From Medicine to Millions: The NHS Doctor Who Built Her Own Empire

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 57:14

From medicine to millions - Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme on building wealth through expertise

Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme didn't follow the traditional path. She trained as a doctor, studied business management at Imperial College London, completed a fellowship at Columbia University, and then walked away from surgery to build something that didn't exist yet.

Today she is the founder and medical director of Adonia Medical Clinic, a premium aesthetics and skin health clinic that has won Best Clinic London six times in six years. She holds two medical patents, has performed over 30,000 procedures, and has built multiple revenue streams from a single area of expertise, including brand partnerships, consultancy, and her own LED skincare device.

In this episode, Ayesha and Ifeoma get into the conversations that don't happen enough. How high earners fail to build real wealth. Why being of service is the foundation of financial success. How to identify your gift and turn it into income. And why perfectionism is the enemy of progress.

If you are a professional woman who is earning well but not yet building the wealth to match, this episode will change how you think about money.

Topics covered: building wealth as a doctor, turning expertise into a business, multiple income streams, investing for women, aesthetic medicine, female entrepreneurship, skin health, wealth mindset, financial freedom, Black women in business, women and investing UK

She Earned More, Paid For Everything & Lost Half In The Divorce - Here's What She'd Do Differently

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 54:42

What happens when you give up everything for love and it still isn't enough?

In this episode of Femme & Fortune, Ayesha sits down with Nathalie Lethbridge, a powerhouse who built an extraordinary career across three continents, rose to senior management at Disney, advised corporations on multi-million pound deals and still found herself starting over financially in her 50s.

Nathalie opens up about the moments that changed everything:

being told she wasn't worthy of an LSE education because she was a girl,

leaving behind a VP career for love,

surviving a brain tumour with two children under three,

and walking away from a 25-year marriage with far less than she'd built.

But this isn't a story about loss. It's a story about what happens when you finally stop letting other people define your worth, financially & otherwise.In this episode we cover:Why high-earning women are still getting financially left behind in divorce.

What nobody tells you about UK divorce law & your pension.

The financial mistakes Nathalie wishes she'd avoided earlier

Why compound interest wasn't explained to her but was explained to her brothers

How she rebuilt her mindset around money, success & independence

Why fear of failure is the biggest thing standing between you & your potential

This episode is for you if:

You're a high-achieving woman who has never quite got to grips with your own finances. If you've ever prioritised everyone else's financial security over your own, or if you're starting over & wondering where to begin, this one is essential listening.

Nathalie Lethbridge is an international business adviser working at the forefront of tech, innovation & the cultural & creative sectors.

She Started Nails Inc at 23 With £250K. Years Later She Sold It for £30M | Thea Green

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 • Duration 01:03:58

What does it actually take to build a 30 million business and then sell it?

In this episode of Femme & Fortune, Ayesha Ofori sits down with Thea Green MBE, founder of Nails Inc, to talk about the journey from starting a company at 23 with 250K to selling it to private equity in 2024.

Thea was working as a fashion editor, earning 11K a year in London, when she spotted a gap no one else was seeing. What followed was not a fast rise. It was decades of building, scaling, nearly breaking, and figuring out how to make money in an industry that looked glamorous but ran on razor-thin margins.

They talk about why the early years were so much harder than Thea expected, how she raised investment, the pressure that came with it, scaling into Sephora and major global retailers, building a business while raising a family, and what it was really like to finally sell.

This is the version of the story founders rarely tell.

Femme & Fortune is a podcast about how women really build wealth, the decisions, the trade-offs, and the conversations we are not having enough of.

From Supermarket Cashier to Entrepreneur, making £60 Billion for Tesco and £92 Million for herself

Season 1 · Episode 9

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 01:03:00

She Turned a Loyalty Card Into £92 Million | Edwina Dunn OBE

Every time you scan a supermarket Clubcard at the till, you are using something Edwina Dunn created.

In this episode, Ayesha sits down with the woman who changed the way the entire retail world understands its customers. Edwina co-founded Dunnhumby with her husband Clive Humby, built the data engine behind the Tesco Clubcard, and went on to sell the business for around £92 million. Today she is the founder of The Female Lead and one of the most influential voices on women, money & ambition in the UK.

The road to success was not a tidy one. Edwina grew up in a home where the daughters were expected to become wives and mothers, not founders. She started working a supermarket checkout. Then she became a "Girl Friday", fetching the dry cleaning. After working her way up, she was fired ten minutes after her husband resigned - because she was his wife. And she built a global business while juggling a new baby, a big mortgage.

This episode is about building wealth from nothing, the boardroom moment that made Tesco billions and why Edwina is done waiting for anyone else to close the gap between women & money.

In this episode:

How a loyalty card became a £92 million business
The Tesco boardroom moment that changed how supermarkets work
Getting fired for being married to the boss
Why women don't earn most of the money but decide how it's spent
Her experience of inheriting wealth & being talked over by her own bank
Why financial empowerment is the real route to change for women
