The Relationship Room Presents: Someone posted that they just bought a house. In the comments you see things like: how dare you be happy. That's where this episode starts, a real online story about a woman who admits she got jealous of her own friend, and cut her off. Ada and Mo! use it to crack open the one thing nobody wants to admit out loud: Envy. Mo! doesn't buy the excuse. If jealousy is rea...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Let me introduce you to the two characters: Mo! the 언니 and Taj the 동생. We met in Seoul as neighbors and fellow Fulbright Scholars, and somewhere between spontaneous hallway conversations, shared meals, trips around Korea, and plenty of laughter, our 언니–동생 bond took shape. In this special episode, part conversation, part time capsule, we reflect on our Niger...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:  If you've been with me for a while, you know how much I love South Korea. I spent a full year there with my mum and my kids, and that memory is one I'll always cherish. But loving a place doesn't mean staying quiet about the parts of it that aren't lovely at all. In this episode, I sit down with a guest I'm calling Sis. Her real name stays anonymous, because she's...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Sade Curry did marriage "right" by every metric she was handed: virgin, saved, husband who checked every box, right intellect, right ambition. Twenty years later, she was still there and barely present, over-functioning and compartmentalizing to keep the front up. Sade is a life and relationship coach, creator of the DIAL method, and host of the Extraordinary Life...

The Relationship Room Presents: She went to the serpent instead of her husband. Mo! says that's the oldest relationship problem there is. It starts with a TikTok story: a woman, Aleti Crystal, who built a business by confronting and beating up men who've wronged women. The comments are cheering her on. Ada and Mo! dig into what that says about justice and shame. Mo! also makes the case that social...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 계속 선택하는 사랑 |Almost Forty Years, Three Countries, and What It Takes to Stay — The One with the Ibikunles: Episode 4 (2026)   Love is patient, love is kind. Love hopes all things, and love endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). We all know this scripture. But the word I keep circling back to is endures. We love to dwell on the soft, beautiful things love...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:  There is a room in most marriages that nobody talks about. Not the kitchen where the arguments happen. Not the living room where everything looks fine for visitors. The bedroom. The one that started full of something and somewhere along the line went quiet. No dramatic moment. Nobody planned it. It just happened. This episode I walked into that room with Pastor Te...

The Relationship Room Presents: We started with pole dancing. I know, I know — just stay with me. Mo! came back to The Relationship Room and mentioned, almost in passing, that she'd just had her first pole dancing class in Korea. And yes, we got into it: the sports bra, the grip, the videos she will absolutely never post on Instagram. We had fun. But then we kept talking. And somewhere in that con...

This is exactly the energy I wanted to open Season 9 with. The rawness, the healing, the self-love. This episode is a tribute to every woman who has been through so 8and chose, eventually, to let go instead of push through. Temi Oseni is 38, Nigerian, divorced, three-fibroid-surgery-deep, and currently living her best life in Southeast Asia on a self-funded gap year she planned entirely for hersel...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Season 9 is here. And Mo! is not arriving polished. This season opener is a monologue; no guest, no research framework, no retrospective lessons tied with a bow. Just Mo! sitting with you in real time, naming what has been true for a while, and telling you exactly what Season 9 is going to be. Here is what is on the table: The number NINE. Why this season hits diff...

The Relationship Room Presents: In this episode of The Relationship Room, I sit with Mo! and we get into the relationships that shape us, starting with the most important one: the one with yourself. Mo! introduced something she calls "ghosting yourself," that slow, quiet disconnection from your own voice, your needs, and your intuition. The kind that happens long before you ever walk away from any...

What happens when the people who believed in you before you believed in yourself finally sit across from you and you get to say thank you on a mic? That is exactly this episode. I am joined by two of my oldest friends and fellow members of what we proudly call the Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarves. Temi, an endoscopy nurse visiting the US for the very first time, and Bisi, an ER nurse who has be...

The Relationship Room Presents: In this episode, Mo! and I talk about money, not just how it shows up in our relationships, but how it shapes our lives. We dive into the infamous Black Tax, something so many of us can relate to whether we live at home or abroad. There’s the pride that comes with being able to support family, and the quiet responsibility that follows. Mo! reflects on a moment when...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: In a moment where diaspora conversations often swing between "I miss home" and "I'm never going back," what happens when you actually spend two months living—not visiting—in the place you left behind? This episode brings Doc Ayomide back to us on the podcast for an unfiltered conversation about my recent two-month stay in Nigeria. What started as a trip home became...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how many of us are holding two things at once: prescription bottles on one hand, herbal teas and mindfulness practices on the other. Somewhere in the middle, a question keeps surfacing for me: what does healing look like when we stop asking it to choose between science and soul? In this episode, I sit with Dr. Tokunbo Akande,...

The Relationship Room Presents: You know that moment when you start to text someone you used to speak to every single day… and then your spirit just says, leave it? Welcome to the very first episode of The Relationship Room, a new segment of the award-winning More Sibyl Podcast, created because some conversations just need their own space. A space where we can talk plainly about the relationships...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: In this age of going no-contact, and in a moment where the word “narcissism” is often slapped on everything, family conversations can feel more divided than ever. Stay or leave. Set boundaries or keep the peace. As we close out the year, we wanted to slow that binary down and make space for nuance. In the final episode of this year, we talk about the weight of fami...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: This episode asks something quietly radical in our moment: what if the real crisis isn’t ignorance, but the steady erosion of how we relate to knowledge, to one another, and to responsibility? In my conversation with Mr. Gbane Okolo, we talk about what it’s like to think deeply in a world that often feels impatient with nuance, how curiosity can start to feel risky...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:  Some friendships don’t arrive with fireworks; they arrive quietly, like a warm breeze on an unfamiliar coastline. That’s what meeting Seohan was like for me. This episode is a gentle, honest look at how unexpected connections can shape how we survive, grow, and soften while living far from home. In today’s conversation, recorded in Busan, South Korea, Seohan and I...

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: In this episode, I sit down with Mr. Mark A. Harris, a men's health advocate whose story redefines what it means to face illness with faith, courage, and community.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: At five or six years old, Mr. Roland Odeleye walked miles through the chaos of Nigeria’s 1966 military coup, guided by an inner compass that brought him home safely.
