The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:기업가적인 치과|The One with Dr. Damilola Balogun - The Entrepreneurial Dentist: Episode 28 (2023)

Joining us this week is the remarkable Dr. Damilola Balogun, a true multi-talent and someone we affectionately call "multi-talented" for good reason. She isn't just a dentist and dental surgeon; she's also a partner in her dental practice, an accomplished event planner, and a savvy entrepreneur. Fun fact: She actually planned my wedding 11 years ago, so I'm particularly excited to have her on the show!

During our conversation, Dr. Damilola takes us on a captivating journey through her career path. She opens up about her decision to pursue dentistry, even though nobody in her family had ventured into "a science-related course" before. She candidly shares her challenges and how her unwavering passion for dentistry took shape. She also recounts her journey from being a partner at her previous workplace to her bold entry into the event-planning industry.

We then explore the universal childhood fear of visiting the dentist and receive valuable tips on maintaining optimal oral health from Dr. Damilola herself. Our discussion meanders through her remarkable ability to balance the roles of a mother, dentist, event planner, and entrepreneur. We gain insight into the evolution of her marriage and career.

As our conversation unfolds, Dr. Damilola regales us with captivating event-planning anecdotes. We wrap up our discussion by peeking into the future of her dental practice and event planning ventures. She reflects on her values as a mother and offers valuable advice on instilling those values in her children. Dr. Damilola leaves us with encouragement and affirmation long after the show concludes.

나이지리아에서 캐나다로| The One With Lamide - From Nigeria to Canada and Other Stories: Episode 19 (2022)

Hi everyone! Welcome to this episode. Today, I have a returning guest and a special one at that - Lamide! She was on the podcast some years ago. She is someone who, despite all she has been through, still chooses to be joyful. She is a dentist, entrepreneur, event planner, and newbie tech sis whom we met in Nigeria in medical school and are currently in different countries. She lives in Canada with her family, and it’s been a good experience for her.

How has she been settling in, making friends, building a reliable and supportive community, and her career? How was she able to move to Canada during the pandemic? How has she been dealing with loneliness, moving from a sociable environment to a more independent one? Or the type of loneliness that came from the pandemic? How did she deal with the step down moving from Nigeria to Canada?

Lamide has been through a lot - losing her parents being the most painful of all, and she shared how she’s been able to rise above everything and what keeps her going.

행복하게 이혼했다| The One with Olayinka Favour-Alaka – On Thriving Well After a Divorce: Episode 32 (2020)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Olayinka Favour-Alaka – On Thriving Well After a Divorce: Episode 32 (2020)

Nobody gets married with the intention of disrupting their ‘happily ever after.” Still, a series of events occur, leading to the eventual breakdown of the relationship between two people who once cared about each other.

Kicking off this month’s specially curated episodes is the one with Olayinka Favour-Alaka, a woman I have come to love and admire for her strength and authenticity. She is a facility manager at Alterra Capital, an event planner, a teen minister, and a certified sex therapist.

This is the first time she has publicly opened up about her divorce, and I salute her courage in being vulnerable. In this episode, Olayinka laid bare the events that led up to the disintegration of her marriage - including having multiple miscarriages, her attempts to fix things, the healing process thereafter, and how she is thriving again as a single woman.

This episode is rich in lessons for single, married, and divorced people.

You can send in any questions concerning the conversation, and they will be addressed during the up-coming Shame Conference.

What do you do when your purpose conflicts with your current situation? Do you let go of your dream, or do you launch ahead despite the challenge? Today's story features Olayinka Favour-Alaka, a woman who didn't allow societal expectations to get the better of her. Still, she is fearlessly living her best life as she answers her divine calling. She also happens to be our sex therapist!

After dancing to the tunes of parental demands that yielded no fruits, Yinka stood up for herself and went after her desires. As a teenager in boarding school, she was the victim of bullies who managed to suppress her lively spirit, leaving her with self-esteem issues. Being able to identify with their struggles, Yinka is now a passionate advocate for teenagers, mentoring them in the Christian faith, and through life issues. She is also a certified sex therapist, an event planner, and a facility manager at Alterra Capital.

In this episode, she shares the background story for her various expressions, including describing herself as happily divorced, while testifying of God's grace upon her life. This episode is a must-listen, especially if there is a conflict between your calling and your life's experiences.

Special thanks to Patricia O from Lagos, Nigeria for the introduction.

Best,

Mo!
