Stop Playing God: Dear Men

Image
  Claudiopuzzo Some men move through life with a dangerous kind of arrogance, believing that because they have a little more money, attention or control in the moment, that they can treat a woman any way they like. They lie, manipulate, disrespect and toy with the heart of a woman who genuinely loved them and move on like kings thinking they have won in life.  Time shall tell… you are not God . You are not the ultimate source of her happiness or survival. You are just a man she chose to love and one day, when she chooses differently your relevance will evaporate like mist in the morning sun. Good women are patient. They absorb more than they should. They forgive more times than they tell you but when a good woman finally calls your bluff, when she finally stops caring, stops showing up, stops praying for you, stops waiting… Bro! it’s over for you. Life has a way of settling scores quietly and thoroughly. It may take a whil...

How to bag a man

Image
  Duchess Claudiopuzzo 😍 A lot of women out there are confused  about what it really takes to bag a man. Here’s my simple advice:  stay in your feminine energy . A man who’s looking for a wife doesn’t want to feel like he’s dealing with another man trapped in a woman’s body. Meaning… it goes far beyond looks and curves. I know too much, I have too much, I can do so much will only burn you out. You’ll only be putting unnecessary weight on his “fragile ego” Sis, moderation is key. Dont be too forward. Let the man lead. Be his peace. When they say “be his peace” it means a whopping lot to know that it’s not every issue you confront, report or complain about. You need a strong "shock absorber" to handle some of his excesses. You need to chill for the most part. Do not be quick to speak and react in anger. If you’re not ready to leave  him and you know that raising a certain issue might tear you both apart, sometimes it’s wiser not to bring it up immediately. Timing and ...

To each their kind

People often say that women today are not like their mothers, usually referring to how past generations endured both subtle and outright abuse in silence.  Many of those women cried themselves to sleep night after night but refused to leave, afraid of what society would say or unwilling to be labeled as having "failed" in marriage.   They held on to men who had already checked out of the marriage, making excuses for those who treated them worse than animals. They found reasons to stay, even when love and respect had long disappeared.   But today’s woman? She knows better. She is self-aware, values her peace and refuses to waste time on a man who doesn’t even know what he wants. She will not beg for love neither will she wait around for someone who doesn’t choose her nor tolerate being treated like an afterthought.   She loves herself enough to walk away from places where she isn’t wanted. The moment a relationship starts to feel like a bad idea or threatens her menta...

Addressing toxic work culture requires a concerted effort from leadership

Image
  Toxic work culture within organizations can manifest in various ways, often stemming from systemic issues, poor leadership or ingrained behaviors. Here are some common characteristics and impacts of toxic work culture: 1. Lack of Transparency: In toxic environments, there's often a lack of transparency regarding decision-making processes, goals and expectations. This breeds distrust among employees and creates a culture of secrecy and uncertainty. 2. Micromanagement: Micromanagement is a common feature of toxic work cultures, where employees feel suffocated by excessive oversight and lack of autonomy. This not only stifles creativity and innovation but also leads to increased stress and burnout among employees. 3. Poor Communication: Effective communication is essential for a healthy work environment, but toxic cultures often feature miscommunication, gossip, and rumor-mongering. This leads to misunderstandings, conflicts and a breakdown of trust among team members. 4. Lack of Ac...

Finding happiness from within

Image
  Claudia Nwankwo Many people endure pain, hoping those around them will notice and offer support. But often, everyone is wrapped up in their own lives and doesn’t have the time or focus to notice what others are going through. Woke up to the groaning sound of someone in pain who has been given surgery as permanent solution but they choose to suffer and keep managing the pain because they are afraid to make such decisions with such dramatic turn around in their health. I cannot understand why anyone would think so low of themselves that they rely on others’ validation to make important personal life decisions. …because “people who knew me before will say” If you have options (and usually you do), take them! Don’t suffer in silence just because you fear what people might say or worry about the outcome.  What if things turn out better than you ever imagined? No one can fully understand your pain, because no one else feels it the way you do.  So, whether it’s about...

Do yourself the favour of being aiit

Image
One thing I’ve learned in my little time on this earth is to never entertain negativity.   I’ve had to let go of quite a few relationships for the sake of my peace. And as I get older, I understand more and more why some people find comfort in pets over humans.   There’s a certain peace that comes with not having entitled people around—the ones who demand more than you can give, who hold unrealistic expectations for no reason.   People who do the bare minimum yet expect your entire existence in return.   It’s draining to deal with ungrateful people who only take, never considering you. The ones who are quick to put you down the moment they sense even the slightest vulnerability.   And then there are those who linger in your life under the guise of “friends” or “family” but have no real goodwill toward you. The gossipers, the backstabbers—the ones who secretly hope for your downfall.   There’s a certain stability that comes with staying in your lane, living ...

Don’t ignore the signs!!!

Image
 “The Signs You Ignore Today Might Be the Reason You Leave Tomorrow” Claudia Nwankwo Life often gives us subtle hints when something isn’t right. As minor as they may seem at the moment, can accumulate over time and lead to bigger issues down the line. Ignoring those early warning signs can result in more significant problems, sometimes prompting us to make drastic decisions like quitting.  It is important to pay attention to them: See why. 1. Constant Discomfort One of the first signs many people ignore is a persistent sense of discomfort. This can manifest in several way. As frequent headaches or stomachaches, or emotional distress, like anxiety or sadness. When we feel uncomfortable in our environment, it's our body's way of signaling that something isn’t right. Over time, this constant discomfort can lead to emotional exhaustion, ultimately forcing us to make a change. 2. Lack of Fulfillment Another common sign is a lack of fulfillment. Whether it’s a job that doesn’t chal...
