About Me

Hi, My name is Adisa Folasade Helen, but you can call me Sade (No ‘H’).

I am the voice behind Candid with Folasade, a space dedicated to lifestyle, growth, positivity, and personal development.

I’m a daughter, sister, a friend, and a proud aunt. I am a lover of nature, a book lover, obsessed with movies and anime, a thought leader, and a growth enthusiast.

I am not the most adventurous but I do love to discover things, and I am on a journey so I would love to share the amazing things I learn along the way.

I share tips, tricks, and thought processes, and sometimes just plain drama about me and my experiences.

I show up here every Tuesday and Thursday, so make sure to be here and subscribe to my newsletter.

In the meantime feel free to read a post or two.

My Story

Where do I even begin?
Born and raised in Ile-Ife, the last born of a family of Seven, i have been lucky enough to be raised by two wonderful parents And four older siblings.

I have a degree in geography but I also write as a hobby. I love weaving a good story and worldbuilding.

I have come to transfer that passion into voicing out on this space. Life is my canvas and I want to paint something pretty and I believe that my everyday adventure is a stroke in the right direction

My journey towards personal growth started with a simple realization: life is too short not to strive for happiness and fulfillment every single day. Each moment is an opportunity for growth, and I’m committed to making the most of every experience, big or small.

Here on this blog, I’ve found a space to voice my thoughts, share my stories, and connect with others who are on a similar journey of self-discovery and personal development.

So, welcome to my corner of the internet. I hope you’ll join me as I continue to explore, learn, and grow, one adventure at a time.

My Philosophy

“I am a palm tree, and I grow like bamboo.”

It sounds like it doesn’t make sense, but it does, I have an article going in-depth about it. The statement resonates with me a lot because I feel like it is a true embodiment of the person that I am and the potential that I hold.

I think that one of the best things that a person can do is to know their true potential, know the height that they can attain, and know that they can surpass their limits.

I am a person, I have talents, abilities, and potential. That I can be like a palm tree. I can be so productive in such a way that every single talent that I have, every skill that I own is explored and exploited by me, and nothing goes to waste

As for the bamboo, it’s a fast-growing plant, but that is after a long period of growing a strong root downwards.

Then I decided to join those two together. I am going to use every gift that I have to impact the world around me and I’m going to do it and grow at such an incredible rate that I’m going to be a blessing to those around me. But also, I will take my time to establish my roots so I am firm, ready for growth, and speed

So yes that statement isn’t only meant for only me. You can be a palm tree and you might just be stepping into your bamboo moment.
