Who is Shola Ogu?

I am a Christian, 44-year-old married mother of three, born in North London to loving Nigerian parents. My life’s journey has been a tapestry woven with both profound challenges and incredible breakthroughs, each thread contributing to the person I am today.

One of the most defining moments in my life came when I lost my mother at the tender age of eight. The world felt incredibly vast and daunting without her nurturing guidance, and navigating life’s complexities at such a young age was a struggle that shaped my resilience. This early loss ignited a deep compassion within me—a desire to understand and support others who have experienced pain and loss.

Throughout my life, I’ve embraced many roles

Throughout my life, I’ve embraced many roles, each teaching me valuable lessons about the human experience. I began my career in Science Laboratory and Technology, transitioned to Industrial Physics, and even explored Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Yet, I found myself yearning for a path that allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level. In 2008, I took a leap of faith and became a qualified social worker, specialising in Child Protection.

My Journey

For nearly two decades, I had the honor of working directly with children and families who had faced unimaginable trauma. In those moments, I saw the rawness of human emotion—the struggle, the hurt, and the longing for acceptance. I had the privilege of supporting men and women grappling with issues of abuse, rejection, and abandonment. Many of them wore their emotional wounds as armor, manifesting perfectionism and an incessant drive to prove their worth. It became painfully clear to me that while trauma leaves deep scars, it also holds the potential for profound personal growth when approached with compassion and understanding.

In 2023, I experienced a life-changing encounter with God that illuminated a greater calling for me—to help others not only overcome their challenges but also discover and unlock their divine purpose. This transformative experience led me to embrace my role as a Mindset Coach and Personal Growth Consultant. Now, I have the joy of guiding individuals on their journeys to mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom, helping them align their personal goals with their life’s purpose.

My Passion

Through my mentoring and coaching work, I am passionate about supporting people—particularly those who feel stuck or stagnant in their lives—so they can break free from limiting beliefs and patterns. My approach helps individuals realise their potential and create lives that reflect their true calling, not just externally successful but deeply fulfilling.

Despite the many challenges I’ve faced—losing my mother, navigating various career paths, and finding my spiritual direction—each experience has shaped me into the person I am today. I’ve overcome adversity, and now I dedicate my life to helping others do the same. It is my joy to walk alongside those seeking purpose and clarity, guiding them toward a life of fulfillment, resilience, and divine alignment.
