In today's episode, Tolu Agbelusi speaks with Emily Kwok, a world class Brazillian Juijitsu champion, entrepreneur and artist. This is a conversation that explores the importance of the stories we tell ourselves, how we navigate the ages and stages of life, making space for others without neglecting yourself, martial arts as self expression and life metaphor and so much more.

Emily has a great podcast called 'The Master and the Apprentice' - which is worth a listen - find it here.

In today's episode, Tolu Agbelusi speaks with historian and writer Marius Kothor
in a conversation that explores silence, reconstructing strength, choosing when to do hard things and deconstructing the notion that womanhood should be synonymous with struggle. We also discuss the iconic Nana Benz.

In today's episode I'm contemplating rest by looking back on old interview snippets from days before the podcast when the conversations became medium articles. In addition to my voice, you'll also be hearing from:

Gaylene Gould
Jemilea Wisdom Baako
Iyabo Agbelusi (My mother)

Links to the medium articles with their interviews are below:

From A Mountain to A Flower - Gaylene Gould
Choose Who You Want to Be - Jemilea Wisdom-Baako
Why Be A Repressed Human Being When You Can Be Free?- Iyabo Agbelusi

The Question is How do you rest in a way that transcends the physical? Unlearning Strongwoman is all about rest- perharps not explicitly so; but by encouraging you to engage with introspection and beginning or continuing the process of identifying and unlearning traits that no longer serve you, the hope is that you walk mor and more into your true self where you are truly at peace - at rest.
