The Ufuoma Show

What if some of the things holding you back today are patterns you learned long ago?

In this episode of The Ufuoma Show, Ufuoma Oghenevwede sits down with transformational coach, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and author Leo Dulay.

Leo helps people understand and work through emotional patterns such as anxiety, anger, procrastination, and feeling stuck. His book, You Are Not Your Past, explores the possibility of separating who we are today from the experiences and stories that shaped us.

In this conversation, we explore how emotional patterns develop, how the subconscious mind influences our behavior, what hypnotherapy and NLP can offer, and the difference between intellectually understanding our past and becoming emotionally free from it.

We also discuss limiting beliefs, personal responsibility, self-awareness, and practical ways to begin changing patterns that no longer serve us.

If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating something you desperately want to change, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. https://leodulaycoaching.com/

Why do some people seem incredibly easy to understand while others leave us wondering, “Why do they behave like that?”

On this episode of The Ufuoma Show, I sit down with Sheila Glāzov, bestselling author of What Color Is Your Brain?, award-winning personality expert, professional speaker, educator, and coach.

With more than 41,000 copies of her book sold, Sheila has developed a fascinating and accessible way of understanding personality through four Brain Color Personalities.

We talk about where the Brain Color methodology came from, what the four personalities reveal about the way we think and communicate, and why understanding ourselves is only half the equation.

We also explore how personality differences affect relationships, marriages, friendships, workplace teams, leadership, and client relationships.

Why do certain people naturally work well together while others constantly clash? How can we communicate with someone whose personality is completely different from ours? And can understanding personality actually help us reduce conflict and build stronger relationships?

Sheila brings her trademark energy and practical wisdom to a conversation designed to help you understand yourself better—and perhaps finally understand that person who seems to drive you crazy.

You may even discover your own Brain Color along the way.

Where does inner strength come from?

For Jay Setchell, the answer isn't just one thing. It's shaped by family, faith, relationships, discipline, success, failure, pain, frustration, and the experiences that teach us to get back up when life knocks us down.

In this episode of The Ufuoma Show, Jay shares the philosophy that has guided him through life's challenges: “If it is to be, it is up to me.”

Drawing from his upbringing and his experience in the Marine Corps, Jay talks about personal responsibility, discipline, resilience, and the importance of refusing to hand our future over to someone else.

We explore what failure can teach us, how to keep moving when motivation disappears, why taking responsibility doesn't mean doing everything alone, and how to distinguish between giving up and having the courage to change direction.

At the heart of the conversation is Jay's powerful reminder:

“It's Always Too Soon to Quit.”

If you've ever experienced a setback, felt stuck, or wondered whether you have the strength to keep going, this conversation is for you.

What happens when you experience the world from multiple perspectives and then look back at your own country?

On this episode of The Ufuoma Show, I sit down with Evan Jaqua, an international business development specialist whose career and personal experiences have taken him across multiple countries and cultures.

Fluent in several foreign languages and shaped by years of international experience, Evan believes that seeing how other societies operate can give us a different perspective on the challenges facing America.

We talk about his international journey, what living and working across cultures has taught him, and why he believes the United States is at a critical point in its history.

Evan also introduces the ideas behind the Solutions Party and explains his vision for reform, freedom, economic opportunity, and prosperity.

This is a conversation about looking beyond familiar perspectives, questioning the status quo, and thinking seriously about what kind of future we want to build.

Whether you agree with Evan's views or not, this conversation offers an opportunity to step outside the usual political talking points and explore the bigger questions: What is working? What isn't? What needs to change? And what would it take for America to reach its full potential?

Why is losing weight sometimes easier than keeping it off?

On this episode of The Ufuoma Show, I sit down with Dr. Delali Hevi, Medical Director of Zenith Health Institute and founder of Zenith Coaching Academy, who has spent more than two decades helping people not only lose weight, but maintain their results.

Dr. Hevi's perspective is deeply personal. Having struggled with obesity since childhood, he understands firsthand why simply telling someone to “try harder” often isn't enough.

We explore the biology behind weight maintenance, including the body's set point, hunger hormones such as leptin and ghrelin, the role of sex hormones, and how the brain responds when someone loses weight.

We also have an honest conversation about GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic—their potential benefits, limitations, and why medication alone may not be the complete answer to sustainable weight management.

Most importantly, Dr. Hevi explains how people can work with their biology rather than constantly fighting against it.

This is a conversation about replacing shame with understanding—and turning that understanding into a practical path forward.

What happens after you survive cancer but realize the journey isn't over?

In this episode of The Ufuoma Show, Ufuoma Oghenevwede sits down with Jonathan Brandt, host of the GoOutLiving Podcast and owner of Brandt Performance Health Coaching.

Jonathan shares his personal journey of surviving cancer and then dealing with the unexpected challenges that followed, including weight gain and gut issues.

After struggling to find the answers he was looking for, Jonathan took his health education into his own hands, earning certifications in health and wellness, holistic nutrition, and personal training.

What began as a personal journey to rebuild his own health eventually became a calling to help others navigate their own battles.

We talk about life after cancer treatment, becoming your own health advocate, nutrition, exercise, gut health, sustainable lifestyle changes, and the importance of turning difficult experiences into purpose.

Jonathan also shares what he's learned from helping others through Brandt Performance Health Coaching and from hosting the GoOutLiving Podcast.

A powerful conversation about resilience, self-education, health, and finding purpose on the other side of adversity.

What happens when a lifetime of real-world experiences becomes the inspiration for fiction?

In this episode of The Ufuoma Show, Ufuoma Oghenevwede sits down with storyteller, outdoorsman, and self-published author Robert O. Bowers.

After a remarkable 43-year career with ODOT, Rob stepped into a new chapter of life as a full-time writer. His stories draw heavily from his experiences hunting, fishing, working outdoors, and encountering moments that don't always have a logical explanation.

Rob's fascination with cryptids, UFOs, ghosts, and the unexplained has given his writing a unique combination of humor, suspense, mystery, and real-life authenticity.

We talk about his unusual outdoor encounters, how real experiences become fictional stories, the lessons he learned from decades of work and life outdoors, the realities of self-publishing, and why it's never too late to pursue a creative passion.

At the heart of this conversation is a simple philosophy: pay attention, stay curious, and you'll never run out of stories to tell.

What happens when marriage brings together not just two people, but two cultures, two families, and two very different expectations?

In this episode of The Ufuoma Show, Ufuoma Oghenevwede sits down with author and Live Your Best Marriage co-founder Pesa Shayo to explore the challenges cross-cultural Christian couples face when dealing with in-law pressure, cultural clashes, family expectations, and loyalty conflicts.

Pesa explains why couples can become divided when outside pressure enters the marriage—and how they can shift from fighting each other to facing the problem together.

We talk about boundaries with in-laws, choosing your spouse without disrespecting your family, navigating cultural differences, communicating through conflict, and building a marriage where both partners know they are on the same team.

If you've ever wondered how to protect your marriage while still honoring your family, this conversation offers practical insights for building a stronger and more united relationship.
