Shownotes

There’s a lot of talk about chasing dreams and building businesses, but what happens when the dream doesn’t work out the way you imagined? Too often, failure is spoken about only in hindsight, once someone has already bounced back. But in real time, it can feel confusing, painful and deeply personal.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with London-based entrepreneur and creator Judith Omoregie to explore what it really looks like when a venture comes to an end. From building her tech company E-Fitter from scratch to navigating its closure, Judith shares the highs, the heartbreak, and the courage it takes to start again.

We discuss identity, resilience and what it means to uncouple your worth from your work. Judith’s story is an honest reminder that endings are not final - they can be the very place where new beginnings take shape.

What if the thing that didn’t work out was never meant to define you, but to redirect you?

Watch as hosts Ruth Yimika Afolabi and Julia Strachan sit down with Judith for Ep 82: When Your Dream Dies, Finding Purpose After Disappointment.
