19 | Is It Wrong to Want More Money as a Woman of Faith?

EP19: Is It Wrong to Want More Money? Faith, Ambition, and the Truth — A Social Worker Mum's Story 📅 20 May 2026 You've never said it out loud. But you've thought it. "Is it wrong for me to want more? Am I being greedy? Is this ungodly?" And somewhere along the way — maybe in church, maybe from people around you — you buried that dream. You told yourself wanting more was selfish. So you settled. You stayed small. You called it faith. But what if you were wrong about what God actually wants for you?   In this episode, we go to the Bible itself — not the sermon, not the secondhand interpretation — the actual text. And what it says about you, your ambition, and your money might surprise you.   In this episode: - Why the guilt you're carrying about wanting wealth is not from God — it's from people, and it's time to put it down - What Genesis 8:18 really says about God and your ability to produce wealth (hint: He doesn't just allow it) - The truth behind Matthew 19:24 — the camel and the needle — and why it's been widely misread for years - The medical mission crusade story that changed everything about how Ade sees prosperity and kingdom work - Why building financial freedom and building God's kingdom are not in opposition — they were always meant to go together   Ready to explore what else is possible?

18 | The Lie Keeping You Stuck: How Social Worker Mums Build Flexible Income in 20 Minutes

EP18: The Lie Keeping You Stuck — How Social Worker Mums Build Flexible Income in Pockets of Time 📅 14 May 2026 You keep saying you don't have time. As a social worker mum with a full job, kids, and burnout creeping in, that's real. But what if building flexible income doesn't need hours? What if 20 minutes is enough? Last week I was sitting in a hospital with my dad. I'm working on my laptop — answering emails, scheduling content — just showing up in the time I had. A nurse walks past. Stops. Looks at me and asks: "Do you work from home?" The moment I tell her about my online business, her whole face changes. "That's brilliant. Can I do that too?" And I realised — she'd been looking for this exact thing. A way to build income without leaving her job. Without adding more pressure. That's you. You're already doing the work. You're already tired. But what if you didn't have to quit social work to create financial freedom? In this episode: - Why "I don't have time" is the lie keeping social workers and helping professionals stuck (and what's really true) - How flexible income actually works in 20-minute pockets — lunch break, evenings, hospital waiting rooms - The real story: what a burnt out nurse saw that changed everything - A social worker's actual daily schedule — where the business fits when burnout is real - Why consistency beats intensity when you're building on the side - The system that works for nurses, social workers, therapists, carers — the Watch, Copy, Do method Ready to access the masterclass?

17 | Why Two Incomes Isn't Enough For Social Worker Families

EP17: Why Two Incomes Isn't Enough For Social Worker Families — And What to Do About It 📅 6 May 2026 You and your partner are both working. Both giving everything to your jobs, your family, your profession. Two incomes coming in. And you're still not free. The bills are still tight. The savings aren't growing. You barely see each other.

16| Working Online A Scam? I Was Skeptical Too

EP16: IS WORKING ONLINE A SCAM? I WAS SCEPTICAL TOO — A SOCIAL WORKER MUM'S STORY 📅 28 April 2026   If you've ever scrolled past an ad about making money online and thought "that's a scam" — this episode is for you. Because I thought so too. For a long time, I shut it all down before I even let it land.   And your scepticism makes complete sense. There are scams online. People do get burned. But here's what I had to face: my fear wasn't protecting me anymore. It was keeping me stuck. There's a difference between wisdom and a wall — and I had built a wall.   In this episode, Ade shares why your caution is wisdom, not weakness. And she tells the real story of a social worker who started building a business on the side — before she ever thought she'd need it. When redundancy came, her Plan B became Plan A. She didn't panic. Because she was already prepared.   In this episode: - Why your scepticism about online business is completely valid — and where it stops serving you - The real story of a social worker who lost her government job through redundancy and didn't spiral — because she had already built something on the side - What the difference actually is between a legitimate online business and the scams you've rightly been avoiding - Why starting before you need it is the smartest thing a helping professional can do - What it looks like to explore this without pressure, without hype, and without handing over money before you understand what you're getting into   Ready to explore what else is possible?
