In this episode of Renew, Recharge, Reconnect: My Podcast Comeback, I’m diving into what it means to take a step back, recharge, and reconnect with your wellness journey after a pause. It's been a year since I last recorded, and during that time, I've learned so much about the importance of self-care, reflection, and the power of a fresh start.

Follow and subscribe to Love Laid Bare, I'd really appreciate it ;  )

In this episode, Dionne of Love Laid Bare is joined by Akeem to discuss his community building work in Uganda and why he had to leave the UK behind.

Having been failed by the UK police force, the NHS and his job, Akeem escaped the U.K to start a new life in East Africa to preserve his own wellbeing as well those less fortunate.

Akeem is currently raising money to provide food and activities for orphans and families within his local village.  A small £10 donation could help a family provide the basics for food for a month.  We appreciate that things are tight for everyone right now, but anything that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome back to a new episode of Still Figuring It Out by host Rachel @roseysconvo (follow on Instagram).

Is the 'independent woman' trope a farce and are women truly independent whilst in a marriage or committed relationship?  Has society downplayed the relevance of men and their roles within the home?
