The Building You Podcast

This one dropped in my heart, so I hope you enjoy listening to this.

How to save and invest money in Nigeria on any salary — even ₦50k or ₦100k — starting today, not "when things get better."

I've never really been a saver in my entire life. Not "I used to save and stopped"; the idea itself never occurred to me as something for someone like me. Then one verse I'd heard a hundred times finally caught up with me, and it completely changed how I think about every naira that passes through my hands. In this episode, I'm getting fully practical about saving and investing money in Nigeria, real numbers, real apps, and the exact split I use, whether you're on a fixed salary or running your own business with income that comes in bits.

Want the budget tracker I personally use to split savings, spending, and investments? Leave a comment below or DM me @tbypod, I'll send it straight to you.

Nobody taught us how to say no. They just let us feel guilty for it.

In this episode I sat down with Omar, UGC creator, social media manager, voice over artist, and one of the most unbothered people I've spoken to, and we got into it. People pleasing. Setting your rates. What happens when you always show up and one day you can't. And why the only real answer to a hard decision starts with prayer, not a group chat.

If you've ever said yes when everything in you was screaming no, this one is for you.

What is my purpose? It’s the ultimate question we ask when the plan doesn't fit and the script isn't working.

In this episode of The Building You Podcast, Esther Ekanem dives deep into Answering the Question on Purpose. We are flipping the narrative on calling.

True purpose isn’t a job, a paycheck, or a destination, it is about the person you are becoming to fulfill God’s will. If you are tired of career anxiety and ready to embrace the daily work of building a life that is actually yours, plug in your headphones and let’s talk.

New episodes 6PM Sunday. Keep building you.

This is Episode 10. The Season 1 finale of The Building You Podcast.

In this episode, Esther answers 12 questions about the season — raw and unfiltered. What it actually cost her to show up every Sunday. The lie she told herself at the beginning that turned out not to be true, and the episode she recorded for one person that somehow reached everybody.

Also — FL, one of her most loyal listeners, leaves a voice note review. And it's the kind of thing that reminds you exactly why building something quietly, consistently, faithfully — is always worth it.

Season 2 is coming. But first, this.

This is not goodbye. This is see you soon.

In this Women's Day episode, Esther sits down with three women who changed the trajectory of everything around them — Esther from the Bible, Nigerian climate activist and UNICEF collaborator Temilade Salami, and Dubai-based entrepreneur and digital speaker Afnan Khalifa.

This episode is for every woman sitting in a season that doesn't look like what she planned, and it is a direct challenge to stop waiting and start building.

Job hunting. Building a legacy. Trying to stay sane. Sound familiar?

In this episode, Esther gets personal about the season she's currently in where nothing is settled yet but everything still has to keep moving.

She shares 7 honest, practical things that have been keeping her grounded: from decluttering her to-do list and staying consistent in devotion, to learning how to actually stick with something past the two-week mark.

This isn't a results episode. It's a systems episode — and it might be exactly what you need to hear today.

Valentine’s is over… and after the heart emojis, chocolates, and Instagram posts, there’s often that quiet question: “Okay… now what?”

In this episode, Esther talks honestly about singlehood — not as a waiting room, but as a powerful, intentional season of growth.

This is a gentle but practical conversation about how to stop merely “passing time” while single and start owning the season you’re in.

Whether you’re newly single, long-term single, or just reflecting after Valentine’s, this episode invites you to see this phase of your life as meaningful, active, and full of possibility.
