In this episode of the podcast, my guest and I have a much needed conversation on how to teach kids about money. In this episode, Amina and I Talk about:

• Her background and her aha moment with money
• When she started thinking about teaching her kids about money
• Age appropriate money lessons for kids
• What NOT to say to kids about money
• Raising sons in today's society
• Partnership in Parenting

It is such a rich conversation and I recommend it for all parents, and aspiring parents. 

Amina Odukoya works as a product manager in the finance industry, and before that spent several years in frontline roles across retail, small business, and corporate banking. She's also a mum to two boys.

Her interests sit  at the intersection of money, identity, and access, especially supporting first generation immigrants in the UK to understand money and financial systems in a way that actually makes sense, without jargon or shame. She also cares deeply about mentorship and helping people have an easier and less isolating career journey than many of us experienced.

Outside of work and parenting, she enjoyd dancing, travelling, cycling, writing poetry, crafting, and finding joy in ordinary, everyday life.

Welcome to season 14 of the podcast and in this episode, I'm talking about how money conversations changed the course of my financial journey. My journey began at a time it wasnt cool to talk about money, so I dug my heels in and paid off my debt in silence. Then I had conversations

1. With a colleague whose parents bought her a home in cash
2. Another colleague who lived at home and started maxing out retirement accounts right away
3. Another colleague who introduced me to the Health Savings Account
4. Yet another colleague on brokerage accounts and investing for early retirement
5. With my friend on angel investing. 
6. The podcast today and more

These conversations all left me with something, they opened my eyes to possibilities and ultimately led to action on my end. I'm an advocate for healthy money conversations and I hope this encourages you to have more money conversations in your circle and beyond! Put your people on!

If you've ever set goals in January that felt inspiring, and by March you were tired, behind, or quietly ashamed, then this episode is for you. 

In this episode, we are talking about a better way to set goals for 2026, one that actually fits your life. 

Instead of chasing goals that look impressive, we focus on goals that are supported by capacity, systems, and real life constraints, especially for immigrants navigating career, money, family obligations, and life abroad. 

You'll learn:

- Why most goals fail even when motivation is high

- How to filter goals through your capacity and non-negotiables

-The difference between outcomes and actions (and why actions matter more)

- Accountability rhythms that make goals stick

2026 doesnt need a new version of you. It needs a better supported version of you. 

Listen now, and set goals that actually stick!

As we move toward the end of the year, it's tempting to rush into new goals. But before 2026 can be successful, it needs to be sustainable. 

In this episode, we slow down and focus on foundations - capacity, boundaries, trade-offs, and systems. These things allow high-achiveing, globally minded people to move forward with clarity and peace. 

In this episode, we talk about:

• Closing 2025 honestly
• Defining your real capacity
• Deciding what you're NOT optimising
• Building systems that actually support your life

Winning in 2026 isn't about hustling harder,. It is about sustainable rhythms, and clarity. This isn't about becoming someone new, it is about becoming more honest and intentional with the life you already have. Watch out for Part II next week!
