What is Business Therapy™ With Joké?

BUSINESS Therapy™ is the podcast for creative entrepreneurs, women business owners, founders, and high capacity women who are ready to build a business that works without losing themselves in the process.

Hosted by Joké Durojaiye, Life Coach + Business Strategist and creator of BUSINESS Therapy™, the podcast brings together the personal and professional sides of entrepreneurship.

Joké brings more than two decades of experience turning creativity into business. But she didn't start with all the answers.

She did what most creative women do.
She worked harder when she should have thought clearer.
The shift from creative to CEO mindset was real.

Joké fumbled her way through turning her love for design into a real business that pays the bills.
Now, she helps creative women make that same shift, because building a business is never just about the business. The person running it matters too.

BUSINESS Therapy™ explores the strategy, mindset, and emotional realities of entrepreneurship, including the moments that don't make it into the business plan. The difficult client. The slow sales month. The negative review. The decision you've been avoiding. The comparison that makes you question your progress. The business that has grown, but somehow feels harder to run.

Joké brings these conversations back to one central idea: Separate the math from the drama.
Because you can be brilliant at what you do and still struggle with the business of doing it.

Expect practical business strategy, honest conversations, fresh perspective, and the questions that help you see what is really happening in your business so you can decide what to do next.

BUSINESS Therapy™ is business education and emotional intelligence for creative minds, designed to help you build with greater clarity, intention, and business intelligence.

BUSINESS Therapy™ With Joké is ranked among the top 10% of podcasts globally, according to Listen Notes, based on its Listen Score.
Listen when you need clarity under pressure, a better way to think about the business, or simply need someone to talk business with.
