We’re back with another heart-opening episode of the BsquaredC Podcast, and this one is for anyone navigating career, culture, and selfhood across borders.
We sat down with Oluchi, a brilliant software developer, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and co-host of the Unscripted Duo podcast. In this warm and deeply personal conversation, she shares what it means to build a life abroad while staying rooted in identity, values, and purpose.
In this episode, Oluchi unpacks:
🌍 Migrating not just countries, but mindsets and why Berlin wasn’t part of the original plan
🧠 How being empathic, self-aware, and open-minded shapes her journey through tech and life
💬 The quiet power of saying “this is not my timeline, and that’s okay”
💡 From YouTube tutorials to LinkedIn Learning instructor, her unfiltered story of self-taught success
Whether you’re building a career far from home or learning to trust your own pace, this episode is a reminder that your journey is valid and that identity and ambition can coexist.
🔑 3 Key Takeaways:
1. Your dreams are valid even when they change. Oluchi’s journey from aspiring lawyer to software developer shows how curiosity and courage open new doors, especially when the path isn’t linear.
2. Cultural identity is power, not baggage. From embracing her full name, Oluchukwu (“the work of God”) to podcasting about diasporic life, Oluchi proves that we carry home with us wherever we go.
3. It’s okay to save yourself first. Whether navigating burnout, language barriers, or loneliness abroad, Oluchi shares why self-preservation is essential, even when you're committed to making change back home.
