In this week's episode, we're delighted to be joined by a familiar presence on the show. A warm welcome to our new listeners as well! We're pleased to reintroduce Doc. Ayomide, a SENIOR colleague and friend. For those who may not have had the pleasure of acquainting themselves with him, Dr. Ayomide is a psychiatrist and formerly served as a co-host on the podcast!
We deeply dive into a subject that has captured our attention on multiple occasions: the intricate art of community building. Our discussion centers on the intricate art of community building, prompted by an enlightening podcast episode titled "How To Not Go It Alone" by Julie Beck and Rebecca Rashid. Drawing parallels to Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," we explore community building.
Our dialogue expands to encompass the intricate tapestry of cultures that shape our society. We candidly recount our encounters with culture shock after transitioning from Nigeria to the UK (for him) and from Nigeria to the USA (for me). We also delve into the captivating nuances of acceptable behaviors across different racial groups. Moreover, I share some of the enlightening perspectives I've gained through my experiences with community building as a new mother.
As we end our show, we delve into the concepts of openness and directness on an individual level. Our discussion also revolves around the essence of community building, strategies to alleviate the prevalent issue of loneliness, and the notions of freedom, independence, and interdependence.
We offer an encouraging reminder to ourselves and our listeners to be there for others, just as we hope others will be there for us. This mutual support and understanding create a nurturing environment that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.
Be Well, Mo!
