Fridays With iTote

This Episode is a deep one. 

After listening to my guest, speak about her mental health issue... I was broken.
Many people, who are suffering from mental health issues, are scared of you calling them names. They are battling with the disorder as well as the rejection from the society. Many speak about it and end up being told, "cheer up, and you will be fine", as if being uncheerful is the cause of depression.
Many say take it to the Lord in prayers, but I say, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." They need God as well as a doctor, therapist, counselor and a society that understand that mental health is an important part of life. 

Don't be shocked, we all have the possibility of having a mental health issue, we just find ways to manage it better than our next neighbor.
Are you saying God forbids? Okay, evaluate yourself, then be sincere with your evaluation before making a conclusion.
Hey! You have been managing it well and that your friend hasn't been able to manage it well because he or she doesn't have the tools available to you or can't make proper use of the tools. Before you call him or her mad, ask yourself, am I also normal? Mental Health is a Priority, take it SERIOUSLY! 

There is this thing called Depression, it is real. It is a mental health disorder. People having it, most times, cannot explain how they are feeling. They just know something isn't right somewhere and somehow or anyhow. Many have lost their minds to this, many are already experiencing a serious psychiatric problem because they have been hiding it.
You might be wondering why will you hide it when you know it is injurious to your whole being.
Many hide it because you and me judge them and attribute spiritual meaning to it.

Listen to this episode. It is a great conversation with a great woman who has been depressed for over 25 years, took her more than 15 years of her life to understand what was really happening to her. She finally got help after almost 20 years in depression.
Has the help been effective? How has the society been treating her? Has she come to accept her mental health disorder? These and many more were revealed on this episode. You should listen!

The Conversation Continues...

Dear Listener,   This episode is the second part of last week's episode. I had an extensive talk with Joshua O. Toluremi, a 22 year old young man who took up the responsibility of taking care of himself, his parents and future at the age of 18. We talked on 'What Have You Purposed In Your Heart?' It is in three different parts, as he poured out a lot for younger and older generations. It is surely a life changing discussion which you should not miss. Click on the play button now to listen to his life story as a young teenager who left his parents' house in search of a better life. He has found a better place since he left home and he is not about to stop his search for the best place.  Do not forget to get back to me via Email on itoteifedayo@gmail.com , Twitter @fridayswithitot or Instagram @fridayswithitote    I look forward to your response.  With love, iTote.

On this episode, I talked on using your pain as fuel in fulfilling your purpose. 

The story of Dr. Adeola Olubamiji was the narration of the day as I read out her story titled, "With 700 Euros I Made My Way To Finland".
This is an episode you don't want to miss.
It is a new series and get ready to listen to great people talk about their path to fulfilling purpose in subsequent episodes.

Some people need MENTORING
Some need COACHING
Some need MOTIVATION

What do you need?

2022 is two weeks gone, oh you know too, what happened to those dreams, goals, visions, etc. you have outlined?

Have you forgotten you have 2021 goals yet to be achieved? Hey don’t abandon them, you need to work on them too. Finish with one before to start another. Don’t be intimidated. Pressure is allowed when it is the positive pressure. 

Living an Intentional Life. 

You don’t need a perfect life, what you need is a purposeful life. 

Get your wheels of life back and ‘start the work’! 

Now is the right time!

A 6 minutes plus talk on that spectacular, great and powerful thing, which is beyond me and every listener out there, the number one thing, God's Mercy.
It will be very good if you listen to it as you will never feel the same way you were before listening to it.

This episode is exclusively about me as I answered questions that will give you, the listener, a closer understanding of the person with the voice behind Fridays With iTote...

You get to know so many things about me and my person.

It is my Christmas present to you all.

Merry Christmas and have lots of fun 

A very special episode with Mr. Idowu Ayeni, the founder of Ayeni Idowu Sickle Cell Foundation.

Mr. Idowu is a graduate of Building Technology from the prestigious Federal University of Technology, Akure, (FUTA), and he was discovered to be a sickle cell warrior at the age of 3. Since then he has been going through a lot of health challenges as a result of the genetic inherited disease.

Also do not forget to listen to other episodes I have and always come back every Friday at 5pm to listen to new episode.

Thank you 

This episode is on how to limit your challenges so they do not limit you.

Few tips on how to overcome challenges that life throws at you were dropped.

I have faced different challenges before and I believe everyone has challenges to face or has faced. 

You are not alone in any challenge you are going through, it is how you face it that matters.

I hope you enjoy and learn something new. 

Love & Light. 

This episode is a conversation with Victor James .W., we talked about the willingness, necessity and benefits of self-improvement.

This episode is what you cannot afford to ignore as the content is on 100%.

You have to be outstanding so as to stand out amongst your peers.

Due to feedbacks from the last episode on acquiring knowledge and to be consistent in doing so,

I decided to publish this episode because of people who complained that as much as they really love to acquire knowledge by reading, they are however faced with the big issue of procrastination. This is not a strange thing as even people with great accomplishments have procrastinated before. 

There are different types of procrastinators and each face different challenges and can only come out of that phase or place if the right solution is implemented.

In this episode I spoke generally about Procrastination and also recommended a book which was a big help to me.

I hope you listen and send your comments or suggestions. Do not forget to listen to the first episode if you have not. Thank You!!!
