She Started Washing Dishes in the UK… Now She’s Saving Lives | Inspiring Immigrant Story

In this powerful episode of Jakpa Stories Podcast, we sit down with Deutina Idisi (Tina Talks) — a UK-based coach, speaker, author, and tech product leader whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

From Nigeria to South Africa and eventually the UK, Tina’s story is a raw and honest look into the immigrant experience — filled with resilience, reinvention, and purpose.

After returning to the UK and starting over with survival jobs like washing dishes, Tina rebuilt her life step by step. Today, she is empowering women globally to rebuild their lives after setbacks and create a strong “Plan B” when life falls apart.

In this episode, she opens up about:

Switching from medicine to software engineering
Graduating with a first-class degree
Navigating multiple tech roles and leadership
Divorce, infertility, and failed IVF journeys
Mental health struggles and suicidal thoughts
Rebuilding identity after loss
Writing her book Five Good Years
Creating the “Tina Talks” platform
Helping women rediscover purpose and strength

This episode is deeply emotional, inspiring, and packed with life lessons for immigrants, dreamers, and anyone going through a difficult season.

If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or forced to start over — this story will remind you that it’s never too late to rebuild and rise again.
