2024 is slowly drawing to an end🕰️, and the start of the new year🥳, 2025, is gradually coming upon us. As you take your time, to reflect on how this year has been for you; the goals you planned to achieve, the habits you were to embark on and /or stop, the skills you planned to learn, the list is quite endless✍️.

I hope you “choose” not to beat yourself up by blaming yourself and/or others; speaking negatively over yourself and/or your situation, and /or comparing your state to that of others you “think” have gone ahead of you, or are doing better, based on what they portray/show off, which are all easier to do, and sometimes, we can’t help doing those, when we feel like, we fell-short in “remarkable” ways. I’ve been there, so you are not alone✍️.

I hope you realize, that what is important and what really matters is your ability to “acknowledge” your “identity” first, and then, the “why” behind the things that went right or wrong, because, there is always a “why”, and in doing so, taking the “actual” steps to start off an immediate plan, even before the new year starts. This is what I’ve been doing for the past few weeks, because I already told myself, that “2024,”“cannot” be like “2025”.

I was just listening to the book📖 “Atomic habits” by “James Clear”, and I decided to pause, and share this thought that came across my mind😎.

This is just a kind reminder, to us all, to be kind to ourselves, as well as to others, no matter where we think we are in our journey, regardless🙏. If you are not kind to yourself, it might be really hard for you, to be kind to others, because we can’t give what we don’t have👌.

Happy Tuesday Friends, stay blessed😇, stay positive😎

Many a times, people get so carried away “watching” things that are not “important”, giving it their “full” attention while paying “little” attention and “minimal” details to things that are far more relevant✍️🤔.

What is really 😔sad about such “unhealthy” way of life, is that the clock⏰ is ticking and time moving, and before you know it, is way too gone, hard and/or quite impossible to fix the “damage” that have been done due to lack of “paying attention to what really matters the most”, which to me are in this order: your health🩺🏋️‍♀️🏋️📚🥗🩻, your finances🏦📉📈 and your relationships👨👩👦👧👶👴👵.

The “inevitable” truth is that, if don’t pay attention to your health (spiritual, mental, and physical), by actively and intentionally engaging in activities that ensure you are fit “all round”, it would be quite “unrealistic” and extremely difficult, to even think about how to stay afloat with your finances💵 to avoid “predictable” financial stress and/or troubles, because from my personal experiences over the past 5 years, I strongly believe some “crisis” are 💯 predictable and can be avoided✍️.

Speaking of relationships👨👩👧👦👶👵👴, it is important you know that, “your relationship with “yourself first”, is more important than your relationship with “others”, so do well to fix that first, before trying to “build” or “repair”relationships with others, because this will guide you as well as keep you from getting into “avoidable” troubles related to “wrong and unhealthy” relationships.

I just saw this “picture” this morning posted by someone somewhere, it got me laughing, but I was moved to talk about it. Happy reading 📖😎.

Do have a blessed and safe new week😇😊
Stay focused and refuse to be ignorant🧘🏽🧘‍♀️

Happy new week👋
Today is the last day of September, and I decided to take some time and reflect on how this year have been and all. Still can’t believe is 3 months left to bid “2024” 👋 🤔.

Here are “three” questions I asked myself while reflecting✍️:
What “version” of you came into this year?
What “goals” did you set this year and how many have been achieved; how many is left?
What are your “end of the year expectations”?

Let’s talk about the first question in this blog…✍️
Over the past few years, I came to the “realization” of how “important” and “powerful” the “version” of any human is🤔. This is because a lot of results, both positive and negative are “absolutely” dependent on this.

There is a “version” of “you” that is required to “smash” certain “goals” you have set for yourself, as well as to keep your “expectations” alive😎🧘🏽. Until that “version” is birthed, it may take a “while” to forge ahead, and we all know that time is 💵 ….

In 2022, I realized that my “version” was the reason behind my numerous struggles and failures living abroad🥹. It became so “clear” to me that a “change” of my “person” and not the “location” was the problem, like I was thinking🤗. At that point, I knew that if I didn’t do something quick to “transform” that version, I will be doomed completely sooner than I thought🤔.
Because of this “awareness” and “openness of my heart to receive help”, God sent me the right help.

Why “FAKE” what can be “REAL”? remains one of my “favorite” lines/quotes😎

Take a moment, ask yourself and think about, “Who are you?”
What are your strengths, weaknesses, values, and state of your “mind”. Analyze the “struggles/failures” you have had lately, and try to identify factors that contributed to it, that stems from the current “version of yourself” and how it would have been different….

Have a richly blessed week🙏🏾
You can do “ALL” things…

So what’s your take on speaking your “native” language to a child? Do you think that the child “hearing” it, is good enough, or are you an “advocate” of them “hearing and speaking” too?🤗. How consistent and diligent are you with achieving those goals, aspirations, breaking habits, etc.?Watch this short video to the end, to see how my “22 months”toddler “shocked me”😲. I “honestly” wasn’t expecting that and it was actually my first time, instructing him in “igbo” like that in “public”.With consistency and due diligence, “ANYTHING” can be achieved✍️. Don’t let naysayers sway you away, with their opinions. Know what you want, and “fearlessly” go for it, because you “CAN” definitely have it, if you put in the “WORK”.🧘‍♀️Stay blessed🙏🏾

Diary of 9/23/2024🕰️📔Have you ever felt like someone is “indirectly” insulting you🥲? How did you handle it? Feel free to share in the comments🤗. In this short video, I narrate my experience @ Burger King, in Lenoir City location📍… I used to think that the only thing affected by the location of a place is just; the cost of groceries🛒, housing🏘️💵 and wages🤔😂… I finally realized yesterday, that “EVERYTHING ” is affected based on your location in the 🇺🇸✍️.Having lived in the 🇺🇸 for a while, I realized that, “if you are not paying attention to details, someone can easily insult and/or make a fool of you, without you even realizing that😂🤣…Be alert, and don’t let “anyone” do that to you🙏🏾. Own your voice, but still be polite😎. Be discerning enough to know when to refuse certain “favors”✍️

Hi everyone👋

It’s a new week and in the next couple of weeks, I will be talking about a very interesting series I titled, “Things I’d wished I knew before moving to the 🇺🇸.” This series can definitely to applied to any aspect of your life regardless of whether you are planning to move abroad or currently residing abroad✍️.

It is quite common to be carried away by the “euphoria” of getting approved to Jakpa🤗 marked by your visa or PR to move abroad, that we forget the most important part of any “NEW VENTURE” such as starting a business📊🧾, learning a new skill🛠️🎼🏊🏽‍♂️, going on a fitness🏋️‍♀️🥗and/or personal growth journey 📚📒, the list is quite endless…and yes, moving abroad is definitely in the list.

From my experiences over the years, I can tell you that a “recipe for failure and/or inconsistent growth” in any given venture is grossly attached to “lack (zero), insufficient and/or wrong preparation😑🫣.

In this series, I will take you through the DIFFERENT LEVELS OF APT PREPARATION one must be “willing”to take, to ensure a successful “onboarding” in any aspired venture✍️.

Are you ready?😎
Then get connected, grab your writing materials and see you soon!

Don’t forget that to fight🥷 ignorance mercilessly is your “choice”👍.
Stay 😇, stay focused🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️.
You will surely get there🙏🏾

Aside introducing myself and outlining what to expect from my space, I share some important information about living abroad; the sad trend that is affecting people who don’t take their time to study the system; and some tips on how to avoid them.

09/12/2024

If you have a family and y’all live abroad, I encourage you to embark on this journey with me and you won’t regret it… I commit to bring you UNMATCHED advice, practical tips and personal insights to help you and your family succeed.

Whew 😅….

Is high time I got this ASSIGNMENT out cos it’s been brooding for a while now✍️!
Where do I begin?

My name is Favour Mbachi, a Registered Nurse (RN), Registered Midwife🇳🇬; RN, BSN 🇺🇸…
Oh yea, Proudly🇳🇬 regardless!
Wife and mom of 2 amazing boys👦; both kids are under 5 years old.

So it’s been 5 years and counting of moving to the United States🇺🇸🕰️✍️…

Interestingly, I’ve been opportuned to reside in three different states and a lot of things had happened within these past years …I’ve had my UNIQUE share of the bad😔the badder☹️ and the baddest😫 experiences due to IGNORANCE which you HARDLY HEAR anyone talking about abroad, and it has indeed birthed this PASSION to create a MEDIUM to help as many as I can to stay AFLOAT in their JOURNEY OF IMMIGRATION and achieving FINANCIAL FREEDOM abroad… So let’s get and stay connected because I promise that you will NOT regret doing so!🤗

Whether you are living abroad and/or planning to relocate abroad to whichever continent or you just want to know what LIVING ABROAD TRUTHFULLY is, this space got all the GIST for you…. Continue reading to know why I said so😎

Apparently, a good number of individuals that aren’t residing “ABROAD” yet are wishing to get the “OPPORTUNITY” of traveling and possibly becoming an immigrant in one of these top 3 continents: North America, Europe and Asia😁.

Unfortunately, so many “immigrants” embark on this journey with little and/no “PROPER” information and end up spending so many “HARD KNOCK” years trying to figure out the SYSTEM and/or their LIVES….🤔

On this space, I bring you UNCONVENTIONAL stories of my personal journey living abroad to enlighten, educate, inspire, remind and/or keep you motivated/focused to AVOID THE TERRIBLE TREND regardless of where you’re in this UNPREDICTABLE journey I call “abroad lifestyle”…Watch the upcoming video to know what’s the trend I’m talking about.

I hope to explore the intersection of personal development, marriage, parenting, financial empowerment and faith all through the lens of my personal experiences as a 🇳🇬 living in the 🇺🇸 as a couple with no kids as well as a family of four currently.

Feel free to call me a VULNERABLE STORY TELLER/WRITER as long as my PRACTICAL TIPS and PERSONAL INSIGHTS serve as a “LEVERAGE” that gives you the KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM to attain whatever heights, goals and dreams you have…and no, I’m not here to dish out some AI scripts nor to waste your PRECIOUS time because I’m an advocate of the saying, “Time is 💰”…Feel free to request videos as well or ask questions you might have… I’m here to SERVE you💯🫡😎

Questions to ask yourself if you read to the end:

Where are you in your immigration journey and how long has it been?

How knowledgeable are you about navigating the system of the country you reside in and/or hope to reside in the nearest future?

What is your short term plan?
What is your long term plan?

Do you have a personal road map and a drawn plan that helps you to foresee where you are going and how you are going to get there?

Do you know that the experiences of living abroad as a single individual; married with kids; or married with no kids is quite different.

As a black parent, do you know that Parenting your child back home is totally different from doing so abroad.

The above questions and more will be explored on my different social media platforms…
