When your dream dies: Finding Purpose After Disappointment ft Judith Omoregie | Ep 82
There’s a lot of talk about chasing dreams and building businesses, but what happens when the dream doesn’t work out the way you imagined? Too often, failure is spoken about only in hindsight, once someone has already bounced back. But in real time, it can feel confusing, painful and deeply personal.In this week’s episode, we sit down with London-based entrepreneur and creator Judith Omoregie to explore what it really looks like when a venture comes to an end. From building her tech company E-Fitter from scratch to navigating its closure, Judith shares the highs, the heartbreak, and the courage it takes to start again.We discuss identity, resilience and what it means to uncouple your worth from your work. Judith’s story is an honest reminder that endings are not final - they can be the very place where new beginnings take shape.What if the thing that didn’t work out was never meant to define you, but to redirect you?Watch as hosts Ruth Yimika Afolabi and Julia Strachan sit down with Judith for Ep 82: When Your Dream Dies, Finding Purpose After Disappointment.STAY UP TO DATE WITH OUR GUESTFollow Judith on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/judithlola_/STAY UP TO DATE WITH OUR FOUNDERRuth Yimika Afolabi https://www.instagram.com/ruthyafolabi/STAY UP TO DATE WITH OUR CO-HOSTSJulia Strachan https://www.instagram.com/juliastrachan_/Sinead Minkah https://www.instagram.com/thepreachersdaughtersm/STAY UP TO DATE WITH US AT MAGNIFY Visit our website https://www.magnifycollective.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MagnifycollectiveFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/magnifycollective/—SUPPORT OUR VISIONDonate to Magnify https://www.magnifycollective.com/donate—MUSICThe music intro on our podcast is from Music BedHosted on Acast.

Letting go of false identity and discovering my true worth ft Julie Galanti | Ep 81
Losing titles, roles or status can leave anyone questioning who they really are. For Julie Galanti, a pastor and integrative therapist, those questions became unavoidable through some of life’s harshest challenges. From the brutal loss of her father and the passing of her sister, to her own cancer battles, Julie’s story is one of resilience, honesty and deep transformation.In this episode, Julie opens up about what happens when identity is built on performance and recognition, and what it looks like to rebuild on something that cannot be taken away. She shares how the shy girl she once was became a powerful woman, what control cost her, and how freedom began with letting go.This is a conversation about ambition, surrender and discovering a self rooted in God’s love. It is about the peace that comes when success no longer defines you and the freedom found in becoming the person God always saw.STAY UP TO DATE WITH OUR GUESTFollow Julie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/juliegalanti/STAY UP TO DATE WITH US AT MAGNIFY Visit our website https://www.magnifycollective.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MagnifycollectiveFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/magnifycollective/—SUPPORT OUR VISIONDonate to Magnify https://www.magnifycollective.com/donate—MUSICThe music intro on our podcast is from Music BedHosted on Acast.
