Faith in the Fire: Building Purpose Through Pain, Business & Motherhood

Description:

In this powerful episode of In Her Space, we sit down with Faith Temitope-Babatunde — a banker, entrepreneur, and founder of the Faith Ehimwenma Foundation. Faith shares how she moved to the UK as a young, pregnant mum with a 5-year-old, and rebuilt her life from the ground.

From selling sachet water in her university hostel at 16 to managing a career at HSBC while launching multiple ventures and running a foundation that serves women, children, and sickle cell warriors in Nigeria — Faith’s journey is one of resilience, purpose, and impact.

We talk about:

• Navigating depression and rediscovering meaning
• Juggling motherhood, marriage, career, and calling
• Taking bold, nontraditional paths to success
• What it takes to start a business — and keep going
• Creating a life that serves others while staying true to yourself

If you’ve ever felt like the odds are against you — this episode will remind you of what’s possible.
