MotherWell Podcast

So long, farewell… for now. 🤍

Forty episodes. Incredible conversations. Thousands of mothers. More answered prayers than I can count.

In this special season finale, I’m reflecting on everything this first season has taught me—the lessons, the unexpected moments, the people who have shaped MotherWell, and the conversations that will stay with me forever.

After this episode, MotherWell will be taking an extended break as we pause to rest, dream, build, and prepare for what’s next. While we’re away, I hope you’ll revisit your favourite episodes, discover the ones you may have missed, and share them with another mum who needs them.

Thank you for welcoming MotherWell into your homes, your school runs, your quiet moments and every season in between. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

This isn’t the end of MotherWell. It’s the end of a beautiful first chapter.

Until we meet again…

Be fruitful. 🤍

Whether you’re choosing a preschool, raising a curious toddler, or simply wondering if you’re doing enough, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with early childhood educator and founder of Little Explorers, Zakiya Ogunneye, to unpack what every parent should know about the first five years of a child’s life. We talk about school readiness, play-based learning, emotional development, and the everyday habits that shape confident, curious children.

If you’ve ever wondered what your child’s teacher wishes parents understood, this episode offers practical wisdom, honest insights, and reassurance that will change the way you think about early childhood.

Because raising a child who loves learning starts long before the classroom.

Success is easy to admire.

The hard work behind it? Not so much.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the people who have quietly reshaped the way I think about work, consistency and excellence—starting with Veekee James.

This isn’t an episode about fame or overnight success. It’s about showing up, doing the work when nobody is watching, staying committed through the boring seasons and choosing discipline over shortcuts.

We’ll talk about why I’ve stopped chasing the easiest path, the danger of feeling entitled to success, and why I believe hard work will never go out of style.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, overlooked or tempted to quit, I hope this episode reminds you that the work you’re doing today is building the life you’ll thank yourself for tomorrow.

In this episode, Feyi sits down with her mum, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Adesanya, to recap The Mum Fund 2.0.

As someone who served on the panel at the very first Mum Fund and attended the second as a guest, she shares her reflections on the day, the wisdom shared on stage, and the movement that is being built through these conversations.

Together, they discuss money, hard work, wealth creation, sisterhood, and the importance of passing wisdom from one generation to the next. They also reflect on what stood out most from this year’s speakers and the lessons they hope women take away from the experience.

Thoughtful, insightful, and full of wisdom, this is a conversation you’ll want to take notes on. 🤍✨

This week on the MotherWell Podcast, we are joined by the incredible Mrs. Adenike Ogunlesi 🤍

A mother, entrepreneur, and one of the most inspiring women I know, Mrs. Ogunlesi shares her journey through motherhood, womanhood, and building a thriving business in Nigeria.

What struck me most was her joy. Her ability to remain warm, vibrant, and young at heart despite the demands of life, family, and entrepreneurship.

This conversation is packed with wisdom, perspective, and the kind of insights that only come from a life well lived.

In this episode, Feyi explores one of motherhood’s best-kept secrets: Matrescence, the profound physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual transformation that takes place when a woman becomes a mother.

Just as adolescence marks the transition from child to adult, matrescence marks the transition from woman to mother.

Why do so many women feel lost after having a baby?

Why does your brain seem different?

Why do you feel pulled between caring for your child and holding onto the person you used to be?

For years, many women have mistaken this experience for failure, weakness, or even “losing themselves,” when in reality, they are going through one of the most significant transformations of their lives.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this episode is for you.

You’re not broken.

You’re not failing.

You’re becoming. 🤍

Motherhood changes you. But what happens when you still want more for yourself?

In this honest solo episode, Faith opens up about the quiet tension many mothers carry: loving your family deeply while still wanting to build, dream, work, grow, and become.

From mom guilt to the pressure of trying to “balance it all,” this conversation explores the reality of modern motherhood, choosing what matters in different seasons, and the emotional weight of wondering if wanting more somehow makes you a bad mom.

If you’ve ever felt torn between showing up for your family and showing up for yourself, this episode is for you.

In this deeply personal episode, Feyi sits down with the woman who has quietly helped shape so much of this journey… Ibidunni Osho.

She’s a single mum. A creative force. The producer who has been with Feyi since the very scary beginning. But more than that, she’s been a safe place, a prayer partner, a right hand, and a purpose partner.

When life fell apart when Chidera passed away… she was the very first call.

In this episode, they talk about friendship, single motherhood, grief, obedience, building behind the scenes, and what it looks like when God places the right people beside you for the journey.

This one is raw. It’s tender. And it’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes God’s greatest gifts come wrapped in friendship. 🤍✨

Mrs. Isioma Aihie, our very first guest and first viral moment on the podcast, returns to the MotherWell couch for a deeply honest conversation about faith, entrepreneurship, and trusting God while building a business.

From navigating the realities of running a business in Lagos to learning how to surrender control and lean on God through uncertainty, this episode is filled with wisdom for every woman carrying vision, responsibility, and ambition.

We also touch on motherhood in a new season, including life as an “empty nester” whose 21-year-old son has moved back home, turning them into unexpected roommates 😭

This conversation is rich, grounding, and a reminder that sometimes faith is the strategy.

Behind the Emmy Nominee: Raising, Seeing & Nurturing Greatness

In this episode, Feyi sits with Foluso Gbadamosi, mother of Simisola Gbadamosi, Nigeria’s youngest Emmy nominee, for a powerful and deeply insightful conversation on raising gifted children.

Together, they explore what it really means to see your children as God sees them, beyond behaviour, beyond pressure, and beyond comparison.

This is a conversation about stewardship, not control.

About recognising potential early, nurturing it with intention, and creating the kind of environment where children can truly thrive.

Foluso shares her journey of raising a child with exceptional talent, the discipline, the discernment, and the quiet work required behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How do I recognise my child’s gifts?

• How do I nurture them without overwhelming them?

• How do I partner with God in raising my children?

This episode is for you.

Because every child carries something special.

The question is, are we seeing them clearly?
