Juggling Business and Motherhood with Lola Adeyemo

Welcome back to Unbreakable Mompreneurs with your host, Charisse Walker! In this episode, Charisse sits down with the extraordinary Lola Adeyemo — entrepreneur, award-winning leader, mom of three, TEDx speaker, and trailblazer in workplace inclusion. If you’ve ever wondered how to juggle motherhood, grow multiple businesses, and still create impact in the corporate world, this conversation is for you.Lola takes us on her inspiring journey from growing up in Nigeria to building three thriving ventures in the U.S. — EQImindset, Sapient Logic, and Immigrants in Corporate Inc. Her story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the courage to step away from a traditional path to follow your true calling. What started as a corporate career in Fortune 250 STEM companies has blossomed into a mission-driven movement creating intentional communities for inclusion, empowering immigrant professionals, and transforming organizational cultures.We dive into the messy, beautiful reality of being both a CEO and a mother — the challenges, the guilt, the systems that make it possible, and the grace we give ourselves along the way. Lola shares her tips on scheduling with intention, setting boundaries, creating connection moments with her children, and learning to prioritize what matters most in business and at home.From scaling a government contracting firm to 21 full-time employees, to navigating funding through factoring and hiring with heart, Lola doesn’t hold back on the lessons she's learned. She and Charisse talk openly about how entrepreneurship is often a journey of “learning while doing,” and how systems, templates, and delegation can be lifesavers in business and motherhood.We also explore the power of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), the importance of acknowledging intersectional identities in the workplace, and how Lola is changing the narrative around DEI by centering community and belonging in every organization she supports.This episode is a must-listen for any mompreneur who’s building big dreams while raising beautiful humans. You’ll walk away inspired to own your brilliance, pursue your passion with purpose, and be reminded that you’re not alone in this journey.Connect with your host Charisse Walker at charissewalker.comConnect with Lola Adeyemo:Website: www.eqimindset.comNon-Profit: www.immigrantsincorporate.comLinkedIn: Lola Adeyemo💬 Let’s keep the conversation going.
