  S5E13: Person of Peace: Tania Brown's Blueprint for Quitting on Data, Not Hope

  Sep 23, 20261h 2mS5

  Tania P. Brown, CFP® and founder of The Confident Quitter's Collective™, joins the host for a conversation that's as much a testimony as it is a financial masterclass. Tania shares how a childhood memory of her mother's financial despair, an Army-issued credit card, and a "performance review from hell" led her to a corporate exit she resisted for years — and how surrendering her own timeline to God's became the method she now teaches every client. WHATS IN THIS EPISODE ​Tania's earliest money memory and the belief it planted ​Why her "Round 1" of business was disobedience wearing the costume of obedience ​Her Luke 10 "person of peace" framework for choosing the right clients ​The difference between quitting on data (bold) and quitting on hope (reckless) ​Her four financial blind spots: Pollyanna budgeting, benefits blindness, the business black hole, and pricing for poverty ​Why confidence is a coin you put in a tank, one action at a time ​Her closing charge, borrowed from Harriet Tubman ABOUT TANIA Tania P. Brown, CFP®, a Job Exit Strategist™ and founder of The Confident Quitter's Collective™ joins us. From soldier to advisor to VP to business owner, she's mastered vocational transitions herself — and coached 2,000+ others toward financial goals along the way. After stress-testing her own exit against real-life curveballs, she built a method: a corporate-to-solo financial roadmap blending personal and business finances into one resilient plan. She helps professionals, especially women 40+, exit boldly — whether starting with $1,000 or $100,000. Featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, USA Today, and Business Insider.

  S5E12: A Mature Woman Talks About Living Single with Grace and Purpose with Rotimi Iyun

  Sep 5, 20261h 11mS5

  By popular request — and because it's one of the top 5 most-played episodes in our catalog — we're bringing back this conversation with author and speaker Rotimi Iyun, now for the first time on video and available everywhere, including Substack and YouTube. Rotimi is the author of Wait Is Not a Four-Letter Word: The Mature Woman's Guide to Living Single with Grace and Purpose. In this conversation, host Morenike Ogebe and Rotimi talk candidly about singleness in the church, waiting well, and what it means to build a life — not a holding pattern — while you wait. If you loved our recent conversation with S5E11 Shell Peterson on her "season of shedding," this episode is the perfect companion: same theme of active faith through uncertainty, different vantage point. ABOUT ROTIMI IYUN Rotimi Iyun is an author, speaker, and singer whose work bridges the gap between mature single women and the church community around them. A senior consulting manager by trade, she also holds a doctorate exploring the evolution of marriage as a social institution. Her book took four years to write — not because of the research, but because of the vulnerability it required. WHAT WE COVER Why it took four years to bring Wait Is Not a Four-Letter Word to print Answering "why aren't you married?" with grace instead of defensiveness "It's not material to God fulfilling His plan for me right now" — reframing singleness through God's perspective rather than your own The church's silence on divorce, remarriage, and abusive marriages — and what Scripture actually says Facing the fear of "what if I never get married?" head-on, and the practical steps that come after The difference between a good marriage and a “God marriage” Responding to the idea that waiting until marriage is "outdated" Waiting as a life skill every Christian needs — not just single people The "serial killer test": a humorous, pointed way to separate surface-level qualities from real character Practical ways to prepare spiritually, emotionally, and physically while you wait The "inner vow" concept — how unresolved childhood wounds quietly shape our expectations in relationships How to actually be a good friend to the single women in your life (and a few well-meaning habits to drop) CONNECT WITH ROTIMI IYUN Book: “Wait Is Not a Four-Letter Word” — available everywhere books are sold Email: timi@rotimiiyun.com Website: https://rotimiiyun.com/ Music Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/artists/B07SSMJTKH/rotimi-iyun Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/rotimi-iyun/1467303506 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rotimiiyun Related Listening S5E11 “Positioned for the Blessing: Shell Peterson's Season of Shedding" — a natural companion episode on active faith through uncertainty.

  S5E11: Positioned for Blessing: Shell Peterson's Season of Shedding

  Aug 27, 202659 minS5

  Our guest Shell Peterson is a single mom and entrepreneur who built her career from scratch — from a decade in optometry to founding A Courageous Beauty (a top DC blog), and Shell Social and Strategies, now leading marketing for The District Cup. In this episode, she opens up about her “shedding season” — a year of loss that prepared her to receive the exact opportunity she’d prayed for — and the courage and boundaries that carry her through single motherhood and entrepreneurship. ABOUT SHELL PETERSON Shell Peterson is a single mom, entrepreneur, and marketing strategist who's built a career out of pivots — from a decade in optometry, to a blog she started while pregnant and named after her daughter, to running her own agency and now leading marketing for The District Cup. In this conversation, Shell opens up about the year she called her "shedding season" — losing clients and friendships while praying one bold prayer for exactly the right opportunity — and how that season prepared her to receive it. She talks candidly about her faith, about being adopted at 12, choosing courage over the fear she grew up with, protecting her daughter's world from her public one, and why her real support system isn't people — it's time.

  In this milestone 50th episode of Elevating Good, the host sits down with her sister, Pastor (Dr.) Manita Fadel — First Lady of RCCG The Americas I and a former pediatrician turned full-time minister. She oversees Children and Youth Ministries, leads Women in Ministry, and founded The Pastors' Wives' Forum. Author of Fifty and Fabulous and Diet and Lifestyle for Kingdom Living, Dr. Fadel candidly shares her midlife journey through insulin resistance, and how she found joy — not punishment — in the discipline of stewarding her body through diet and exercise.

The General Overseers for the RCCG Worldwide are Pastors Enoch and Foluke Adeboye. Pastor Manita is a Pediatrician, with 10 years of experience, before she was called into full-time ministry. Her experience in medical practice, combined with receiving Christ at the early age of 9, fueled her passion for the spiritual growth of Children and Youth. She currently oversees Children and Youth Ministries for RCCG The Americas I. Pastor Manita is also the President of Women in Ministry (WIM) in Americas 1 and founder of The Pastors’ Wives’ Forum (PWF)), a ministry of WIM.
