Meet Sade Cole — a queer Nigerian artist, former celebrity stylist, and now a full-time sculptor based in California. From styling icons like Ciara and Wizkid to creating minimalist 3D sculptures that explore identity and heritage, Sade’s journey is nothing short of inspiring.

We talk about what it means to be queer and Nigerian, how she’s navigated visibility and vulnerability across cultures, and the path she’s taken to sculpt a life that truly reflects who she is. From fashion to tech to venture capital — and back to art — Sade shares how she’s carved out space for herself in every industry she’s entered.

If you’ve ever felt caught between where you come from and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you.

Thank you so much to Sade for joining the GXG conversation!

How we feeling friends?! On this episode, I break down 22 ways we can all have a transformative year that can create lasting change. If you’re ready to pivot out of old patterns and step into alignment, I think you'll like this one!

Inspired by Brianna Wiest’s The Pivot Year, this episode is a guide to self-reflection, acceptance, and growth. Change isn't something to fear—it's something to own. Let's make this your most transformative year yet. We're in it together!

Can what you eat really help ease your mind? In this episode, I dig into the science behind how certain foods and beverages can affect your mental health — especially when it comes to anxiety. I’ll walk you through 9 research-backed foods that have been shown to ease anxious feelings, shout-out the Mediterranean diet (for good reason!), and even unpack why a traditional Indian diet can be so nourishing when prepared the right way. Healing spices like turmeric are amazing for your gut (and your gut is more connected to your brain than you might think).

This episode is based on trusted sources, including a Healthline article written by registered dietitian Brianna Elliott and medically reviewed by Jerlyn Jones, MS, MPA, RDN, LD, CLT, as well as research adapted from a Harvard Health Blog post by Eva Selhub, MD.

If you're curious about how your nutrition and mental health go hand in hand, this one's for you!

After four years of podcasting, it felt like the right time for a reintroduction. In this episode, I’m sharing a little bit more about my background, how I came to terms with my queerness and the intentions I'm carrying into this next chapter. Think of this as a cozy chat over coffee. Always remember to slow down and be present xo

Ah love bombing and breadcrumbing - two common terms we hear a LOT but what does it really mean? Is this something you've experienced in your romantic relationships or even friendships? I did some research for this episode and talk about the toxic tactics of love bombing and breadcrumbing which are two forms of emotional manipulation that can leave us feeling confused. I talk about how these behaviours show up in relationships, why they're so harmful, and how to protect yourself from falling into these patterns.

If you're looking for a little extra guidance, you can learn more in Dr. Ramani Durvasula's book "It's Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People." Dr. Ramani Durvasula is an American clinical psychologist, retired professor of psychology, media expert, and author.

In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin Galway, the brilliant queer, non-binary author of A Song for Wildcats.

From themes of rebellion to the beauty of various settings, Caitlin shares their journey as a writer and the stories that shaped them. If you love queer literature - this one is for you!

You ever have a totally normal day, and then out of nowhere, your brain hits you with the worst possible scenario? Same. My anxiety loves to serve up intrusive thoughts, especially when it comes to my loved ones and my cats. What if something bad happens? It’s exhausting, but I know I’m not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking how anxiety shows up as fear and exploring ways we can combat it. Do you relate? Let's chat PLS.
