    Love, Money & Power: Who Really Holds the Cards? | Episode 88

    31/03/2026 | 54 mins.
    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.

    A new chapter of The Magnify Conversations

    This episode introduces a new format, bringing together four co-hosts - Ruth, Emma, Sinead and Veena - with different stories, perspectives and seasons of life.

    More dialogue. More depth. More honesty.

    15/12/2025 | 1h 4 mins.
    Too often, success is celebrated without acknowledging the cost. Many women build incredible careers yet quietly wrestle with how to stay true to themselves.

    In this week’s episode, we sit down with entrepreneur and strategist Alessandra Madubunyi, founder of WE are COCO — a global consultancy helping fashion brands grow without compromising their values.

    Named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Black British Business Awards and recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice, Alessandra shares what it takes to build a business that reflects both ambition and authenticity. From leaving a six-figure life abroad to starting again from scratch, her story is a masterclass in conviction, resilience and redefining success on your own terms.

    What if the version of success that feels right is also the one that lasts?

    Finding clarity after losing what defined you ft Emma Hart | Ep 86

    01/12/2025 | 53 mins.
    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?

    Listen as our co-hosts Julia Strachan and Sinead Minkah sit down with Emma Hart for Ep 86: Beginning Again, Redefining Who You Are Without Losing What You Have Built.

    The Clarity That Came Before Ciara Discovered Her Designs ft fashion designer Kanyinsola Onalaja | Ep 85

    17/11/2025 | 36 mins.
    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?

    The Diagnosis that reshaped our family ft Alice Cantelon | Ep 84

    03/11/2025 | 59 mins.
    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.

    What if the version of you that grows through challenge becomes the most grounded and joyful one yet?

    Watch as our co-hosts Julia Strachan and Sinead Minkah sit down with Alice for Ep 84: The Diagnosis That Shaped Us, Not Defined Us.
