Join me as I interview Sincerely Oghosa, style and travel influencer. From a young age Oghosa realised her passion in life but her parents didn’t approve - I know so many can resonate. In this episode, Oghosa shares how she navigated this and ended up in a career she loves even though it was unexpected. We discuss allowing ourselves to fail, how you can pick up useful nuggets even from jobs you hate and seeing her life as a movie. This conversation is the perfect example of the typical route isn’t always best and if you keep on focusing on what you love and your why, you will most likely end up where you want to be. If you follow Oghosa on social media, you’ll know how hilarious she is - she is also full of some incredible wisdom which I have no doubt will help you on your journey.
