Olufunke, Life Coach and Motivator for Reclaiming Time and Purpose

Olufunke is a Chartered Accountant with extensive experience in internal auditing. After relocating to a new country, she faced the challenge of rebuilding her career from scratch. Through perseverance and resilience, she emerged stronger, earning new qualifications, including becoming a Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) and earning a degree in Management Information Systems (MIS) through a scholarship. Currently, she’s also pursuing her Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification—all while balancing family life, ministry, and a fulfilling career at Irish Life, where she has worked for years as a QFA and Retirement Planning Advisor (RPA) to help clients manage their financial goals.

Her journey took on even greater significance following the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, propelling her to apply the very principles she now shares with others. By focusing on time management, planning, and unwavering commitment, Olufunke has reclaimed her time and found fulfillment in her spiritual, personal, ministerial and professional life.

As a life coach, Olufunke knows that distractions are inevitable. She guides her clients to remain anchored to their “why”—their reason for starting their journey. Whether navigating family obligations, work challenges, or personal struggles, she motivates others to stay on course, setting an example that inspires her children and clients alike.

In her personal life, Olufunke starts each day with prayer and meditation, grounding herself for the day ahead. Together with her family, they prioritize tasks, delegate responsibilities, and track progress toward their long-term goals. She believes in leading by example, demonstrating to her children the value of hard work, faith, and discipline.

Family remains a cornerstone of Olufunke's life. Supported by her loving husband and inspired by her children, she cherishes the time they spend hiking, traveling, cooking, or dancing together. These moments emphasize the importance of balance and building a legacy founded on love, faith, and personal growth.

In addition to her professional and family commitments, Olufunke loves volunteering in her spare time. She finds joy and fulfillment in giving back to the community, knowing that her efforts make a positive difference in the lives of others.

In her work, Olufunke provides practical strategies for reclaiming time and achieving goals. She teaches the value of breaking down long-term ambitions into actionable steps, seeking guidance, and staying flexible when the path isn’t straightforward. Her methods have empowered many to overcome challenges and reach their aspirations.

Through her devotional, Olufunke aims to cultivate a community of individuals who will look back at 2024 with gratitude and fulfillment, knowing they maximized their year’s potential. She encourages others to continue this journey into 2025 and beyond, showing that it’s never too late to reclaim time and create positive change. For those who may feel they haven’t achieved everything they envisioned, her message is clear: it’s not about perfection; it’s about progress—and that is worth celebrating.
