About
Welcome to Take What You Need, the podcast. This podcast is named after my first book, and many years on we’re continuing the journey of designing life on our own terms. Think of this as a weekly catch-up between me and you, where we talk about EVERYTHING. From the mindset shifts that make us better versions of ourselves, to discussing how the media, and marketing, play an even bigger role in the story of our lives than we might think. Each week, I delve into questions that you, the listeners, have asked and share my take on the topics that matter most to you. Let's get started

#17 How to Deal with Unanswered Prayers & What To Do While You’re Waiting

How do you keep going when nothing is working? How do you deal with unanswered prayers? No matter how ‘good’ things appear, most of us are still hoping for SOMETHING. At the end of 2023, I found myself in tears, unable to trust the process. My hope was lost, I had so much frustration and I was just over it. Here’s how I found my way back to clarity and peace. I hope it helps you too. Let me know what you think! All links mentioned below: https://abiola.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Also, thank you SO much for sharing and celebrating the podcast. You are the reason I’m continuing. I’m excited about the potential — not just of our page growth but of the internal TRANSFORMATION happening on the inside of every single one of us. If you’re a visual person, subscribe to my YouTube channel — I’ll be posting more ‘lifestyle’ content this year. Firing on all cylinders.

S2 E13 | “What if it doesn’t work out?” — How to move from doubt to action with the art of hedging

It all started with this tweet: “a16z and Sequoia are wrong 90% of the time…” If some of the greatest and smartest minds in the world have accounted for the fact that things not working out is a normal part of life, then perhaps the question ‘what if it doesn’t work’ isn’t even the right question to ask. I think we should be asking a better, more productive set of questions.  Now, look at your own life. Are there steps you’re afraid of taking? Are there things that feel so exciting, that deep down you want to pursue but they feel ‘too risky’? Instead of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing, ask yourself, 'how am I going to hedge against this risk?'. And maybe, just maybe you’ll get unstuck.
