In this episode, I get to chit-chat with my African dad, a lifelong Michael Jackson superfan (arguably his BIGGEST fan in his own words), and what it really meant to grow up with the King of Pop. We’re talking about listening to Michael Jackson records in his village, spending $300 in 1983 on a Victory Tour ticket at Madison Square Garden, calling out of work two days early just to ensure nothing interfered, and what it felt like to watch Michael Jackson perform live.
He also shares the moment he heard Michael Jackson had died, what it was like to visit Neverland Ranch, and why decades later, the love has never faded.
If you grew up with Michael Jackson, or you just want to understand what he actually meant to a generation of people who built their whole identity around his music, this one is for you.

In this episode, we get real about the in-between stage, that quiet, uncomfortable period between where you are and where you’re trying to go. We’re talking fear of failure, burnout that won’t quit, spiritual signals you might be ignoring, and why feeling stuck might actually be exactly where you’re supposed to be right now.
I also share personal stories about choosing content creation over medical school, burning out at the height of my success, and what finally gave me clarity when nothing made sense.
If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you’re still trying to find your footing, this one is for you.

Get Sade’s book: Ready. Set. Wait: http://amzn.to/3EcRpD4
Imagine being single and abstinent for 13 years. No situationships. Just you, God, and a promise you’re still waiting to see come to pass. That’s exactly where Sade Turner found herself for 13 years, trusting God with her love life.

Nobody warns you about the moment you see yourself in a photo and barely recognize the person looking back.
In this episode, I'm getting completely unfiltered about my body — the weight gain cycles, a sugar addiction that nearly tipped me into pre-diabetes, and the honest conversation I had to have with myself before anything actually changed.
This isn't about chasing a body type or caving to outside pressure. It's about getting real with yourself, understanding your body, and building habits that actually stick. If you've ever felt stuck in the same cycle with your weight, your cravings, or your relationship with food — this one is for you.

In this episode, I finally sit down with both of my Nigerian parents together for the first time, and we get into all of it.
My mom's reaction to finding out I was getting high as a kid. The love story between my parents that involved a 9-year separation, exchanged letters, and governors asking for her hand in marriage. What growing up in poverty in Nigeria taught them about adulthood — and why my 30 looks nothing like theirs did. How parenting in America forced them to make sacrifices they didn't see coming. And the question every African parent eventually circles back to... you already know.
If you've ever felt the gap between how you grew up and how your parents did — or you're still trying to close the distance with your family — this one is for you.

What does it really take to walk away from Google at 26 and take a bet on yourself as an entrepreneur?
In Episode 19 of I Guess I’m an Adult Now, I sat with Caitlyn Kumi — ex-Google Marketing Manager, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, founder of Miss Empower Her, and a finance-focused creator to unpack a career pivot most people are too afraid to make.
From leveraging content to land a role at Google, to building a brand that empowers thousands of women to take control of their money, Caitlyn breaks down the strategy behind every move.
We talk about first-gen upbringing, immigrant work ethic, elite spaces, and how early exposure shaped her standards around wealth, relationships, and long-term security.
She shares her honest take on dating as a high-earning woman, having real conversations about credit scores and debt, planning for kids before engagement, and building generational wealth with intention.
If you have ever felt torn between ambition and stability…
If you’re navigating your 20’s while building career, money, and identity at the same time…
If you’re trying to grow without shrinking yourself…
This episode is for you.

At 29 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD.
As a high-achieving Black woman, entrepreneur, and Christian, ADHD was never something I thought applied to me. I did well in school. I built a business. I was “fine.” But behind the scenes, I struggled with focus, organization, finishing projects, and constantly feeling like I just wasn’t living up to my full potential.
In Episode 18 of I Guess I’m an Adult Now, I open up about being diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at 29 — the signs I missed as a child, how depression and anxiety masked it for years, and what finally pushed me to get tested.

How does a Trinidad-born, NYC-raised child go from a Political Science major at Vanderbilt to a Marketing manager at Google, to Culture shifting Influencer with over 300k followers, to Mba at Columbia Business School.
In Episode 17 of I Guess I’m an Adult Now, we sit down with Cedoni Francis — ex-Google employee, Columbia Business School MBA student, and content creator — to unpack a journey that doesn’t follow the usual creator playbook.
This conversation also dives deep into upbringing, education, immigrant parents, elite schools, scholarships, and how early exposure and discipline shaped her mindset around success, money, and independence.

The podcast is back with Season 2, and we’re starting off with a real one. In this episode, I open up about what it actually means to be a content creator, the pressure, the uncertainty, and the parts no one really talks about. From chasing purpose to questioning stability, I share what I’ve learned about building a creative life in a world that doesn’t always understand it.
If you’ve ever thought about becoming a creator/Influencer or wondered what it’s really like behind the camera, this one’s for you.

For the first time ever, I sat down with my dad to talk about my struggle with weed addiction. I wanted to know—did he know? Did he ever suspect? And what was it like for him, watching me go through life while secretly battling something I couldn’t talk about?
The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Papa Duru shares his own experimentation with marijuana after immigrating to America from Nigeria—a story he'd never told his daughter before this recording.
His vivid description of cultural shock moving from a Nigerian village where drug use was heavily stigmatized to New York during the crack epidemic provides crucial context for understanding immigrant perspectives on substance use.

In this episode, I talk about how I got addicted to w*ed in college, the mental and emotional spiral that came with it, and what healing looked like for me.
And if you’ve ever felt like something had a hold on you, maybe this one’s for you, too.
If you’d like to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can right now.
Confess your sins and ask for forgiveness
Decide in your heart to turn away from living a life not pleasing to God
Acknowledge the sacrifice Jesus made for you - that he died, resurrected, and is alive today.
Accept Him as your Lord and Savior
Ask to receive the power of the Holy Spirit to transform you from the inside out and that he will rule and reign in your heart

For a long time, I didn’t think I had a problem.
Marijuana was just something I used to relax… a little something something once in a while, you know. Until it became a full-on 8-year addiction.
In this episode, I talk about how I got addicted to maryjanes in college, the mental and emotional spiral that came with it, and what healing looked like for me.
This isn’t about judgment — it’s about honesty and reevaluating our relationship with drugs.
