It’s been a minute and this episode explains why.

In today’s catch-up, I share the full story of a day that was meant to be productive but turned into a technical disaster. From generator issues in Nigeria to full iPhone storage mid-shoot and a mic that stopped working halfway through, I was ready to give up but I didn’t.

This episode is for anyone who’s trying to build something and keeps hitting obstacles. I talk about:

• How I’m navigating YouTube as a beginner
• Why support from my people means everything
• What happened during the worst content day I’ve had in a while
• The quiet miracle of staying calm when everything falls apart

If you’re feeling stuck, blocked, or discouraged take a deep breath. It’s just a moment, not your whole story.

You don’t need more pressure. You just need a way forward. Let’s figure it out — together.

Hey friend. Come in and breathe.
This one’s for the girl who’s been applying, crying, praying — and still hearing silence.
For the one who looks at her resume and sees gaps, not glory.
For the woman who’s lived too much life to fit neatly into a LinkedIn box.

In this episode, I take you back to my second year of university — before the branding, before the business. I didn’t have Canadian experience. I didn’t have a referral. I didn’t even know how job placements really worked. But I had pain. I had prayer. I had preparation. And somehow… that was enough.

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes story of how I got 3 job offers during my co-op search, what I learned about rejection, how I tailored my resume using volunteer work, and why being yourself in an interview still works. No fluff, no hacks — just real-life lessons from the girl who kept showing up.

✨ We talk:

• Volunteering as real experience
• Applying without disqualifying yourself
• Resume tips that actually help
• Interview confidence when you're still unsure
• God's favor in unexpected places

You don’t have to look perfect to be powerful.
And delay is not denial.
Hit play, and let’s talk about it.

What happens when you leave home at 18… and don’t come back for 11 years?

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the real story behind my time away — the cold winters, the grocery shock, the friendships and loneliness, the work rejections, the spiritual covering that held me together, and the survival mode that nearly stole my softness.

This isn’t just about moving to Canada.
It’s about becoming.
It’s about what survival taught me — and what I had to unlearn.
It’s about navigating life as a Black, immigrant, first-born daughter, far from everything familiar.

If you’ve ever felt far from home, far from yourself, or stuck in survival, this one is for you.

✨ Real-life stories
💔 Loss, laughter, hustle, healing
📖 The Bible verses my mother marked before I left
💸 Money struggles, immigration realities, and how I finally found LimFi ( link below)
🔥 What I now know about rest, resilience, and the quiet power of returning to yourself

This is the episode I wish someone had recorded for me 11 years ago.
