She Wanted To Be A Fashion Designer, Then She Became One of Ghana’s Youngest Doctors | Dr. Vanessa

Dr. Vanessa Atikpui never planned to become a medical doctor. Growing up, her dream was to become a fashion designer. But as the only daughter of a father who was already a medical professional, she found herself being nurtured into medicine. She eventually studied medicine in China, navigated the challenges of being a foreign student, faced failures and retakes, and graduated as the youngest doctor at the time. In this episode of Unscripted with Raygan, Dr. Vanessa opens up about the pressure of becoming a young female doctor, what it was like being the daughter of a prominent medical professional, and why she chose to redefine what being a doctor could look like for her. We also get into the things she has learned from practising medicine, some important conversations about sleep, everyday addictions, heart health and women's health, why 8 hours of sleep is ideal but isn't always feasible And for Ghanaian women, Dr. Vanessa has a simple reminder: your body is uniquely yours. Don't compare it to anyone else's, and make sure the health information you follow is verified. This is a conversation about becoming, adapting, taking care of yourself, and finding meaning in the circumstances life gives you.

Your salary isn't the only thing that determines your financial future. In this conversation, we sit down with financial expert Desmond Bredu to talk about the money skills most of us were never taught and how to actually start building wealth with what you have. From earning and budgeting to saving, investing, debt, and multiple sources of income, we break down the practical decisions that can change how you manage money. We talk about: • Why relying on one source of income can leave you vulnerable • Why the average millionaire has multiple sources of income • The 4 key money questions: how much you make, spend, save, and how you can improve • Why saving and investing are not the same thing • How someone earning GH₵1,000 can think about saving and investing • How you can start investing with as little as GH₵50 • The different types of mutual funds available in Ghana • When debt can be used to build wealth and when it doesn't make sense • How inflation quietly erodes the value of your money • Why building wealth isn't only about making more money • Why money is a skill that needs to be deliberately learned • Why due diligence matters before you invest The goal isn't simply to make more money. It's to learn how to make money, keep money and ultimately build wealth. Watch the full conversation and let us know: what money skill do you wish you had learned earlier?
