    Restored in love: A Conversation with Marty Meyer

    This episode reminds us that restoration is not about going back to who we were before the pain, it is about returning to God’s original design for our identity. Pastor Marty shares that many people drift spiritually not because they stop functioning but because they stop listening. Loss, grief, betrayal or hardship can quietly shift our focus from God’s goodness to unanswered “why” questions. True restoration begins when we stop striving, stop performing and return to God without shame. We are not called to survive in fear or live as spiritual beggars but to walk as people restored to identity, peace, and belonging. Healing happens when we: • Shift focus from blame to truth• Settle the belief that God is good• Stop relying on quick fixes• Listen for God’s perspective• Return daily to alignment with Him Restoration is not behavior modification.It is identity realignment.

    Married, Dating or Single: The Hard Conversations That Heal Love with Oyin Adigun

    What if the conversations we keep avoiding are the very ones that could heal our relationships? In this episode, I sat with Oyin Adigun for an honest, grace-filled conversation about love across seasons marriage, dating and singleness. We unpack why hard conversations are often avoided, how fear and unhealed pain show up differently at each stage and why emotional maturity, self-awareness and timing matter more than perfection. From quiet fears in singleness, anxiety in dating, to silence in marriage, this episode reminds us that love doesn’t grow by avoidance, it grows through truth, wisdom and the help of the Holy Spirit. If you desire healthier relationships, deeper connection and emotional safety in love, this episode is for you. Listen, reflect and share.

    Community, Comparison and Calling with Fola Olówófẹlá

    Community, Comparison & Calling; Description: In this episode of the Inner Script Wellness Podcast, I was joined by Fola Olowofela for a deeply honest and grounding conversation on community, comparison and calling. Together, we explore how community can both shape and strain us, why comparison quietly erodes gratitude and wisdom and how grounding our identity in Christ helps us navigate seasons of waiting, pressure and unanswered questions. This episode gently unpacks the inner scripts that form when we’re surrounded by other people’s milestones: scripts like “Am I behind?”, “Is something wrong with me?”, or “Did God forget me?” and how those narratives can be rewritten with truth, hope and self-awareness. A central theme woven through this conversation is hope not as denial but as a steady anchor. We highlight how faith-informed mental health care, like the work done at Hope Restored Psychotherapy, supports individuals in holding space for unanswered questions while still trusting that meaning will emerge. This episode is for anyone: •Feeling pressure within community •Wrestling with comparison, especially in the age of social media •Learning to hold identity without shrinking or performing •Navigating calling without copying someone else’s path If you’ve ever felt unseen, delayed, or quietly overwhelmed, this conversation reminds you that you are not behind and your journey is still sacred. 🎧 Listen, reflect and take what you need.

    Peer Pressure in Adulthood: People-Pleasing & the Courage to Be Yourself (with Rosemary Adesanwo)

    Peer pressure doesn’t end in high school… it just changes clothes. In today’s episode of the InnerScript Wellness Podcast, I’m joined by Rosemary Adesanwo — Registered Nurse, youth minister, wife, and mom — for an honest conversation about people-pleasing, adult peer pressure, and the hidden cost of trying to fit in. We talk about what it looks like to stop performing for love, how to protect your peace without hardening your heart, and why healing can feel lonely… but gets lighter with the right community. In this episode, we explore: •Why adult peer pressure can feel even heavier than childhood pressure •People-pleasing as a form of seeking approval + belonging •The consequences of boundaries (even when you’re doing the right thing) •When “community” becomes pressure — and how to choose alignment instead •Faith + healing: learning to be rooted, not just visible •Practical tools for breaking free: reflection, values, journaling, therapy, and truth ✨ Key takeaway: Know who you are (identity) and know your why (purpose). That’s how you stop blending in and start living aligned. If this episode blessed you, share it with a friend who needs permission to choose peace. And don’t forget to follow the podcast so you never miss an episode. Stay rooted. Stay whole.

    You don't have to go alone with Nkem Iroh

    If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to figure out your career alone, or worried that asking for help will make you look “less competent”, this episode is your gentle (but practical) reset. Tolu sits down with her friend Nkem Iroh to unpack what it really looks like to go far with community: networking without fear, addressing assumptions early, building trust, and leading in a way that lets your team shine. This conversation is especially for immigrants, IPGs, Black professionals, and anyone navigating leadership in systems that weren’t designed with you in mind—but the truth applies to everyone: you don’t have to go alone. Featured guest Nkem Iroh is the Executive Director of Pharmacy Services for the Saskatchewan Health Authority and serves as Vice President of Black Pharmacy Professionals of Canada (BPPC). She’s a leader, mentor, coach, and teacher, known for pairing real wisdom with real joy (yes, including TikTok dancing). In this episode, we talk about •Why “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” is more than a quote •The mindset shift that makes networking easier: “What’s the worst that can happen?” •Why “If you don’t ask, the answer is already no” is a career principle •How to stop telling yourself stories at work—and address things with clarity instead •The difference between seeking feedback and seeking acceptance •How to build a “professional village” (even when you’re the only one in the room) •Leadership that’s team-based: “When they shine, you shine.” Key takeaways •You don’t need to carry your career alone. Community is not a luxury; it’s part of growth. •Networking is relationship-building, not just collecting contacts. •When you feel anxious about reaching out, ask: “What’s the worst that can happen?” •Assumptions are expensive. Clarity is cheaper. If something feels off, address it respectfully. •Great leadership isn’t “having all the answers.” It’s maximizing gifts, building trust, and letting people shine. ⸻ Resources mentioned in the conversation •The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz •Johari Window (feedback + self-awareness framework) •360 Feedback / 360 Review (leadership development feedback process) •Working Genius Assessment (Patrick Lencioni / Working Genius) •A referenced Barack Obama clip about realizing people “at the table” aren’t always as extraordinary as we imagine (shared as an imposter-syndrome mindset reset) ⸻ Connect with Tolu + InnerScript •Instagram: InnerScript Wellness — https://www.instagram.com/innerscriptwellness/ •Newsletter: Sign-up link is in the bio on @innerscriptwellness ⸻ Support mention •Hope Restored Psychotherapy (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/hoperestoredpsychotherapy/ ⸻ Closing note If something has been staring at you—an email you need to send, a message you’ve been avoiding, a community you’ve been hesitating to join—let this be your gentle nudge: you don’t have to do this alone. You’re allowed to be supported, to ask the question, and to go far together.

    Before the Holiday pause

    This is a quiet end-of-year pause — a slower, more reflective conversation as Christmas approaches. In this short episode, I look back on a year that stretched me in ways I didn’t expect: new assignments, painful losses, deeper clarity about my calling, and the ongoing work of learning to love myself in the light of how God sees me. I also reflect on community — the relationships that blossomed, the ones I released, the ones I’m understanding better — and the gift of renewed connection with family. If you’re entering this season feeling heavy, consider this your permission to exhale. To unplug from the noise. To be intentional with your peace. To hold your people close, and let joy come in small pieces. Merry Christmas, friends, from my heart to yours. Follow me on Instagram: @innerscriptwellness If you need support beyond what an episode can hold, I also want to gently mention Hope Restored Psychotherapy — you don’t have to carry it alone.

    Healing Relationship with Yourself: With Demi Nsaka

    In this episode of InnerScript Wellness, Tolu sits with Demi Nsaka (Clinical Director, Hope Restored Psychotherapy) to slow down and examine the relationship that quietly shapes them all: the relationship with yourself. We define what “self” really means (biological, psychological, sociological, spiritual), explore how childhood patterns and attachment styles teach our nervous systems what to expect from love, and share practical, faith-friendly tools to notice, reframe and heal the inner scripts that run our lives. Key takeaways & resources: ​ Four aspects of self to notice: Biological (sleep, movement, nourishment), Psychological (thoughts, core beliefs), Sociological (boundaries, social needs), Spiritual (relationship with God).​ Attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant — fearful & dismissive — disorganized): where they come from and how to move toward secure attachment.​ Practical first steps: slow down, journal, notice the “sigh behind the smile,” name your inner scripts, and value stillness as spiritual practice.​ Therapy + faith: prayer and psychotherapy are complementary — therapy is the work; prayer is the scaffold.​ If you need professional help, connect with Hope Restored Psychotherapy. (Episode is for education, not medical advice. If in crisis, seek immediate local support.) ​Follow us on Instagram: @innerscriptwellness​Share your journaling reflections with Tolu on IG — tag @innerscriptwellness​Work with Hope Restored Psychotherapy: Visit @hoperestoredpsychotherapy or email hello@hoperestoredpsychotherapy.com​If this episode helped you, please leave a rating or comment on your podcast app — it helps others find the show. 🎧
