Welcome to Yarnz with Uzoamaka. Here, we discuss important life topics in a light-hearted and relatable manner to uplift and enrich ourselves. Remember those conversations you causally have with your friends and family? No, not the online gossip (LoL), but the ones about life in general. We will be exploring some of those and extracting the learnings hidden in them to help us become the best versions of ourselves. The word “Yarnz” is our informal term for conversations. Join in as Uzoamaka takes us on a journey to enrich our lives, one conversation at a time.
Ep 13 - Dignity for People Living with Disabilities
What does dignity truly mean for people living with disabilities, and how do we ensure our words, actions, and systems reflect that dignity?
In this episode, Uzoamaka explores how respect, inclusion, and accessibility shape everyday experiences for people living with disabilities. Things like the language we use and how we offer support, to the systems we build in our communities and how we are willing to learn, unlearn, and take accountability when we get it wrong. She discusses what it means to move beyond awareness into intentional inclusion because dignity is not charity, it is justice, respect, and the right for everyone to fully belong.

Ep 12 - Looking Ahead
What do you plan to do with the years you have left?
In this episode, Uzoamaka explores the tension between honouring the past and being trapped by it. It’s okay to reflect on what you’ve lost, what you’ve learned, and even what you’ve achieved but you were never meant to live there.
She unpacks three practical steps to move forward intentionally: acknowledge the past without dwelling in it, clearly articulate the lessons it taught you, make a plan for what’s next. After these, the next important step is to move (no matter how small, no matter the pace).
Your future isn’t behind you. It’s ahead of you.

Ep 11 - My Words, My Power
What are you saying—about yourself, your dreams, your life?
In this episode, Uzoamaka takes a real look at the words we speak and how much power they carry—whether we realize it or not. Words build or break, heal or harm, lift or limit us. From the everyday things we say in frustration to the quiet confessions we make when no one’s listening, our words are constantly shaping our reality.
Let’s talk about why words matter, how to be intentional about what we are declaring, and why it’s time to start speaking life—over everything.
It’s not just about “positive vibes.” It’s about understanding that words are seeds, and what you plant will eventually grow.
So, take a pause, lean in, and let’s talk about reclaiming your voice, your words, and your power.

Ep 10 - Timing is Everything
Life sometimes can feel like one big game of musical chairs and you are trying to make sure you are not dancing too early or sitting down too late. In this episode, Uzoamaka talks about this thing called timing— how do you know when to move, when to wait and when to just enjoy the moment? Tips from trusting your God given instincts, to reading the room (literally and figuratively) and getting wisdom from the right people, could help us discern what time it is like a pro, because, let’s be real—timing is everything and figuring it out? That’s where the fun begins!

Ep 3 - Reciprocity
The principle of reciprocity as vital as it is to our lives, is one that can be easily ignored. People no longer try to reciprocate the good they have enjoyed, or take the time to bring value and give back to relationships, jobs, communities that have invested in them. As we continue on our journey to becoming the best versions of ourselves, Uzoamaka goes down the reciprocity street, challenging us to give at least as good as we get. Are you applying the principle of reciprocity in your life? Tune in let’s find out.
