As the year comes to a close, this episode of Fairyqueen Talks is a space for reflection, honesty, and grounding.

In this reflection, I share the lessons 2025 taught me about how hostile situations reveal underlying issues, why protecting your mental health must come before making things easier for others, and how reclaiming control over your thoughts can change everything.

I also reflect on the connection between the body and the mind as we age, navigating physical challenges with patience and resilience, and how focusing on what you can control helps you regain power in moments of uncertainty.

This episode is a reminder that opportunities don’t always come in the form we expect—sometimes they arrive as growth, healing, or deeper self-awareness. Set goals you can be proud of. Choose abundance. Be bold. Control the narrative of your life.

✨ A gentle but powerful way to close out the year.

By no means is this reflective piece giving any spoilers to the brilliant show Dreaming Whilst Black. This episode reflect on the lessons we can learn from the main character Kwabena Robinson as we pursue our dreams with hint of Fairyqueen wisdom and motivation to help you in whatever state you find yourself.

Keke Palmer’s work and interview have inspired me to discuss the topic of reframing and self-regulation on today's episode. I want to exemplify how reframing can help us thrive and allow us to tap us into our greatness. I also want to recognise that life experiences have a way of moving both or moods and feeling into different directions. And when this becomes overwhelming it is essential we manage to self regulate as a means to remain balanced and have a clear state of mind.

On today's episode I would like to discuss the concept of time. I want to explore the value time holds by exploring common phrases we hear about time and what it can mean to us, how it could add value to the time we exist in this world. .

On today's episode I would like to discuss the goodness we possess inside and how we can contribute our skills, talents and dare I say joy as a form of resisting the bad and contribute to the collective good.

In this episode I want to explore the concept of rule of thirds, in an effort to help you manage the expectations you place on yourself. When practicing this concept, you will find it easier to deal with and process bad moments. Should you find that the rule of thirds is not your experience, and you experience more bad moments than good ones, then I would encourage you to seek support.

On this episode I explore the concept of pausing goals and delve into the principle of self improvement 1% at a time. This episode speaks to all those who have had to prioritise life over goals and hopefully encourage to gain a different perspective on having to pause on your goals.
