7년 후의 우리 이야기| Jollof, Joy, and the Journey: A 7-Year Reunion with Dr. Fiona Adanse| Episode 11 (2025)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 

Happy birthmonth to us! 🎉

Seven years ago, I launched the very first episode of The More Sibyl Podcast—and the journey since then has been nothing short of transformative, inspiring, and deeply rewarding. To mark this incredible milestone, we’re kicking off a special Reunion Series, reconnecting with some of the earliest voices that helped shape this platform.

First up: Dr. Fiona Adanse (née Imarhia)—now a wife, mother, and dedicated clinical pharmacist—who also happened to be my very first guest. So, of course, it only felt right to begin this series with her. Back then, Fiona was an ambitious pharmacy student. Today, she’s thriving in her career, raising a growing family, and navigating the beautiful chaos of life with purpose and grace. In this heartfelt and reflective episode, we dive into how life has unfolded since Episode 001—what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and all the lessons learned in between.

Fiona shares her leap-of-faith love story, her experience in a multicultural Ghanaian-Nigerian marriage (yes, we talk jollof wars!), and how stepping into the podcast space, despite being naturally quiet, taught her more about her own strength and potential. We also explore parenting truths, time as a construct, and the power of rest, even during the whirlwind. Recording this felt like opening a time capsule—one packed with wisdom, laughter, and deep gratitude. Fiona’s voice, reflections, and vision for the future remind us that growth doesn’t always happen loudly, but it always leaves a mark. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just discovered the show, this episode is for you. Press play and celebrate with us—this one is full of heart, perspective, and inspiration for the road ahead.
