What is it?
The Paula Oyinkan Show is more than a podcast, it's a space for women by women. A space that inspires us to become the best version of ourselves at every stage of life.
Whether you’ve just turned 30, had a baby, are starting over or simply craving deeper connection, we’re having the conversations that truly matter to us as women.
Let's take back ownership. It's time to build a platform that amplifies our voices, tells real stories and reflects who we really are.
Why did I start it?
I started this platform because I believe as women we need to be having deeper conversations that reflect the realities of womanhood.
After getting married, moving house and having two babies in the space of two years, I felt as if life was just happening to me. I quickly realised I wasn't alone in my feelings and that we needed to see more women sharing their stories candidly.
I created The Paula Oyinkan Show so we can have honest, nourishing, powerful conversations that reflect the fullness of who we are without shrinking, editing or performing.
Media has a huge impact on how society perceives women and even on how we perceive ourselves. Often portrayed in a stereotypical manner, through the 'male gaze' there's a huge disconnect between how women are portrayed in media vs the realities of what it is to be a woman.
As a woman who has navigated huge life changes in such a short time, it wasn't until I started sharing my personal experiences on social media that I realised I wasn't alone in my feelings. Which in turn led me to realise how few conversations are being had about true authentic female experiences.
The lack of female representation in certain roles in the media industry means there's a need for a new era of women's media where we not only take back ownership but we also take back our narrative.
Thus The Paula Oyinkan show was born...
The vision
The Paula Oyinkan Show is just the start of my personal mission to build a new era of women’s media by helping one million women take up space, own their voice and build platforms that change culture.
That starts with having real conversations with the women who have already been where we currently are. On The Paula Oyinkan Show we discuss everything from finance to dealing with child loss, cycle syncing to the pressure of beauty standards and this is just the beginning.
I envision The Paula Oyinkan Show being a global platform that inspires women all over the world to become the best version of themselves. Not only by sharing the stories of women who have been there and done that but by sharing practical, applicable tips and resources to truly become your best self in whatever stage of life you're in.

"Paula, you are such a great host. I love how you make your guests feel comfortable. You are a good listener - you let them speak freely without interrupting them in between their thought process. I also love when you relate to the guest by sharing your similar experiences with them, but you do it in such a charming way that doesn’t take the shine away from the guest. You still make them feel like the stars that they are. Every episode I watch has me glued to the TV. Your show is very therapeutic. Keep up the good work ️
