls, feel free to send audio messages or a DM on how helpful you've found this episode or any feedback you might have for me here on ⁠⁠Twitter ⁠⁠or ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.

Are all our heroes frauds? In this episode of Construed, I talk about meeting your heroes and the unrealistic expectations we have of strangers. Celebrity status does not bestow wisdom, so in choosing our mentors we must choose wisely. We must also not inherit the dogmas of our heroes when we meet them. It's okay to accept people in parts. To the best week of our lives yet. Please feel free to send a DM on how helpful you've found this episode or any feedback you might have for me here on ⁠⁠Twitter ⁠⁠or ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.

Hi people, in this episode I spoke about how hard work is perceived differently across generations and how our goals should decide how hard we work and not our emotions or public opinion. As we go into a new week, pls keep in mind that hard work is relative and only your goals can dictate how hard you should work.

Heyyyooo People!!!! Been a minute! Yeah I know, I've been busy (getting hitched**wink**wink**). So in this episode, I spoke about consumerism and the need to break free from it. I also touched on the importance of differentiating between our needs and our wants. Lastly, I made a short explanation on the different kinds of happiness and how this might impact how we approach consumerism. I hope you find this episode helpful. See you next week.

Have you ever failed and felt so betrayed? Almost like you gave it your best, but it was not enough. Then you ask yourself, how much is actually enough? In this episode of Construed, I shared a personal lesson from failure, how to rise above the shame of failure, and how it can be seen as a stepping stone. I explained how failing forward can be seen as an iterative process to get results and succeed. I hope this episode helps anyone who has ever struggled with the fear of failure.

Labels are lazy in most cases. And I have come to the personal conclusion that people who look for readymade philosophies, thought processes, and human experiences are very quick to take on labels. In this short episode, 'Tunji Enahoro spoke on labels and why we must be intentional with the labels we take on.

Is privilege always monetary? Are there non-monetary privileges? In this episode, I spoke on our peculiar problems—challenges that are specific to each individual—and how our privileges balance things out on the scale of our existence. How shining and being our most valuable self is a product of our individual privileges prevailing over our peculiar problems. And what exactly makes up the responsibility of our privilege?

In this episode, I talked about the 80/20 rule and it can be used to deal with procrastination and perfectionism. How the seemingly little decisions or tasks make up for most of our outcomes. If you have ever struggled with prioritising your list of task or decision, the 80/20 principle is great framework to adopt.
