In this episode of Our Greener Pastures, we sit down with Onome, also known as Numzy, to discuss her inspiring journey of relocation, career change, and personal growth. After spending most of her adult life as a banker, Onome made the bold decision to go back to school to study nursing, all while raising her kids. She opens up about the challenges of balancing motherhood with the demands of education and how she remained grounded through it all.
Onome also shares her experience of building a new community of friends in her 30s and the importance of nurturing those relationships, even with the responsibilities of family and school. Whether you're a parent, student, or someone making a major life shift, Onome's story offers valuable insights on resilience, balance, and the power of community.
