Current Mind

This past week, my body forced me to slow down—and I didn’t know how to handle it. I’ve always been someone who goes hard, stacks my calendar, and keeps things moving, but when my period hit, everything felt off. I had to cancel meetings, shift deadlines, and deal with the guilt of not being “productive.”In this episode, I’m processing why rest feels like failure, the struggle of building alone, and how I’m learning to adjust without guilt. If you’ve ever felt stuck between pushing through and listening to yourself, this one’s for you.___Website:https://urucollective.coNneka's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nnekasmind/Úrù Collective IG:https://www.instagram.com/urucollective.co⁠

What is Current Mind?

Current Mind is hosted by Nneka Mogbo, founder of Úrú Collective and executive producer of Afrobeats Intelligence and The Joey Akan Experience.

It is a podcast for creators, talent managers, and cultural professionals who want an honest look at what it actually takes to build in the African creative industry. No performance. No highlight reel. Just the real work.

New episodes drop bi-weekly.
