Rather than waiting for perfect conditions or overthinking potential obstacles, she champions taking immediate action on ideas while enthusiasm is high. This mindset, coupled with her unwavering positivity, has carried her through manufacturing mishaps, capital challenges, and the demanding 24/7 reality of business ownership.Perhaps most fascinating is Aramide's strategic decision to "stay in her lane" by focusing exclusively on larger shoe sizes.

In this deeply moving conversation, author and ministry leader Seun Sholanke shares the raw, transformative story behind her book "Living in Wholeness."Seun reveals how a triggering moment during her social work studies unexpectedly unearthed childhood trauma she'd buried for years. Rather than staying in that broken place, she describes the pivotal encounter that reconnected her with God's tangible presence and started her healing journey. With disarming honesty, she explains how God challenged her to share her story publicly, a step that not only furthered her own healing but created space for countless others to begin processing their pain.Throughout our discussion, Sheun unpacks the practical realities of living in wholeness. She addresses why we hide our brokenness, how unresolved trauma manifests in our daily lives, and the inside-out approach God takes to genuine healing. With wisdom born from experience, she offers insights into breaking generational patterns of brokenness, especially for parents seeking to raise whole, confident children. Her perspective on identity crisis rooted in biblical examples from Gideon to Jesus himself provides a refreshing counterpoint to our culture's endless striving for perfection.The conversation culminates in a powerful reminder that our most painful experiences, when surrendered to God, become our most effective ministry tools. As Sheun puts it, "With the same comfort you've been comforted, you can comfort other people." If you're struggling with your own brokenness or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers both practical wisdom and the gentle assurance that healing is possible not despite your wounds, but often because of them.What parts of your story might God be waiting to transform from sources of shame into channels of healing for others?

    The Forgotten Transition: Navigating Perimenopause and Beyond

    Send us Fan MailWhy don't we talk about menopause? In this candid, laughter-filled conversation, Bessie opens up about her journey through perimenopause and the bewildering array of symptoms nobody prepared her for. Like many women, particularly those from African backgrounds, she received no education about this inevitable transition—not from her mother, not from her doctor, and certainly not from society at large.From night sweats so severe they require midnight clothing changes to the sudden, inexplicable itching that appears at bedtime, we explore the reality of symptoms far beyond the stereotypical hot flashes. Brain fog that makes you forget your own name mid-sentence. The sudden aversion to cooking after a lifetime of enjoying it. Digestive changes that leave you sleeping sitting upright. Cold flashes instead of hot ones. The conversation weaves through these experiences with honesty and humor, acknowledging the confusion and sometimes fear these unexpected changes bring.Most poignantly, we discuss how these symptoms impact women's professional lives and relationships. When concentration fails in important meetings or anxiety suddenly appears over minor changes, women often suffer silently rather than seeking support. The workplace is slowly becoming more menopause-aware, but progress depends on women being willing to speak openly about their experiences. Similarly, educating men—particularly partners—about menopause creates understanding during a time when mood swings and physical changes can strain relationships.If you're experiencing perplexing symptoms in your 40s or beyond, you're not alone. Help is available, though you may need to advocate for yourself. Through rest, research, medical support, and connection with others going through similar experiences, women can navigate this transition with dignity and even find the humor in it. The conversation ends with a powerful reminder: this is a universal female experience, and breaking the silence benefits not just ourselves but generations of women to come.Support the show
