The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 생명의 다리| A Guide to Your Sùúrùgate Journey - The One with The Sùúrùgate Team | Episode 16 (2025)

I have one goal this month: demystifying surrogacy. In this episode, I’m joined by some amazing people to help me achieve just that.

Together with Olubusola Jeremiah-Yusuf, Chidinma Ewo-Mebradu, and Taiwo (my husband), we bring the perspective of medical professionals and commissioning parents. We explored what it means to pursue surrogacy ethically, the emotional realities that intended parents must prepare for, and the importance of building a strong support system. Busolami and Chidinma offered professional insights and practical guidance on navigating the process responsibly.

The highlight of this episode is the light we shine on the need to treat surrogates with dignity and fairness. Including the role of education, legal protections, emotional support, and ethical practices in shaping a positive surrogacy experience.

Taiwo shared his perspective on the importance of honest communication between partners, and I opened up about my own emotional journey as a commissioning mom—what it felt like to prepare for a child I wasn’t carrying, how I managed anxiety and grief from previous losses, and the deep trust and faith required throughout the process.

This episode is both a personal reflection and a practical guide for anyone considering surrogacy. We covered everything from preparing for parenthood and supporting surrogates to handling logistics and family dynamics.

If you’re thinking about surrogacy or currently navigating the journey, you have to listen to this conversation.

우리의 대리모 이야기| Our Sùúrùgate Journey - Welcoming our Joy | Episode 15 (2025)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 우리의 대리모 이야기| Our Sùúrùgate Journey - Welcoming our Joy | Episode 15 (2025)

Last year, I had my second child through surrogacy. It was a long, tedious, and rewarding journey that inspired this series: Sùúrùgate. This premiere episode of the Sùúrùgate series is a deeply personal monologue about my journey to motherhood. A journey that spanned nearly a decade and took me through infertility, loss, hope, adoption, and finally, surrogacy.

I open up about the early days of trying to conceive, the countless medical procedures, failed IVF cycles, and the heartbreak that followed each disappointment. I speak honestly about the emotional toll, the spiritual wrestling, and the cultural expectations that made the experience even more isolating.

After adopting our first child, Ariifeoluwa, surrogacy became another viable option to parenthood. My husband and I chose to explore that route in Nigeria. I walk you through how we selected a clinic, navigated contracts, and managed the long-distance process.

I also reflect on the silence and stigma that often surround infertility in African and faith-based communities. Through this monologue, I hope to break that silence, sharing not just the hard parts, but also the faith, patience (sùúrù), and unexpected beauty that carried me through.

This episode sets the tone for the rest of the Sùúrùgate series, where I’ll dive deeper into the practical and emotional aspects of building a family in unconventional ways, especially from an African and diasporan lens. So stay tuned for the whole month as we dive into Sùúrùgate.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 경계의 아이들| On Life Curveballs & Crossing Cultures — An Astonishing Reunion with Tanya Crossman | Episode 14 (2025)

Our final episode in our Reunion series is with our Third-Culture Aussie, Tanya Crossman. This episode is not what you would expect, but it was heartfelt and thought-provoking. Tanya Crossman is a well-known author, speaker, and educator. She focuses on Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and cross-cultural identity. She has lived in China for over ten years. She co-authored a book for Australian TCKs. Also, she helps globally mobile families with identity, belonging, and generational dynamics.

Seven years after her first podcast, Tanya is back. She shares her thoughts on personal and global change. We explore how a major life event changed her life completely. How the pandemic changed her relationship with China and lessons from her latest writing project, including a powerful exercise she developed to visually map the changing facets of home across different times and places. This tool revealed to her just how much her sense of identity, safety, and community had shifted over the years.

In this episode, we talk about why character development matters more than achievements. We explore how hardship can lead to quiet growth and discuss how storytelling can heal, especially when our stories reveal truths we didn’t know we needed.

Listen to the full episode to hear Tanya’s story, lessons, and insights.

We're still celebrating our milestone anniversary by reconnecting with some of the incredible voices from our past — and in this episode, I'm sitting down again with my dear friend, Ms. Ada Unigwe, first featured in our 2018 episode, “The Life of a Woman.” In this honest and heart-centered conversation, Ada reflects on the changes the past seven years have brought — from navigating premenopause and parenting with intention, to building a foundation of faith for her children. She shares how her views on love, legacy, and purpose have evolved, and why she now chooses alignment with God's will over chasing societal expectations. We also get honest about the silent struggles of African single moms in the diaspora, the stigma of divorce in African communities, and how faith has helped Ada reframe loss, rejection, and healing. Plus, she opens up about her dating journey, her decision to step back, and what it looks like to trust God one day at a time. If you're navigating heartbreak, solo parenting, or simply seeking encouragement in your faith journey, this episode is a poignant reminder: your story matters, with its scars, softness, strength, and all.

Happy birthmonth to us! 🎉

Seven years ago, I launched the very first episode of The More Sibyl Podcast—and the journey since then has been nothing short of transformative, inspiring, and deeply rewarding. To mark this incredible milestone, we’re kicking off a special Reunion Series, reconnecting with some of the earliest voices that helped shape this platform.

First up: Dr. Fiona Adanse (née Imarhia)—now a wife, mother, and dedicated clinical pharmacist—who also happened to be my very first guest. So, of course, it only felt right to begin this series with her. Back then, Fiona was an ambitious pharmacy student. Today, she’s thriving in her career, raising a growing family, and navigating the beautiful chaos of life with purpose and grace. In this heartfelt and reflective episode, we dive into how life has unfolded since Episode 001—what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and all the lessons learned in between.

Fiona shares her leap-of-faith love story, her experience in a multicultural Ghanaian-Nigerian marriage (yes, we talk jollof wars!), and how stepping into the podcast space, despite being naturally quiet, taught her more about her own strength and potential. We also explore parenting truths, time as a construct, and the power of rest, even during the whirlwind. Recording this felt like opening a time capsule—one packed with wisdom, laughter, and deep gratitude. Fiona’s voice, reflections, and vision for the future remind us that growth doesn’t always happen loudly, but it always leaves a mark. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just discovered the show, this episode is for you. Press play and celebrate with us—this one is full of heart, perspective, and inspiration for the road ahead.
