   The Burden and Beauty of Being the Strong Woman

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) Who decided you were the strong one? In this reflective solo episode, Aishat explores the quiet assignment of strength many women carry — often without choosing it. Moving beyond memoir and beyond performance, this conversation gently names the expectations placed on first and only daughters, single mums, professional women, carers, and those who have learned early to hold everything together. This episode doesn’t reject strength. It examines it. The pride in it. The silence inside it. The cost of carrying it. And what it might look like to be strong… without disappearing. Thoughtful, steady, and deeply human, this is a conversation about redefining strength in a way that includes softness, support, and self. Best Moments “Strength gets assigned very quietly. No ceremony. No consent form. Just expectation.” “Strength without space to soften becomes isolation.” “Strength is not the absence of vulnerability. It’s the integration of it.” “What if strength isn’t about holding everything, but knowing what is yours to hold?” “When strength includes you, it becomes freedom.” Key Takeaways: Strength is often assigned, not chosen Pride and pressure coexist First and only daughters carry distinct emotional weight Strength does not exclude vulnerability Strength without boundaries leads to disappearance About your host: Aishat (https://lifesriches.co.uk/about-aishat/) is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.

   What Love Looks Like in This Season of My Life

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) February is often framed as the month of love; roses, dinner dates, grand gestures. But what if love isn’t always loud? In this episode, recorded on Valentine’s Day, Aishat reflects on a quieter question: What does love look like in this season of my life? This is not a conversation about romance in the abstract. It’s a personal reflection on how love evolves - across family, friendship, self, and through grief. Because love doesn’t stay the same. It matures. It sheds certain forms and grows into others. And if we don’t pause to notice that, we can end up measuring today’s love by yesterday’s expectations. Best Moments “Love changes shape.” “Space isn’t always distance. Sometimes it’s maturity.” “Friendship love in this season feels steady. It’s secure enough to breathe.” “Grief reshapes love — it doesn’t cancel it.” Key Takeaways: Love is not static. It evolves with who we are becoming. In different seasons, love may look quieter, more intentional, more mutual, or more inward. Grief may deepen it. Growth may stretch it. Maturity may soften it. The invitation is not to measure love by how it used to appear — but to recognise the form it’s taking now..

   Remembering Mum

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) This episode is a quiet, personal reflection on love, loss, and remembrance. In Remembering Mum, Aishat reads from two blog posts written six months apart - one before losing her mother, and one after. The first captures the tenderness and anticipatory grief of saying goodbye without knowing it may be the last. The second reflects on loss, absence, and the early days of learning to live with grief. This is not a teaching episode, and there are no neat takeaways. Instead, it is an honest remembering; of a mother’s prayers, a family’s shifting reality, and the way love continues even when someone is no longer physically present. This episode sits at the heart of February’s theme: love, loss, and grief, and is offered gently, for anyone carrying their own memories or losses. Listener note: This episode includes reflections on bereavement and loss. Please listen gently, and pause if needed. Key Takeaways: Love continues, even when presence becomes memory — and remembering can be its own quiet form of care. Closing reflection: “Grief doesn’t move in straight lines. Love doesn’t end when someone dies; it changes form. Remembering, too, is a form of love.” About your host: Aishat (https://lifesriches.co.uk/about-aishat/) is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.

   The Books I Return to When I Need Grounding

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) At the beginning of each year, I don’t usually go looking for something new. Instead, I return; to familiar books, familiar ideas, and familiar questions. Not because I didn’t understand them the first time, but because I understand myself differently now. This episode isn’t about book recommendations or productivity. It’s about why we return. Why wisdom deepens rather than replaces itself. And how familiar ideas can help us orient ourselves before we decide anything new. The books in this episode are companions, not prescriptions; meeting different seasons of life with different questions. Best Moment: “I don’t return to these books to decide who I’m becoming, I return to remember who I already am.” Key Takeaways: Returning to familiar books can wake up your thinking before you set goals Wisdom doesn’t replace itself, it deepens as you change Money, work, and value are life questions before they are technical ones Familiar ideas can offer grounding without pressure or reinvention You don’t have to start again — you can start from somewhere familiar Books mentioned (as companions, not instructions): Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki Returning to understand where you are — not to rush into where you think you should be. Who Not How by Dan Sullivan & Dr Benjamin Hardy A reminder that asking “who” is as much about mindset as budget. Selling to Serve by James Ashford Naming the truth about money, value, and integrity — and revisiting it as confidence evolves. Profit First by Mike Michalowicz A practical system that ultimately points to care, sustainability, and boundaries. The Third Door by Alex Banayan Permission to be curious, nonlinear, and open to unexpected paths. How to Get Paid for What You Know by Graham Cochrane Valuing lived experience alongside qualifications and expertise.

   Where do I fit?

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) “I’m starting this year a little more gently — so this first episode is landing on a Sunday, with another later this week, and then we’ll settle back into our usual rhythm.” With a gentle start to the year and this Life's Riches Sunday episode (instead of the usual Thursday), Aishat reflects on creativity, belonging, and the quiet question that keeps returning: where do I fit? Starting from moments of slowing down and drifting into creative work, this episode explores why creativity can be a place of rest rather than output, and how voice and identity are deeply tied to how we unwind and make sense of life. Aishat speaks candidly about feeling out of place in professional and business spaces; as a Black woman, as a business owner, and as someone navigating different stages of life and age. From subtle exclusions in professional groups to generational mismatches in industry spaces, she reflects on what it means to crave community without wanting to contort yourself to belong. This is not an episode about answers or solutions. It’s an invitation to sit with the question, to notice misalignment, and to pay attention to where you can exhale. Best Moments “You’re not just networking, you’re translating yourself.” “Too experienced for some spaces. Too reflective for others.” “The question ‘where do I fit?’ isn’t about geography or age. It’s about energy.” Key Takeaways: Creativity can be a place of rest, not just productivity Feeling out of place doesn’t always mean something is wrong; it can be information Belonging that requires constant adjustment comes at a cost Community isn’t about numbers or visibility, but about being able to exhale Clarity can begin with knowing where you don’t fit Resources and Links: Subscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7349415821372276738) Join Aishat's mailing list (https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/300623/153545522616993413/share) Free Resources → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/lets-talk-money/) About your host: Aishat (https://lifesriches.co.uk/about-aishat/) is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.

   What 40 Years of Friendship Teaches You About Life

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) In this personal episode of Life’s Riches, Aishat reflects on a recent holiday with three lifelong friends: one she’s known for over 40 years, and two for more than 30. What began as a simple break became a quiet, grounding reminder of identity, continuity, and the richness that comes from being known across decades. This is not an episode about nostalgia. It’s about what long friendships teach us about life; how they regulate us, soften us, and help us remember who we’ve always been. Through stories of shared space, unspoken understanding, and reflections offered by friends who have witnessed her across seasons, Aishat explores friendship as a form of wealth: emotional, relational, and deeply stabilising. Best Moments “Sometimes we live inside the stories we tell ourselves for so long that we forget they’re interpretations, not facts.” “Long friendships don’t require constant narration. They hold the context quietly.” “A rich life isn’t only built through what we achieve — it’s built through who walks beside us.” Key Takeaways: Being known across decades creates space to simply be Growth isn’t about becoming someone else, but becoming more yourself Not every meaningful connection needs constant explanation A rich life is shaped not only by what we achieve, but by who walks beside us Wealth is found in emotional connections, not just finances..

   Craft, Courage & the Next Shot: Life Lessons from Ian Wright

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) In this nostalgic and deeply reflective solo episode, Aishat revisits her childhood as the only girl in a football-obsessed home and explores the powerful life lessons found in Ian Wright’s autobiography, A Life in Football. What begins as a journey through the world of football becomes an exploration of something much bigger: craft, courage, humility, emotional maturity, community, fatherhood, and the ongoing work of becoming the person you are meant to be. Aishat unpacks Wright’s mindset around taking risks, refining your craft, learning from others, recovering from mistakes, and being courageous enough to own the places where you’ve fallen short, especially in relationships and parenting. This is an episode about choosing growth over perfection, curiosity over ego, and resilience over regret. Best Moments: “Just try it — don’t be afraid to miss.” “After the miss, forget it. Move on.” We often think confidence is what leads us to act, but actually action builds confidence. Key Takeaways: Action builds confidence; not the other way around.. Mastery is built in repetition, patience, and the unseen moments. Asking the right questions can give you an edge that effort alone cannot. Mistakes are information, not identity. Resilience is the ability to reset quickly. Every day, in every decision — you choose whether to grow or remain where you are. 📚 Inspired By A Life in Football: My Autobiography - by Ian Wright Resources and Links: Subscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7349415821372276738) Join Aishat's mailing list (https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/300623/153545522616993413/share) Free Resources → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/lets-talk-money/) About your host: Aishat (https://lifesriches.co.uk/about-aishat/) is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.

   The Cost of Waiting: Love, Time, and the Moments We Miss

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) In this reflective solo episode, Aishat explores the idea of timeline grief; the heartbreak that happens when we spend our lives building for “one day,” only to realise we missed the moments that mattered in the present. Inspired by a powerful LinkedIn post, this episode dives into: • presence vs. performance, • cultural expectations around sacrifice, • shifting seasons with children and loved ones, • and the quiet losses that happen even when everyone is still alive. This is an invitation to stop “doing life for them” and start “doing life with them,” before time closes doors we assumed would always be open. The episode serves as a call to action to shift our focus from building for others to being present with them. Best Moments: Success means nothing if the people you’re building it for aren’t there to witness it.” “Your absence isn’t noble. It’s just absence.” “We didn’t just want what they were building. We wanted them.” Key Takeaways: One day’ is not guaranteed. Presence is a form of love. Children’s windows shift. Cultural scripts can unintentionally repeat themselves. A rich life is measured in presence, not performance. 📚 Inspired By This episode was inspired by a powerful LinkedIn post (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chikauwazie_timeline-grief-grieving-the-life-you-thought-activity-7395502591075401728-h10N?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAhwLjQBo-y4aRbBZZPHQz1pWl4eHNrauG8) written by Chika Uwazie Resources and Links: Read Chika's full post here (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chikauwazie_timeline-grief-grieving-the-life-you-thought-activity-7395502591075401728-h10N?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAhwLjQBo-y4aRbBZZPHQz1pWl4eHNrauG8) Subscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7349415821372276738) Join Aishat's mailing list (https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/300623/153545522616993413/share) Free Resources → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/lets-talk-money/) About your host: Aishat (https://lifesriches.co.uk/about-aishat/) is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.

   From Fast Food to Boardroom & Fulfilment: The Riches of a Life Well Lived

   📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) In this heartfelt and expansive conversation, Aishat sits down with family friend and hospitality leader Tunde “Effects” Ogunrinde — a man whose life has spanned continents, industries, and evolution. From student shifts at Burger King in the UK to becoming a key figure in Nigeria’s hospitality and foodservice sector, Tunde’s story is a masterclass in discipline, courage, and reinvention. They explore the cultural contrasts of raising children across two continents, the meaning of true hospitality, the role of discipline, the power of networks, and the threads that stay constant as we grow. This episode embodies the heart of Life’s Riches: the mix of money, meaning, relationships, identity, and purpose. Best Moments: “Life deals you all sorts; it’s what you do with it.” “Collaboration is almost a higher level of delegation.” “I enjoy watching people enjoy themselves — that’s why hospitality works for me.” “I hand it over to God when things get heavy.” “Time, freedom, expression, and health — that’s wealth.” Key Takeaways: Your attitude shapes your opportunities. Networks matter — and they need nurturing. Collaboration is a multiplier. Success evolves. Books mentioned The Magic of Thinking Big — David J. Schwartz The Richest Man in Babylon — George S.

    Money Gives You Choices: And That’s the Real Riches

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) This week marks Talk Money Week 2025, with the theme Start the Conversation — and that’s exactly what we’re doing. In this reflective yet practical solo episode, Aishat explores why money isn’t the be-all and end-all, but why it still matters deeply — because it gives us choices. The choice to rest instead of overwork. The choice to give, create, and enjoy the other riches of life that can’t be counted in a spreadsheet. Through personal reflections, gentle provocations, and simple ways to start your own money conversations, this episode invites you to rethink your relationship with money — not as a measure of worth, but as an enabler of peace, purpose, and possibility. If you’ve ever felt awkward talking about money or unsure where to start, this episode will help you find both language and confidence. Best Moments: “We live in a world where we share photos of our food and our holidays, but not the one thing that underpins all of it — how we manage, feel, and think about money.” “Money isn’t the be-all and end-all — it’s the language that helps us express the other riches of life.” “The first money conversation you need to have isn’t with a partner or a planner — it’s with yourself.” “Money gives us choices. And those choices give us space to live richly — to say yes to rest, generosity, and joy.” Key Takeaways: Money isn’t everything — but it touches everything. Silence around money keeps us stuck. Money is about agency, not status. A rich life is about alignment, not accumulation.

    Home Is Within You: Transitions, Friendship & the Blessings That Stay

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) In this heart-warming conversation, Aishat sits down with her long-time friend Julie to talk about life’s many transitions - moving countries, starting over, rediscovering faith, and learning what truly matters. Through laughter and honesty, they explore how courage, gratitude, and spiritual growth can anchor us through change. From Nigeria to London to the US, their stories reveal that home isn’t a postcode, it’s a peace within.. Best Moments: 00:02 – Julie on the bravery it takes to leave the familiar behind. 00:10 – Finding home within yourself after multiple moves. 00:28 – How grief, gratitude, and faith reshape our view of money. 00:44 – Julie’s reflections on her father’s passing and what truly endures. 00:53 – Why contentment and compassion matter more than possessions. 01:00 – Redefining “riches” as blessings: people, memories, and moments. Key Takeaways: Adaptability is strength: every transition deepens who we are. Friendship sustains us: steady relationships make new beginnings lighter. Money is a tool, not a measure: its greatest value lies in how it helps us serve and give. Faith and gratitude bring peace: being present and thankful makes wherever you are feel like home. Richness is relational: the people and experiences that shape us are life’s true wealth.

    The Things We Pass Down: Womanhood, Motherhood, and Money Lessons Across Generations

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) Welcome to Life's Riches. What do we really pass down to our children — the things we say, or the way we live? In this longer listen, Aishat sits down with her daughter, Azeezat, for a wide-ranging conversation about womanhood, confidence, safety, motherhood, and money. Together, they explore how family experiences shape their choices, from learning not to shrink in male-dominated spaces to teaching children about debt, generosity, and self-respect. The conversation flows with laughter, honesty, and reflection — touching on family, cultural roots, and how neurodiversity is opening new perspectives in their household. Whether you’re a parent, daughter, or someone reflecting on the values you’ve inherited, this episode will make you pause and think about what you’re passing on — and what you might want to rewrite. 🎧 It’s a longer listen — about 1 hour and 20 minutes — but one that needed room to breathe. Best Moments: When Aishat shares the story of visiting an estate agent alone and what it revealed about gendered assumptions. Azeezat’s reflection on learning financial discipline from her mum’s “don’t get into debt” mantra — and discovering its meaning the hard way. The candid discussion about teaching children to handle money in a digital world. The closing exchange — simple, tender, and full of love. Key Takeaways: The things we pass down aren’t always spoken — they’re lived. Our children learn from how we move through the world, how we spend, share, and stand tall. Awareness is the first step to choosing what we continue, and what we change.

    Hands on the Wheel: Building Financial Stability with Amanda Edwards

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found → here (https://lifesriches.co.uk/books-by-aishat/) Welcome to Life's Riches. This week’s episode is a quiet, grounding one: a reminder that richness isn’t always loud or fast. Amanda Edwards, financial coach and business mentor, shares how losing her father at age 11 shaped her view of money and why she’s now passionate about helping women build lasting stability and confidence. We talk about the early experiences that shape our money habits, why many women still step back from long-term financial planning, and how to find balance between caregiving, risk-taking, and independence. Amanda also opens up about the courage it takes to price your work fairly, the importance of keeping your hands on the wheel when it comes to money, and the mindset shift that begins with “no shame, no blame - start from today.” Her definition of a rich life is simple yet powerful: freedom from worry, and freedom to choose. Best Moments: “I realized money can make you feel incredibly vulnerable, and that vulnerability can shape your whole life.” “The riskiest thing you can do with your money is nothing.” “You want to know if you have a thriving business, not an expensive hobby.” “That bit about stating your real rate; that’s part of sustainability.” “No shame, no blame. Just start from today.” “Richness isn’t always loud or fast. Sometimes it’s the quiet confidence of knowing your foundations are strong.” Key Takeaways: Financial stability is a foundation you build, not something you wait for. Women often manage day-to-day finances but shy away from long-term planning; it’s time to reclaim that seat at the table. Confidence with money grows from knowledge and visibility, not avoidance. Pricing fairly is an act of sustainability; for you and for those you serve. Staying “hands on the wheel” with your money allows you to course-correct before things drift too far. The best time to start is always today.

In this second part of my conversation with my big brother, Hamzat, we move from family stories to reflections, exploring faith, time, gratitude, and what it really means to live richly. Hamzat shares his thoughts on redeeming time, the role of faith in shaping his outlook, and his hopes for the future. We talk about relationships, prayer, and how richness changes meaning as we grow older. This episode felt like the perfect way to celebrate his 60th birthday — capturing heartfelt lessons, laughter, and the moments that remind us that a rich life isn’t just about what we have, but who we become. Best Moments: “Man always hopes and thinks he has time on his hands.” A quiet reflection on mortality and meaning. “Thank God for my sister — it was like eating manna from heaven.” A tender sibling moment of gratitude. “Time itself is a form of richness.” A beautiful redefinition of wealth beyond money. “Ask God to redeem time for you.” A profound insight on faith, purpose, and second chances. “Faith hasn’t held me back — it’s shaped how I live.” An honest reflection on upbringing and belief. Key Takeaways: Time is wealth. Every moment is a resource we’ll never get back - use it with intention. Faith evolves. What once felt like structure becomes strength when lived with understanding. Gratitude changes everything. Remembering kindness keeps us grounded and generous. Richness is personal. For some, it’s peace of mind; for others, it’s being able to give or to love freely. Family and reflection connect generations. Sharing stories bridges lessons across time.

It’s about people, experiences, money, and books, and how they shape the life you’re building. Aishat invites you into her own journey: growing up between Nigeria and the UK, navigating credit and money mistakes as a young adult, stretching resources as a single mum, and rethinking success in midlife.

    Family, Faith & Foundations: A Milestone Conversation with My Brother Hamzat (Part 1)

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found — ebook launch offer available → here (https://amzn.eu/d/8evYE1z) Welcome to Life's Riches. This episode is extra special. It’s the very first guest episode of Life’s Riches, and it goes live on my brother Hamzat’s 60th birthday. Hamzat is one of the few people who’s known me from the very day I was born. In Part 1 of our conversation, we go down memory lane together; from our early childhood in London, to moving back to Nigeria, to the resilience of our parents and the lessons those years left us with. Along the way, Hamzat takes the opportunity to acknowledge and thank the people who touched his life during times that were far from easy: neighbours, friends, and families who quietly opened their doors and tables to him, making his path a little lighter. It’s a rich mix of stories, reflections, and laughter — with plenty of moments that reminded me how much of our family story is woven into the hustle, faith, and resilience of those who came before us. We recorded this at the same time as I prepared to launch my new book, It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found. To celebrate, the ebook is available at a special launch price for a limited time. Best Moments: Hamzat shares his very first memory of me as a toddler in London — and what our mum said about respecting elders. The story of the Idris twins arriving, and how everyday family life expanded overnight. Vivid recollections of moving from Lagos to Ilorin, with all the changes and challenges that came with it. Our mother’s entrepreneurial hustle — from Registered Nurse to childminding to selling sugar — and how she kept our family afloat. The laughter and shared memories that reminded us both of just how rich those times were, even when money was tight. Key Takeaways: Resilience is inherited. The determination of our parents shaped how we see work, money, and family. Memory is a form of wealth. Even decades later, the stories we carry connect us to who we are. Family defines richness. A rich life isn’t just about money — it’s about people, experiences, and meaning. Every journey has lessons. From childhood in London to student life in Ilorin, each phase left its mark.

    📖 Get your copy of It’s My Life: Lessons Lived, Blessings Found — ebook launch offer available → here (https://amzn.eu/d/8evYE1z) Welcome to this episode of Life's Riches. In this moving episode, Aishat sits down with her friend for a conversation that started with a simple prompt, and unfolded into a powerful story of resilience, survival, and rebuilding. Mo shares candidly about her childhood in the UK and Nigeria, her experience of domestic abuse, the resilience those years built, and the ways she has carried those lessons into her work as a social worker and mentor to young people. She opens up about faith, money mindset, and what she sees as the true definition of “life’s riches.” This is a conversation about healing, resilience, and the strength that comes from lived experience. It’s also a reminder that richness is not just about money, but about relationships, values, and the social capital we build along the way. ⚠️ Please note: this episode includes references to domestic violence and childhood trauma. Listener discretion is advised. Best Moments: [04:00] Mo bravely shares about childhood domestic abuse and how it shaped her resilience. [08:30] How her lived experiences prepared her for a career serving vulnerable children and families. [27:00] Aishat and Mo reflect on resilience across generations — and the impact of cultural upbringing. [35:00] Rebranding at midlife: how Mo started over and found new purpose. [46:55] The “Oprah moment” — Mo’s reflections on money mindset, discipline, and the value of money. [1:02:00] Defining “life’s riches” as social capital — the relationships that carry us through. Key Takeaways: Resilience is forged in hardship. Mo reflects on how her early experiences shaped her ability to bring order and care to chaotic situations. Safe spaces matter. Cooking and reading became her lifelines during childhood, and remain sources of joy and grounding today. Rebranding at midlife is possible. After a difficult marriage, Mo rebuilt her life and career, showing that starting again is not failure, but strength. Money mindset is more than literacy. Inspired by Oprah, Mo shares why understanding value, resisting consumerism, and avoiding clutter are part of financial wellbeing. Life’s riches go beyond numbers. For Mo, the greatest wealth is social capital — the relationships that cover you in times of need.
