The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 이혼 그 후| After the Divorce and the Burnout — The One With Temi Oseni | Episode 2 (2026)
This is exactly the energy I wanted to open Season 9 with. The rawness, the healing, the self-love. This episode is a tribute to every woman who has been through so 8and chose, eventually, to let go instead of push through.
Temi Oseni is 38, Nigerian, divorced, three-fibroid-surgery-deep, and currently living her best life in Southeast Asia on a self-funded gap year she planned entirely for herself. No permission asked. No apologies given.
But getting there was not a straight line.
Temi takes us back to the beginning, the first-class degree she earned as an act of redemption, the marriage to her best friend of 12 years that unraveled within months, and the years she spent holding herself together in public while quietly falling apart. She also opens up about something many of us didn't know was even an option: taking paid mental health leave in the US without losing your job. Her seven weeks in intensive CBT changed everything.
We talk about fibroids, the dismissive diagnoses, the surgeries, the Lupron, the iron infusions, and why Temi connects her physical healing directly to the mental work she refused to skip.
And then we talk about the gap year, the one she gave herself. As an adult. As a Nigerian woman. In Vietnam. Alone. And completely on her own terms.
This one is for the woman who has been strong for too long. The one with the unsent draft sitting in her Notes app. The one still waiting for permission to choose herself.
Temi didn't wait. Listen to find out what that looks like, then send it to someone who needs it.
