Mercy’s Spot The Podcast

I'm shaking in my boots! There's nothing more traumatic (after healing wounds you didn't create lol) than doing it scared! Tune in as I take a moment to divulge the reality that comes with choosing LIFE. Because once you choose better, life becomes more than just cute journals and affirmations, it bottles down to the moment where you have to start...oh and did I mention I thought being born again, saved and sanctified meant I get to start from scratch! Starting afresh is a myth, the day you decide to start doing better- the first guests at your door will be the mistakes and decisions you made that you've been running from and haven't accounted for. But hey... better that than a life half lived!

I'm back and I'm on fire! (I think lol) Tune in and listen to how Mercy is rewriting my life and what's in store for the podcast going forward. It's a new season, years ago (2021!) you guys knew my podcast as JAAW (Just another African woman) then it became Sunday Vibez with Queen M now here we are: Mercy's Spot. The meaning behind this rebrand is very intimate and personal but let's get into it together as I embark on this rebrand curated by God.

Why can’t we just bloom where we are planted or better yet go where we are watered! Oh I wish it were that easy to navigate the nuances of life. More often than not we’re a victim of circumstance and sometimes of lack within self… let’s navigate the reality of life in blunt honesty. Is it really that easy to do better… or better yet to find better? It is not everyday that we have the privilege to do either… what do we do then ?

In this episode I’m dissecting imposter syndrome- what it is & what it isn’t too! As we get to understand this syndrome together I will also be sharing my 3 step formula which I believe helps combat this state of being. Tune in and enjoy! The agenda is to eventually get to a place where we constantly operate at our highest form of self and live within the vision we have for our lives!

Today on Women in business , we’re talking to the lovely Founder & Owner Of Masoka Creations. How we met is actually a hilarious story lol but join us as we talk about her journey from wanting to enter the fashion industry to becoming a shop owner and selling high value plus size clothing and making her mark in this industry

A new series. 2 generations-mother and daughter sharing a moment of understanding and friendship- together with our listeners! So get to know my mother in this first episode, I guess now she’s our mother! #grateful

Everytime I am reminded that I’m going on 30 soon I panic- cause listen how am I counted amongst the grownups🥴I barely know what I’m doing. Let’s talk about it- adulting is exhausting! You invest in your education only to be paid less than your rent- that time some people also have black tax. You have good intentions only to be hurt in these streets and wait a minute...medical aid, life insurance and the works- faints*. We’re supposed to have it all figured out but is it safe to say I’m not the only one still figuring it out? In this episode I’m real about life and of course close up with a positive affirming energy because after everything is said and done- we’ve got this!

It is sad just how much of an affliction comparison has become. Today I’m going to focus on it from a different angle. Mostly comparison is referred to as the affliction that comes from being saddened by what others have that you do not. Yet rarely do we realize the endless days we waste whilst copying other people’s ways of doing life- be it business wise, religion or even in love. We sometimes believe that if we do it in the way that those we look up to did, we will be guaranteed to succeed. Then we encounter great defeats when even the formulas of our mentors and those we admire fail to work for us. We forget that each person has their own path- there is no formula to life. You must find your own way and may even have to constantly revisit your vision board because as humans we plan but life also happens along the way.

This is an introduction episode into a new Series! Let’s talk relationships- and everything about them ups and downs of it all. Today outside of opening up about my own abandonment issues...I’m talking in depth about a certain type of situationship that reflects abandonment issues, Daddy issues (or mommy 🤷🏾‍♀️)- trauma bonds, wound mates and soul mates. Listen it’s deeper than it seems but there’s no situation that can’t be handled - or left😂.

This is a new mini-series! Let’s talk about the growing pains we experience as we maneuver our early 20’s into mid to late 20’s. This adulting stuff doesn’t come with a memo you know! I’m joined by Shimonè who was my best friend since I was 18. We’ve been through a lot together and today we scrape the surface of our friendship roots. We open up about how a friendship can make or break you, we loved each other so much and yet we suffocated each other so much. We were each other’s anchor, comfortable with taking turns to drown so one of us can come up for air. Friendships can make or break you. Today we open up about the reality of it all, and how having individual identities is key when building a bond. Friendship breakups can hurt more than relationship breakups sometimes, we broke up and didn’t talk for 2 years. Only to find our way back to each other, more mature , healed and accountable and now we look back and laugh, realizing how life has brought us into a complete circle. So we have decided to share these lessons with you in this new mini- series. Two women of color sharing their life experiences together- in different parts of the world. We hope you appreciate and respect our vulnerability and honesty as much as we appreciate you listening to us❣️.
