In this episode of the Moneymatics Podcast, we sit down with Laraba — a Nigerian-born entrepreneur building a business life abroad — to talk honestly about money, risk, and what it really takes to start over in a new country.
After nearly 15 years working as a dentist in Sweden, she made a bold decision: to pursue entrepreneurship and launch Cocomera, an e-commerce beauty brand created to solve a real problem — access to quality haircare and skincare products for textured hair and melanated skin across Scandinavia.
From growing up around hustle culture in Nigeria to navigating motherhood, financial risk, and entrepreneurship in the diaspora, this conversation explores the realities behind building something from scratch.
In this episode, we discuss:
Leaving a stable career to pursue entrepreneurship
Starting a business as an immigrant in Europe
Side hustles vs going all-in
Cash flow lessons every entrepreneur should know
Funding a business without loans or investors
Balancing motherhood, marriage, and ambition
Building freedom through business ownership
