What do you do when grief, heartbreak, and debt collide?

For Toks Ayinla, the answer was RootWork — the goal-setting technique she created at her lowest point that became the blueprint for rebuilding her life.

After losing her father, ending an eight-year relationship, and walking away from a career in wealth management that left her in debt, Toks decided to start again. What followed was a journey of radical resilience: clearing $30,000 in debt, self-publishing Through My Brown Eyes (an Amazon bestseller), landing a global modeling campaign, and coaching for the Basketball Africa League.

In this episode, Nicole and Toks unpack the exact steps she took to transform loss into momentum. From developing RootWork to learning how to ask for help, this conversation is both a playbook and a reminder: starting over isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of the life you were meant to build.
