Welcome to the first episode of our Men’s Health Talk Series, airing every Monday this November alongside our regular Thursday episodes!

In this inspiring kickoff conversation, Nkechi sits down with the remarkable Ayo Owodunmi, a city councillor, community builder, and true disruptor who’s transforming lives from Lagos to Kitchener. Ayo opens up about his journey of faith, resilience, and self-belief, reminding us that guarding your heart is one of the most powerful acts of self-care and leadership — especially in times of struggle.

Together, Nkechi and Ayo explore how men can redefine strength, create meaningful connections, and rise above challenges with courage and conviction.

This episode sets the tone for a month of honest, empowering conversations about men’s health, purpose, and well-being.

Takeaways:

• Resilience turns struggle into strength and every setback is an opportunity to rise stronger.
• Believing in yourself is the foundation for thriving, no matter where you start.
• Guarding your heart protects your peace and keeps you anchored in purpose.
• Leadership begins with emotional intelligence and connection, seeing and valuing others deeply.
• Daily practices like reflection, reading, and prayer build consistency and mental well-being.
• Empowerment is a shared journey and when men rise, families and communities flourish.
