Afiniki's HAPPINESS OVER STRESS Podcast

I wanted to share this one again because I am still discovering the importance of silence, how it can be powerful and can even say more than words sometimes. Please listen and let me know what you think. Are there situations that could have been handled better with silence, or are there situations you have been too silent about? Reflecting can help us choose happiness over stress going forward. Have a good weekend! - Afiniki.co.uk

I am pleased to have Dr Andy Egwim, of Moneywisedoctor.com, again on the podcast with us talking about retirement planning, black tax and more.

The resources mentioned are all available from MoneyWiseDoctor.com. Have a great week! - Afiniki.co.uk

We are in the month of June, but I wanted to share this F.E.B. reflection about balance again, especially after the release of my book, Favourite, Based on the Story of Joseph. As a Christian doctor, I am keen on clarifying that faith does not erase the need for action and work. Whether we are talking about health, finances, family or personal growth, there will be a part we have to play if we want to be successful, and not just wishful thinkers. I hope you find something challenging and encouraging in this episode. Thank you for...

I have been reflecting on the fact that many people are just coasting, especially in midlife. Some are just surviving with no excitement for life, while others are basking in past successes. I am sharing this one again to remind us to think big and dream bigger dreams. There is so much more to life than eating, working, sleeping and paying bills. Listen, and feel free to share your thoughts via Afiniki.co.uk. If you have got tickets to the Mums and Daughters Forte Charity Dinner next month, we will be hearing more about giving back there.

This bonus episode from Jack and Jill (my AI-generated AHOS podcast assistants) is based on Dr Miller's work. It discusses how we can choose happiness over stress even while dealing with chronic illness or other stressful life events. Health is wealth, but what do we do when health is lacking? Happiness over stress is not about denying the realities of life - we can choose to look after our mental wellbeing even in the tough seasons. Resilience is not about toxic positivity during sad or scary times; it is about choosing hope and gratitude even through the tears. Find...

It is a pleasure to have Dr Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim, GP and bestselling author of The Moneywise Doctor with us on the podcast this week.

In this episode, I share a Hausa proverb from my childhood in Northern Nigeria, with a different explanation for our busy lifestyles today. Hausa is spoken in many African countries, and the folk tales from Africa often have important lessons. I am not very good with languages, so feel free to comment and correct my Hausa, if needed. We can choose happiness over stress by being intentional about how we spend our time and resources, counting the long-term cost of any decision and being flexible to change and retrace our steps when we know better. I have also shared...

This is a bonus AI-generated explainer episode based on my Hausa "Samu ya fi iyawa" story in the podcast episode titled User versus Owner.

People are living longer these days (in the western world). We say that time flies, but it can also feel very slow if we are bored. Realising that life will not always be as it is now is wisdom. What are you doing now that your future self will thank you for? We need to be thinking not just about financial investments, but also lifestyle choices and social connections. Please listen and share your thoughts at Afiniki.co.uk. Have a good week!

I was reading some statistics recently about how most podcasts do not make it past the first year or first 20 episodes, and it made me so grateful to still be here!

What does happiness mean to you? Dr Tosin and I are having a relaxed chat in this short clip. What makes you happy? What do YOU want out of life? It is easy to go along with other people's definitions and parameters for a good life, only to look back and realise they were never what you wanted. Take a moment to define what happiness means for you and your family, so you can find the strength to pursue it and the confidence to enjoy it.
