- 152 - Why Have I Not Produced More? Overcoming Productivity Shame, Burnout & Comparison | Ep 101
Why do we so often feel like we should have achieved more? And how do we pursue our ambitions without allowing comparison, productivity and other people’s success to determine our sense of worth?
In this episode of The Magnify Conversations, we’re having an honest conversation about ambition, productivity shame, burnout and the pressure to constantly be doing more. From comparing ourselves to other people’s achievements to questioning whether we’re making the most of our potential, we explore how to navigate the tension between wanting more from life and learning to be content with where we are.
We get into:
The Comparison Trap: Why other people’s success can trigger feelings of jealousy, inadequacy and dissatisfaction, and how to turn those uncomfortable emotions into opportunities for growth.Productivity, Burnout & Rest: Why we attach so much of our identity to what we achieve, and how to recognise when we need to push ourselves versus when we need to give ourselves grace.Ambition Without Comparison: How to pursue meaningful goals, celebrate other people’s achievements and stop measuring our lives against someone else’s circumstances.Faith, Identity & Contentment: How understanding who we are in Christ, bringing our insecurities to God and redefining success can help us find freedom from the pressure to constantly prove ourselves.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough, struggled to celebrate someone else’s success or felt torn between pursuing your ambitions and appreciating the life you already have, this conversation is for you.

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 - 52min - 150 - Marriage, But Without the Exit Plan: What Does It Take to Make It Last? | Episode 100
EPISODE 100: Have We Become Too Cynical About Marriage?
We talk a lot about red flags, protecting ourselves, keeping our independence and making sure we have an exit plan. But have we become so focused on how relationships might fail that we’re spending less time talking about what makes them work?
For our 100th episode of The Magnify Conversations, we’re having a bigger conversation about marriage, commitment and what it actually takes to build a life with another person.
We get into:
Choosing Well: Beyond chemistry and attraction, which values actually matter when deciding who to build a life with?Covenant or Contract?: What changes when marriage is approached as a lifelong promise rather than an arrangement that works only while certain conditions are being met?Stop Keeping Score: Why constantly measuring who gives more, earns more or sacrifices more can quietly turn a relationship into a transaction.Can Your Partner Meet All Your Needs?: Whether expecting one person to fulfil every emotional need is realistic, and the role friendship and community can play alongside marriage.Communication When You Disagree: Why being right isn’t enough if the way you communicate means the message never lands.Marriage Will Expose You: How building a life with someone can reveal your own selfishness, impatience and expectations, and create an opportunity to grow.The Relationships Around You Matter: Why healthy examples, trusted community and counselling can shape the marriage you’re building.Marriage isn’t one-size-fits-all, and this isn’t a conversation about pretending it’s easy or staying in situations that are unsafe.
It’s a conversation about something we hear far less about: what does it actually take to build a marriage that lasts?

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - 49min - 149 - How to build your dream life without losing yourself | Episode 99
What does it actually take to build a life that reflects your dreams, your values and who you believe you are called to be?
In this episode of The Magnify Conversations, we explore how to be deeply intentional about the life you are building without losing yourself in the pursuit of success. From money and outsourcing to marriage, motherhood, career, rest and faith, we get practical about creating a life that feels aligned, expansive and genuinely your own.
We get into:
Building With Intention: How to make choices based on the life you actually want, not just what looks impressive from the outside.Using Money Well: Why financial ambition can give you more freedom, support and capacity to focus on what matters most.Knowing What to Carry: How outsourcing, boundaries and better systems can help you protect your energy without shrinking your ambition.Staying Aligned With God: How to pursue big dreams while remaining open to redirection, growth and the person you are becoming.If you want to build a life that is ambitious, grounded and true to who you are, this is a conversation worth watching.

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 - 50min - 148 - You Can’t Outwork What You’re Afraid to Face | Episode 97
What happens when effort, discipline and determination no longer produce the outcome you expected? How do you know when persistence is helping, and when the need to keep pushing is really fear in disguise?
In this episode, we explore why ambitious women can find uncertainty so difficult to sit with, particularly when careers, relationships, family plans or personal milestones are not unfolding on schedule. We unpack the pressure attached to age, achievement and progress, and how easily our sense of direction can become tied to comparison.
We discuss reinvention, disappointment, singleness, fostering, identity and the changing definitions of success that emerge through different seasons. The conversation also examines how unprocessed grief can appear as control, anger or relentless striving, affecting both our decisions and the people around us.
At the centre is the difference between surrender and passivity. We consider what it means to remain hopeful without forcing an outcome, to pursue meaningful goals without allowing them to define our worth, and to trust God when the path ahead feels unclear.
This conversation is for anyone navigating transition, questioning their timing or learning that contentment is not the absence of desire, but the freedom to live fully while the story is still unfolding.

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 - 49min - 147 - How to build unshakeable confidence in every area of your life | Episode 96
What does it really mean to be confident? Is confidence something we build through achievement, appearance and experience, or does it have to be rooted in something deeper than how other people see us?
In this episode, we unpack the difference between looking confident and actually feeling secure within ourselves, and explore the experiences that quietly shape our self-worth. From childhood, comparison and imposter syndrome to relationships, identity, appearance and the pressure to appear strong, this is an honest conversation about the many ways confidence can be built, lost and rebuilt.
We discuss the role of competence, the masks we create for the outside world, the impact of external validation, and what happens when the things we relied on to feel secure begin to change. We also explore dating, marriage, ambition, control, perfectionism, self-acceptance and why knowing our value can completely transform the relationships we form and the choices we make.
At the heart of the conversation is the question of whose voice gets to define us. We explore how faith changes the foundation of confidence, what it means to let God become the loudest voice in our lives, and how surrender can free us from the constant need to prove, perform or be chosen.
This conversation is for anyone who can appear capable and self-assured while privately wrestling with insecurity, anyone whose confidence has been shaken by change or disappointment, and anyone learning to build a sense of worth that is no longer dependent on approval, achievement or circumstance.

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 - 49min - 146 - How to let go when your dreams and timeline don't match up | Episode 95
What happens when the life you’re living doesn’t look like the life you expected? What do you do when you’ve worked hard, remained faithful and pursued your goals, but the dream, relationship, career or financial security you imagined still hasn’t arrived?
In this episode, we unpack the gap between the life we expected and the life we’re actually living, and explore the difficult questions that emerge when our timelines, ambitions and expectations don’t unfold in the way we hoped. From entrepreneurship, marriage and motherhood to finances, friendship and personal calling, this is an honest conversation about disappointment, resilience, identity and purpose.
We discuss delayed dreams, the difference between resilience and stubbornness, the fear of criticism, the cost of pursuing ambitious goals, and whether some of us are unknowingly standing in our own way. We also explore faith, discipline, financial responsibility, social conditioning, friendship, success, failure and how to reconcile our own plans with the possibility that life may unfold differently to what we imagined.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered whether they’re behind, whether they’ve missed their moment, whether they’re being patient or simply afraid, and how to keep moving forward when the life you expected and the life you’re living look nothing alike.

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 - 56min - 145 - You Know What You Want. So What’s Stopping You? | Episode 94
Most of us know what we want.
The challenge is that knowing what we want and having the courage to pursue it are often two very different things.
In this episode, we unpack the fears, excuses and thought patterns that can keep us stuck between where we are and where we know we’re capable of being. From fear of failure and criticism to comfort, confidence, purpose and trusting God with the unknown, this is an honest conversation about what really stops people from pursuing the dreams and desires placed on their hearts.
We discuss ambition, entrepreneurship, self-doubt, confidence, personal growth, time management, resilience, purpose, faith, courage, criticism, comfort zones, decision-making, risk-taking and the importance of taking the next step even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. We also explore how the people around us can shape our thinking, why some dreams stay ideas for years and how waiting for certainty can stop us from ever starting.
This conversation is for anyone who feels caught between the life they have and the life they sense they’re called to build, is tired of allowing fear to make their decisions and wants to grow in confidence, trust God more deeply and move forward with greater courage and conviction.

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 - 43min - 144 - How To Stop Choosing Relationships That Quietly Drain You & Start Building One That Feels Aligned | Episode 92
Some relationships make you feel lighter. Others slowly drain your confidence, clarity and sense of self without you fully realising it.
In this episode, we unpack the difference between chemistry, compatibility and true alignment. From ignoring red flags and trying to ‘fix’ people to emotional safety, ambition, marriage, intimacy, counselling, faith and modern dating, this is an unfiltered conversation about the real impact relationships can have on our lives.
We discuss situationships, attraction, self-awareness, communication, finances, leadership, commitment and the danger of assuming someone shares your values simply because they want marriage too. We also explore how unhealthy relationships can affect our bodies, mindset, confidence and future without us noticing until we finally leave.
This conversation is for women who are tired of forcing relationships that never truly felt right, exhausted by inconsistency and confusion, and ready to build relationships rooted in honesty, wisdom, peace and genuine partnership.

Tue, 26 May 2026 - 53min - 143 - How to build deeper friendships and let go of the ones that have run their course | Episode 91
Friendship is one of the most important parts of our lives… but we rarely talk about how complex it can become as we grow.
In this episode, we unpack the difference between friendship, familiarity, and seasonal relationships. From oversharing and overgiving to navigating friendship breakups, changing life stages, and the pressure to turn every connection into something deeper, this is an honest conversation about how relationships evolve over time.
We explore what it means to build intentional friendships rooted in wisdom, discernment, and faith. From founder friendships and motherhood to divorce, identity, trust, and belonging, we discuss how our relationship with God shapes the way we build, release, and navigate connection with others.
This conversation is about learning how to love people deeply without losing yourself, building relationships that genuinely support who we are becoming, and understanding that not every connection is meant to last forever.

Tue, 12 May 2026 - 37min - 142 - The Pressure Behind Ambition No One Talks About | Episode 90
Ambition is often celebrated… but we don’t always talk about the pressure that comes with it.
In this episode, we unpack whether pressure is necessary to achieve our dreams, or if it’s something we’ve learned to carry. From redefining what ambition really means, to navigating self-pressure, fear of success, and the tension between striving and peace, this is an honest conversation about what it takes to build an out of the ordinary life.
We explore how our environments shape us, how our self-talk can limit us, and why ambition should never become our identity. From resilience and self-sabotage to financial ambition and personal wellbeing, this conversation is about learning how to carry ambition without letting it carry us.

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 - 35min - 141 - The patterns trauma leaves behind and how to recognise them| Episode 89
We often talk about healing, strength and moving forward as if they happen in a straight line.But in reality, our past shapes us more than we always recognise or admit.
In this episode of The Magnify Conversations, our four co-hosts come together for an honest, unfiltered conversation on childhood trauma, grief and the patterns that follow us into adulthood. Through different experiences and perspectives, they unpack the tension between processing the past and not being defined by it.
What does healing actually look like when life is full and busy and there is no time to stop?Can you be high functioning and still be carrying something unresolved?And as women building careers, families and futures, what do we do with the pain that quietly shows up anyway?At its core, this conversation is about freedom. Not just from what happened, but from the version of yourself that was shaped by it.
Because faith does not remove the reality of trauma or grief. It shapes how we carry it and who we become through it.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 - 36min - 140 - Love, Money & Power: Who Really Holds the Cards? | Episode 88
We often talk about love, money and success as if they exist separately.
But in reality, they shape each other more than we admit.
In this episode of The Magnify Conversations, our four new co-hosts come together for an honest, unfiltered conversation on ambition, relationships and the realities behind the ‘soft life’.
Through different experiences and perspectives, they unpack the tension between provision and partnership, independence and desire.
What does ‘soft life’ really mean when you have worked hard for everything you have?Can a relationship truly feel equal when money and power are not?And as women building careers, families and futures, what are we actually looking for?At its core, this conversation is about alignment. Not just with our goals, but with our values, our identity and what we believe about life.
Because faith does not remove the questions around money, ambition or relationships. It shapes how we navigate them.

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 - 1h 04min - 138 - Finding clarity after losing what defined you ft Emma Hart | Ep 86
Too often, we celebrate the makeover after a hard season but skip over the truth of what it takes to rebuild. In real time, leaving a marriage, a business and a home can feel like losing the life you thought you were meant to have.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with growth consultant and founder Emma Hart to explore what beginning again really looks like. From walking away from twenty years of work to finding unexpected peace in a London church, Emma shares how slowing down helped her rediscover identity, purpose and a new kind of strength.
We talk about resilience, rebuilding and how faith can become a lifeline even when you never planned to go looking for it. Emma’s story shows that starting over is not the end. It can be the beginning of clarity, confidence and a life that finally feels honest.
What if the version of you that emerges after loss is the one who was waiting to be seen all along?

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 - 53min - 137 - The Clarity That Came Before Ciara Discovered Her Designs ft fashion designer Kanyinsola Onalaja | Ep 85
Ciara, Kelly Rowland and Jennifer Hudson have all worn her designs. But what does it take to build a brand that reaches women on global stages while staying anchored in who you are?
In this week’s episode, we sit down with fashion designer and creative director Kanyinsola Onalaja, a Nigerian creative whose bold, heritage-rooted work is redefining modern luxury. From growing up between Lagos, London and Rome to finding her voice in a competitive industry, Kanyinsola shares the courage, craft and clarity behind her rise.
We explore identity, resilience and what it looks like to create from a place of conviction rather than striving. Her story is a reminder that beautiful things can grow from unexpected seasons and that staying true to your calling matters more than following the crowd.
What if the version of you that steps into your creativity is the most grounded and confident one yet?

Parenting a child with additional needs can change everything you thought you knew about family, faith and yourself. But it can also uncover a deeper strength, joy and grace you never knew you had.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with pastor and mother Alice Cantelon to talk about navigating her son’s autism diagnosis and the journey of rebuilding family life with courage and faith. From learning new rhythms to choosing joy on hard days, Alice shares how acceptance became a pathway to peace and purpose.
We explore how faith, unity and perspective can hold a family together when life changes course. Alice’s story is a reminder that strength is built in the ordinary, and that joy often appears in the places we least expect it.

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 - 59min - 135 - Rebuilding Your Life and Confidence After Divorce ft Claudia Smith | Ep 83
Too often, divorce is spoken about only after the healing - once confidence has been rebuilt and peace has been found. But in real time, it can feel messy, isolating and deeply personal.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with strategist and storyteller Claudia Smith to explore what it really looks like to rebuild life after divorce. From facing heartbreak with two young children to finding her footing again through therapy, faith and community, Claudia shares what it takes to rediscover confidence when everything changes.
We discuss identity, resilience and what it means to rebuild your life from the ground up. Claudia’s story is an honest reminder that endings are not final — they can be the beginning of strength, peace and purpose.
What if the version of you that rises after loss is the most confident one yet?

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 - 59min - 134 - 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.

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 - 48min - 133 - 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.

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 - 47min - 132 - Why I Chose to Be a Stay-at-Home Mum - And Still Call Myself Ambitious ft Desreen Ahanonu | Ep 80
Choosing to be a stay at home mum can feel like the most misunderstood decision of all.
Desreen Ahanonu is a lifestyle, fashion and motherhood creator who has built a loyal community by sharing her journey with honesty and grace. After walking through her husband’s cancer diagnosis just before their wedding, and later becoming a mum of two under two, she made the choice to press pause on career opportunities to be fully present at home. For Desreen, ambition did not disappear but took on a different shape.
In this episode, Desreen opens up about the tension between social media’s version of success and what it means to thrive at home, the cost and reward of her decision, and how prayer and conviction guided her through it. We talk about identity, sacrifice and what it really means to live with ambition in motherhood.
This is a conversation about challenging stereotypes, embracing seasons, and widening the definition of success for women everywhere.

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 - 1h 03min - 131 - Starting Again When Life Makes Sense on Paper ft Oye Buraimo | Ep 79
Success can sometimes make starting over the hardest choice to make.
Oye Buraimo is the founder of Yaura and the co-founder of the globally loved brand Virgos Lounge. After years of success in one lane, she sensed a quiet prompting to build again. Obedience meant stepping into something new while carrying the weight of being known for her achievements in fashion.
In this episode, Oye opens up about the tension of leaving behind what looks secure on paper, facing the fear of failure when you have already been successful, and learning to follow the Holy Spirit into unfamiliar territory. We talk about courage, identity and the joy that comes from choosing faith over fear.
This is a conversation about starting afresh with boldness and discovering that true success is measured by obedience, not appearances.

The in-between can feel disorienting. You are no longer where you were, yet you are not where you want to be. It is a season that tests your patience, challenges your identity and asks you to live without all the answers.
In this conversation we explore how to let go of old definitions of success, find a sense of stability when life feels uncertain, and keep moving forward even when clarity feels far away.
Freelance creative, wife and mother Maureen Moores joins us in the Magnify Studio to share how this season is shaping her own journey.

What happens when one bold moment turns into a viral platform and you realise it was never about the spotlight?

Dorothy shares how one honest answer on a New York street became a turning point and how choosing conviction over comfort keeps shaping her every day.

Pursuing a dream sounds exciting — until life gets in the way. But what if the obstacles aren’t a reason to delay, but the very soil where obedience grows? In this episode, we explore what it looks like to say yes to a God-given calling in the midst of uncertainty, limitation, and a life that’s already full.
We sat down to hear the powerful story of a woman who launched a creative vision while navigating a life-threatening diagnosis, motherhood, and financial pressure.

Mon, 26 May 2025 - 52min - 124 - God, Therapy, Identity ft Jo Hargreaves | Ep 72
Mental health, faith, and identity are topics often discussed separately—but what if the most powerful healing happens when they come together? In this episode, we explore how our spiritual life can shape our emotional wellbeing, how therapy and theology can work hand in hand, and what it really means to rewire our thoughts through truth, not trends.
We sat down with Jo Hargreaves, a psychotherapist and founder of Faith Filled Therapy, to talk about nervous system regulation, generational trauma, and the healing power of the Bible. With insight, warmth and honesty, Jo shares how we can all pursue wholeness—body, soul and mind.

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 - 47min - 122 - Healing after an abusive relationship ft Rehema Muthaima
Abuse can be hard to identify—especially when it’s emotional, subtle or masked as love. For many women, the cycle of confusion, control and shame becomes normalised. But faith, healing and truth have the power to break even the most hidden patterns. In this episode, we unpack the layers of emotional abuse, explore how to rebuild your sense of identity, and talk openly about how God meets us in our pain.

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 - 57min - 118 - Misunderstood and Transformed ft Megan Ashley: A Powerful Journey of Faith
Being misunderstood is complicated for all of us; even if we pay little attention to how others perceive us in real life or online.

While there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious to be the best for ourselves, and those around us, we can sometimes find ourselves neglecting our spiritual wellbeing in the midst of trying to have it all as women. We want to see us all thriving in every part of our lives, and find out what lies at the heart of us being at the top of our game.
Can women embrace motherhood and entrepreneurship evenly, or will there always be a sense of lack or guilt for not feeling fulfilled in one area? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Fernanda Guimarães in the Magnify Studio for Ep 61 ‘The Juggle Is Real: How I Manage Motherhood, Identity & Ambition’.

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 - 54min - 112 - How To Rise After the Loss of a Spouse | Episode 60
It’s a sobering thought that death is one of the few certainties of life, and most of us have or will have to experience losing someone close to us. Even as women who believe in the hope of eternal life, it doesn’t make grieving any less painful. Our real and raw feelings aren’t a sign of slow or stagnant healing, but a sign that we cherished someone so dearly and miss them being present in our lives. This week we hear Sarah’s touching story of losing her husband in her 30s and navigating that as a woman, wife and mother.
How can we find balance in taking the time to process life-shattering events and honouring the loss of life, while not being wholly defined by it? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Sarah Stephen in the Magnify Studio for Ep 60 ‘How To Rise After the Loss of a Spouse’.

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 - 1h 03min - 111 - The Blueprint to Growing Your Finances | Episode 59
There can be a lot of confusion around how we expand our finances and take the first step towards passive income. Some of us might even feel concerned with moral and ethical questions focusing on if biblical values can overlap with an abundant bank account. With the cost of living increasing, we can use wisdom and take practical steps to ensure a good quality of life despite the state of struggling economies across the globe.
How can we build wealth to help safeguard our financial future and be a blessing to others? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Solafunmi Sosanya-Lawal in the Magnify Studio for Ep 59 ‘The Blueprint to Growing Your Finances’.

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 - 1h 02min - 110 - Why Following Jesus Doesn’t Have to Be Boring: A Case For Creativity | Episode 58
There can be tension in feeling like we don’t fit in perfectly in different parts of our lives, whether that be at work, at social events or even at Church. The pressure to conform and be like everyone else can be tempting, but we want to remember that God made us all uniquely and wants us to celebrate that. It’s our job to show up authentically and know that there is power in taking up space in both spiritual and secular circles, especially when we want to be a bridge for people to recognise and connect with Christ.
Why do some Christians think that having a relationship with Jesus means losing our artistic expressiveness and personality? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Natalia Rodriguez in the Magnify Studio for Ep 58 ‘Creativity is Key: Following Jesus Shouldn't Be Boring’.

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 - 53min - 109 - Surviving a Plane Crash and leaning into Faith ft Esther Longe | Episode 57
We can often take life for granted whether we’re going through heavenly highs or laborious lows, and forget that tomorrow isn’t promised. In this episode we are joined by Esther Longe who gives an account of before, during and after she experienced, and miraculously survived a plane crash in 2006. She shares her struggles with survivor’s guilt, and sheds light on her emotional and spiritual growth that took place years after the accident. We discuss the importance of unpacking distressing moments, and also talk about how we can use our personal experiences to help others on their healing journeys.
Where do we draw the line between re-living and acknowledging trauma, and growing from it? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Esther Longe in the Magnify Studio for Ep 57 ‘I'm Part of the 10% That Survived the Plane Crash’.

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 - 53min - 108 - How to Build a Personal Brand: Standing Out in an Oversaturated World | Episode 56
There are many ways to build a thriving personal brand, but we wanted to lean into the simplistic approach of rooting everything we do in faith, authenticity, and fulfillment. We want to be ambitious women who have an honest digital presence that reflects our personal values. When we press into God and find out what truly matters to us as unique individuals, we can begin to cultivate meaningful experiences and content that inspires others to find success in living their own lives with sincerity and joy.
How can we find the balance between authenticity online and real life, and how much power is there in discerning when and what to share?

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 - 56min - 107 - My Husband Abandoned Me, but I'm Choosing to be Better Instead of Bitter | Episode 55
We enter marriage with the belief that it’s a lifelong commitment, but it requires two people to work at it for it to be a successful union. In this episode we hear Ashley’s story of how there were signs of a deteriorating relationship, and how she finally came to accept it was over on Christmas day. We learn about the journey of healing, developing, and finding her worth on the other end of divorce. Heartbreak isn’t pleasant, but it can unlock clarity and wisdom that strengthens our relationship with God, who never leaves us.
How can we not fixate on the breakdown of a serious relationship, and move forward in a way that liberates us to be ready for the joy that’s waiting for us in the future? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Ashley Andrew in the Magnify Studio for Ep 55 ‘My Husband Abandoned Me, but I'm Choosing to be Better Instead of Bitter’.

Achieving success in the world of investing requires a combination of strategic decision-making, risk-taking, discernment, and embracing your unique strengths. In this episode we get into how Yvonne turned her interest in economics into her passion for investing. We also learn about her wisdom that encourages us to pursue professional excellence while making well-informed decisions and how we can represent Jesus in the workplace - no matter what job we’re in.

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 - 57min - 105 - Love Signs Revealed: How I knew he was the one | Episode 53
There’s a wealth of advice online, and offline about how we should date intentionally with the goal of marriage, but sometimes it can feel outdated, or like we’ve turned dating into a tick box exercise. We’re taking a look at the role of mutual respect, attraction, common interests and spiritual alignment, while also discussing why maintaining a God centered marriage is a constant commitment. It’s time we open our eyes and confront the differences between someone with potential, and someone who has potential to have a successful relationship with you.
How do we discern someone who’s husband material, and not just someone who acts the part? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Magnify’s founder Ruth Yimika Afolabi in the Magnify Studio for Ep 53 ‘How did I know he was the one?’

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 - 1h 12min - 104 - New Age to Christianity: How I Found Jesus in Adulthood | Episode 52
Many of us are inquisitive women who are seeking to find peace and purpose in the world around us. For some of us this has led us down a path of exploring different faiths, philosophies and practises. We can sometimes feel ourselves pulling away from what we view as more traditional religion because we feel it’s not personal enough, but that’s when we need to dig deeper. Self-discovery, self-actualisation and commercialised New Age trends won’t fulfill us, but we know something that can.
How do we shift from entertaining aspects of general spirituality and cultural Christianity to authentically choosing to follow Jesus?

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 - 38min - 103 - Why Money Talks Are Essential in a Successful Marriage | Episode 51
A lot of emphasis is placed on the topics of money and marriage, but when we combine the two we are able to magnify many existing issues, and expose how deep our core values really go. Financial expectations and talking about how we should spend and save isn’t always comfortable, but it is necessary to have a thriving relationship that honours God and our spouse. So much anxiety and fear comes from money dysmorphia, a lack of financial literacy or personal experiences with poverty or debt. We’re learning how to deepen our faith and manage our finances better by tapping into Biblical money management tips.
How do we have open and honest conversations about finances that lead to positive outcomes, when it can be awkward to bring up in a relationship?

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 - 53min - 102 - Why Strong Women Need to Be with Secure Men | Episode 50
There’s so many angles to why some women are labeled as strong. It can be used as a compliment that aims to empower us, and other times it’s a dig to reduce our femininity. We can often wonder how our perception from others and ourselves impacts our professional and romantic lives, particularly when it has been suggested that men can feel less important or intimidated by self-assured and self-sufficient women. We want to focus on being secure and confident in who we are, while focusing on mutual respect and faith-focused foundations of treating others amicably regardless of how they perceive us.
How do we successfully work alongside men who are intimidated by our character or presence? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Jayne Doherty in the Magnify Studio for Ep 50 ‘Relationship Dynamics Matter: Why Strong Women Need to Be with Secure Men'.

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 - 1h 01min - 101 - Leaving the Rat Race Without Losing Your Financial Security | Episode 49
It’s not rare to feel like we were born with an innate passion or drive. In fact, many of us have spent most of our lives trying to navigate where we should channel this energy. In the modern age, we can find ourselves pouring our time and effort into our careers, which can easily lead to burnout. Dabbling in extremes of laziness or overworking are both harmful, but we wanted to talk about the importance of honouring our interests and dreams with a balanced and faith-filled approach.
How can we embrace our work ethic without it wearing us out, especially when we want to build something significant?

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 - 49min - 100 - Leaving a Job That Limits My Potential and Embracing Change | Episode 48
Most of us will spend a large majority of our time working, so it’s important that we make wise decisions regarding the environment we’re in. Thinking about deviating from our current career path can be met with a range of emotions, from confused to excited, fearful to liberated, and exhausted to energised. While it’s normal to consider other pathways, we also know that encountering challenges doesn't always mean it’s time to escape. Seeking counsel from God is vital in making key decisions. We also need to take into consideration that some jobs don’t feel like they’re serving us, but that doesn’t always equate to a lack of purpose.
How can we differentiate between having the courage to stay in a job when needed and the courage to leave and thrive elsewhere?

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 - 46min - 99 - The Benefits of Being a Strong Woman in a Relationship | Episode 47
There’s a thousand opinions on what Biblical relationships should look like, and we wanted to look at what a strong and thriving marriage consists of when the woman is the higher earner. How can we turn some traditions and gender expectations on its head while still placing mutual respect, trust and a focus on God’s plans for our lives at the core? Oftentimes the focus on strong women is related to unwavering independence, but we wanted to take a look into why strong women and their counterparts are powerful when they receive high quality support from their spouses.
What if being a woman and the higher earner in a relationship wasn’t a problem, but a benefit? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Kat Tait in the Magnify Studio for Ep 47 ‘Unstoppable Together: The Benefits of Being a Strong Woman in a Relationship'.

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 - 1h 04min - 98 - Ep 46 | You don't have to live paycheck to paycheck
Life can seem uninspiring and start to feel monotonous when we’re chasing our tails by living paycheck to paycheck. Once we get to a point where we feel like we’re surviving rather than thriving, it’s likely that it’s time to start reassessing our career options, without limiting ourselves to the 9-5 box. We all have talents and areas of expertise that can be built on to expand our earnings, while using our main job as our base income. Most of us are capable, but need to apply wisdom to securing financial stability for us, and our loved ones by removing any limiting mindsets we have.
How can we make the jump to expand our current salary and generate additional income by aligning our strengths with a thoughtful plan?

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 - 53min - 97 - How To Know When It's Time for a Career Change | Episode 45
Many of us have a strong sense that tells us there is more for our skills and jobs. This can stem from a place of dissatisfaction, or be a clear calling to take a leap of faith and live out our purpose. We want to make well informed decisions about changing course, so we can use our gifts and talents in a fruitful way, and show up as our best version for ourselves, others and God. It can be tough to step out of our comfort zones when we want to shield ourselves from potential failure, but when we do that we’re not leaving room for faith-filled growth that strikes the perfect balance between crazy and calculated.
How can we really know when it’s time to make a big career move, and where do we begin? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Dior Bediako in the Magnify Studio for Ep 45 ‘How To Know When It's Time for a Career Change: Unlocking Our Pivoting Potential.

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 - 51min - 96 - Modern Dating is Exhausting: What to stop tolerating and what to start looking for | Episode 44
There is often a tension as single Christians where we trust God’s plans for our lives, but also feel romantically lonely when dating hasn’t felt like a successful series of events. We want to always remember that it’s okay to start again and reinvigorate a healthy spiritual mindset whether we're single, dating, in a relationship or coming out of an intense break-up. We want to remind ourselves that there is no one same timeline for each of us, and encourage one another to focus on the importance of making decisions, and choosing partners from a place of abundance, and not a place of fear and lack.
How can we reignite a hopeful view of dating and romance after the end of a serious relationship? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Rio Summers in the Magnify Studio for Ep 44 ‘Swiping Left on Modern Dating: Detaching My Value From My Relationship Status’.

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 - 50min - 95 - The hidden grief of infertility, pregnancy loss and an unchosen child-free life ft Andrea Pattico | Episode 43
Being a parent is something that many of us consider a milestone moment that we are, or were excited about. Embracing our nurturing nature can feel like it’s best geared towards being a mother, but not all of us will experience the reality of becoming a biological mother. When we encompass love, care and support for others around us we exercise our maternal instincts beyond biological bonds. Let’s never forget to celebrate the strength, resilience and tenderness of women who still positively impact the lives of many, despite the heartfelt and unfulfilled dreams of becoming a mother.
How can we get through the grief of desiring children but never having a pregnancy make it to full term? Listen as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Andrea Pattico in the Magnify Studio for Ep 43 ‘I Didn’t Choose a Child-free Life: Mourning the Mother I Wanted to Be’.

Wanting to pursue our passions and reach our full potential isn’t an inherently bad mindset to have, but it can turn toxic when it becomes all consuming. Burnout is something that can feel inevitable but if we work on learning what leads up to these moments of exhaustion, overworking and zoning out, we can take more of a proactive approach to set boundaries, and become aware of the keys to restoration. We want to live healthy and fulfilling lives that constantly empower us to have a perfect blend of hard work and rest that prioritises focusing on our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
What lies at the core of us glorifying productivity over rest, and how does burnout affect the mind, body and spirit? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Tiwalola Ogunlesi in the Magnify Studio for Ep 42 ‘Breaking the Burnout Cycle: Striking a Balance Between Hustle and Soft Life’.

We are constantly being bombarded with ideals and suggestions of how we as women should live and act. This seeps into all areas of people's lives relating to work, family and wider society. It can be perplexing to know how to slash stereotypes and build confidence, especially when we’re exploring whether being a nonconformist comes from a healthy place of wanting to fulfill our potential, or if it comes from a place of wanting to prove others wrong. A desire to do more and not follow one traditional path can teach us a lot about our confidence, agility and spiritual tenacity.
What should a woman, career woman and woman of faith look like and how do we successfully embrace our multifaceted talents and interests? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Veena Babu in the Magnify Studio for Ep 41 ‘Limitless Women Defy Labels: Why Should I Stay in One Lane?’.

Mon, 13 May 2024 - 1h 04min - 92 - Leaving Islam and Finding Jesus: The Cost of Questioning the Faith You Were Raised In | Episode 40
Exploring and searching for truth and meaning in a world that is constantly embracing different beliefs and spirituality can be tricky. It can feel misguided or taboo when we’ve grown up in a religion or culture that doesn’t encourage curiosity. For many of us, our defining beliefs aren’t just a philosophy or guide to how we live, but a massive part of our identity. We can be shamed for rejecting our roots when we steer away from what we were raised with and that can have painful results. Converting can result in being disowned and experiencing fractured family relationships.
How can we find peace and contentment in the midst of losing closeness with our loved ones, because they don’t agree with our faith walk? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by Fadila Hale and Sahar Twesigye in the Magnify Studio for Ep 40 ‘Leaving Islam, Finding Jesus’.

We all want to put our best foot forward and have the image of being put together and being in our element in our professional and personal lives, but we can often fall into the trap of comparison. We can default to putting on the strong woman persona, because somewhere along the way we have made vulnerability and needing help to be synonymous with weakness. We wanted to discuss where these ideas stem from and why we can sometimes find it difficult to value ourselves when we don’t feel like we’re keeping up appearances.
How can we celebrate our wins while also leaving space for the not so sweet moments? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by Adjoa Odetayo and Diane Tuffuoh in the Magnify Studio for Ep 39 ‘Keeping Up Appearances’.

The experiences and relationships we observe and encounter from childhood and adolescence have the ability to impact how we view future relationships. We can easily solidify our view of marriage, friendship and community based on a negative projection of our earliest representations. We can develop thick skin to protect ourselves from more hurt, but need to recognise that a defensive and overly critical attitude can block our blessings when healthy love and care comes our way.
How can we work through our trust issues to ensure that our platonic and romantic relationships thrive? Watch as our hosts Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah and are joined by Mary Olushanu in the Magnify Studio for Ep 38 Renewing Our Relationship Perspective.

TW Mention of suicide attempt.
Mother-daughter relationships are often filled with moments of great friction and great joy. We’re all trying to figure out how to nurture our familial relationships with love and respect, but it only happens through being emotionally, mentally and spiritually mature. Generational patterns and learnt behaviour can slow the pace of strengthening our bonds, but being open and receptive to feedback, while letting go of the fear of conflict allows us to step foot onto the right path.
How can we create space to grow the healthiest relationships we can, and not weaponise confrontation or respect? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by our co-host Sinead Minkah and her mother Dr Jayne Banful in the Magnify Studio for Ep 37 Navigating the Complexities of Mother & Daughter Relationships.

Being career driven has its perks and building on our gifts and expertise is something to be proud of. However, a good thing like ambition can turn toxic if we end up neglecting our other responsibilities, or becoming too consumed in our work that it ends up compromising our values. It can be difficult to know what sort of women we want to be, and what roles we want to take on, specifically when we want to nurture and grow our careers and our families. Luckily, it is possible to live a life where we create time to have the drive to do both.
How can we let go of the negative stigma surrounding female ambition and celebrate our professional and personal wins with a balanced approach?

Most of us don’t plan our lives with redundancy or unemployment as part of our 5-year plan, but it’s something that many of us have faced or will face. It can be confusing trying to navigate an ever changing job market and wondering if we should find a new 9 - 5 or embrace entrepreneurship and self-employment. We can experience a lot of shame and lose confidence embarking on the journey of trying something new but, it’s peaceful knowing that a few blips in the career road don’t erase us from the path of success and embracing our passions.
How can we not lose faith and drive when we’re facing redundancy or unemployment, and how can we be blue sky thinkers when thinking about our next career move? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by guests Lizzie Bielicki and Jenny Dodd in the Magnify Studio for Ep 35 Levelling Up After Losing a Job.

Addiction is covered in a lot of shame and stigma yet we all know someone who has previously battled with, or is currently battling with one. Some substance dependencies are obvious and others are shrouded in secrecy. People from all different backgrounds suffer from the mental and physical toll it takes on them and their inner circle. Society can be quick to villainize people with addictions, without considering what led them there in the first place, making it increasingly harder to choose sobriety in a world obsessed with excess.
How can we support a loved one who needs to recognise and recover from a substance abuse problem, and how can we do this with grace, sensitivity and care? Watch as our host duo Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by guest Jo Golding in the Magnify Studio for Ep 34 The Reality of Living With, Recovering and Healing Addiction.

It’s easy to have a negative and short-lived view of marriage when we reflect on the statistics of around half of marriages failing in modern society. There are undoubtedly toxic and abusive situations that are unsalvageable, but we wanted to explore the ways in which we sometimes self-sabotage and how our perfect picture of marriage doesn’t leave space for the growth that arises with challenges after the wedding. It’s important to remember to hold onto why we chose marriage and also reflect on the core tenants that bring two people together.
How can we mold a partnership and atmosphere where we stick with marriage when it's easier to quit? Watch as our host duo Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by guest Abiké Abu in the Magnify Studio for Ep 33 Where Are We Going Wrong with Modern Marriage?

With our generation's digital obsession with being glued to LinkedIn and getting notifications every time someone gets promoted or levels up in life, it can be hard to stay in our lane and focus on our own callings, passions and professions. It’s so important for us to have an abundant mindset that encourages us to try to chase after our dreams without negatively comparing ourselves. Limiting beliefs about ourselves and our abilities hinder us and stop us reaching our full potential.
How can we enthusiastically approach life’s risks and rewards and learn to take it in our stride? Watch as our band new host duo Rachel Calland and Sinead Minkah are joined by guest Abiola B in the Magnify Studio for Ep 32 Change your mindset and you can achieve anything.

TW: Drug use.
It can feel lonely and isolating when it seems like everyone around us is reaching their professional, financial and romantic goals, but we can embrace these seasons and focus on how we can grow spiritually, and become more well-rounded and grounded women. We want to be constantly reminded that our dreams aren’t void but each and every one of our timelines is different. We want to live in the enjoyment of now, while knowing that we can do that alongside nurturing a dream that we still hope comes to pass one day.
How can we have healthy goals and ambition without fixating on our desires and reaching societal milestones?

TW: Sexism, coercion, assault.
Sometimes it can feel challenging to be proud of our faith in our day-to-day work lives, and at times it can even feel isolating when we feel like we’re in the minority. It’s refreshing to remember that we don’t need validation from people who disagree with our worldview, and we can honour our values by turning up to work and taking pride and care in what we do. When we think about our career journeys, some of us can look back with cynicism and reflect on times when we felt like we were taken advantage of. This can put a strain on the way we see our industries, but there is still a glimmer of hope with the wisdom we gain and share.
How do we leave a lasting positive impact in our industries when they don’t always align with our core values?

Many of us believe success is directly related to monetary numbers and status. While businesses that thrive need these things, we need to be sure that we don’t get caught up in the trap of instant gratification. There’s no perfect rule book that details how we can avoid hardships and disappointments professionally or personally, but we can always work towards being thankful for each day, embracing all the highs and lows, knowing that every season can teach us a lesson that helps us have a more well-rounded view.
How do we transform our view of success and identity so we have a more robust outlook on life? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by guests Anneka Wallington and Deborah Ajaja in the Magnify Studio for Ep 29 Balancing Ambition with Being Enough as We Are: Redefining Success & Self-Pursuit.

Leading a vision means being intentional with the team you hire and making sure attitudes and work ethics align internally and externally.

Past traumas, whether they happened recently or decades ago, have a massive impact on how we navigate the world and interact with people around us. The healing process can feel uncomfortable and bring up past wounds, but there can be purpose found in uncovering the root of our pain and any additional dysfunctional patterns. While that doesn’t mean the things we’ve experienced are fair, it does mean that we can share our mental, emotional and spiritual recovery journeys with others who share similar stories. Being intentional with bettering ourselves psychologically means we have more capacity to show up for ourselves, and our loved ones. That means we all have the capacity to make the world a better, safer and kinder place.
How can we balance acknowledging past hardships, while healing and using that as fuel to help others? Watch as our host Abi McIlrath is joined by guests Marcia Cassidy and Dominy Roe in the Magnify Studio forDo We Have to Be Thankful for Trauma? Turning Pain into Purpose & Overcoming Victimhood.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 1h 00min - 78 - Ep 26: The Stigma of Young Motherhood: Handling Biases & Rediscovering Lost Dreams
Many of us have a clear timeline regarding our careers, relationships and family. Although many of us know that life doesn’t always go according to our plans, it can still be hard when faced with life changing milestones that feel like they came about at an inconvenient time. Young motherhood can bring around a mixture of feelings like regret, excitement, confusion and joy, but it should never undermine the complex beauty of new life and growing our families. Navigating this can feel mentally, physically and spiritually complicated at times, but it can become more peaceful with the right support network around us. We are capable of pursuing our dreams regardless of when we have children and want this to be an encouragement to pregnant women, current mothers, and mothers who are heading back into employment.
How can we help destigmatise young pregnancy while learning to support those of us who are going through it and learn to embrace excitement on the journey of motherhood?

TW: Suicide and depression.
It’s inevitable that we will struggle with our mental health at different points in our lives. It’s important to know that this doesn’t define us or make us less valuable. As ambitious women we can often find our worth in our productivity, and ability to always be there for others, but there is so much strength in vulnerability. Reflecting on our emotional, spiritual and mental wellbeing allows us to look after ourselves and others better, and it can also be the signal that lets others know that we need platonic or professional support.
What are the signs that we should reach out to a medical professional for help navigating a mental health crisis and how can we support a loved one who’s suffering from depression or anxiety?

Talking about finances can be considered taboo but as ambitious women, we know money is a very important tool that helps us provide basic needs and more. We shouldn’t exclusively reserve financial literacy to the CEOs and entrepreneurs of the world. As women, whether we’re single, married or anything in between, it’s healthy to have an understanding of wealth, alongside a growth mindset so we can benefit ourselves, our families, friends and those in need. We also know that with an increase in finances comes responsibility and tested humility.
How can we use wisdom and practical knowledge to invest and once we’ve succeeded, how can we keep an inclusive mindset that leaves room for everyone at the table?

We can start to question our purpose and it can shape our relationship with faith in a positive or negative way. Being excited by reaching milestones isn’t a bad thing, but we want to ensure that we don’t attach our entire value to achievements relating to our job, relationship status or parental status.
How can we find peace knowing that we can’t control the outcome of everything, and how can we be intentional about cultivating a mindset that embraces change?

Wanting to be married or have a family is a beautiful thing, but it can be hard to hold onto these dreams when we feel like our timelines are delayed, and our biological clocks are ticking.

It’s vital that we have support around us when we go through these traumatic times, whether that’s through therapy or leaning on our community. The passing of a loved one can be the catalyst that unravels unhealthy thought patterns, but can also help us to have an appreciation for the pint sized moments of joy.
What are the practical steps to help us process grief from a mental, emotional and spiritual place, and how can others be equipped to approach the topic with sensitivity and kindness? Watch as our host Rachel Calland, is joined by guests Sara-Louise Martin and Samantha Crawford at the Magnify Studio for The Loss of a Father.
