Grace In The Making!
40 Lessons from My Thirties for the Woman Who Leads, Loves and Is Still Becoming!
I’m turning 40 and to celebrate, I’m gifting you the book I wish I had in my 20's and 30's.
Grace In The Making is a collection of 40 simple, honest reflections on growth, love, health, grief, career, friendships, identity and faith - written as if I’m speaking to one woman at a time.
This isn’t a loud, “fix your life in 10 steps” kind of book.
It’s a slow exhale. A soft place to land. A gentle invitation to recognise that you are not behind - you are in process. You are being shaped, refined and made, even in the ordinary and imperfect parts of your life.
What’s Inside Grace In The Making?
Grace In The Making is not a manual for becoming a “better” version of yourself.
It’s a companion for the ongoing journey of being made - the seasons where you’re leading, loving, rebuilding, grieving, changing direction, or quietly outgrowing old versions of you.
Inside, you’ll find 40 one‑page lessons from my thirties across 6 themes: short enough to read in a few minutes, deep enough to sit with all day.
You can treat it like a devotional, a journal companion, or a late‑night friend.
One page at a time. No pressure. Just room to notice how you are being made.
This Is For You If...
Grace In The Making is especially for you if:
You’re a woman who leads — in corporate spaces, ministry, business, community, or at home
You sense that you are evolving: not who you used to be, not yet who you’re becoming, but very much in the making
You’re tired of being “the strong one” and crave language for your softer, truer, feminine self
You’ve walked through shifts in love, loss, career, or faith — and you want to feel seen, not fixed
You want reflections that make you stop and think without making you feel like a problem to solve
It’s also for the student, the graduate, the entrepreneur, the parent, the friend, the leader, the C‑Suite executive.
For the “already‑made‑it” crew and the “not‑sure-this-is-working” crew.
If any part of you is whispering, “I needed this,” then this book is for you.
“This book isn’t just for females. It is for everyone.
The student. The graduate. The entrepreneur. The parent. The friend. The leader. The C-Suite Executive.
The ‘already-made-it’ crew and the ‘not-sure-this-is-working’ crew.
It’s for those who are tired. It’s for those who are at the cusp of their next win.”
“This book is a breath of fresh air. A real invitation.
It feels like something I wouldn’t put down next to a fire as I sip a hot cup of hot chocolate.
It feels honest and not just curated. Some of the lessons actually feel like a sucker-punch — they come out swinging but not in an accusatory way. They make you stop and think and say, Wait… how is this happening in my life right now?
It’s a treasure chest. It shouldn’t be rushed. There are answers on every page.
I’m so proud of the intentionality it took to curate this, Bodam. Thank you.”

Who Is Lady Bodam?
My name is Bodam Taiwo, but most people know me as Lady Bodam.
I’m a Senior Marketing Executive, a feminine leadership coach and advocate, an author, speaker and mentor. I’ve spent my thirties leading in corporate spaces, serving women in community, and quietly navigating my own very human journey of love, loss, faith, healing and becoming.
I know what it feels like to be “the strong one” - to carry responsibility, perform at a high level, show up beautifully… and still be in process. Still evolving. Still very much in the making.
Grace In The Making was born out of that space. These are 40 lessons I gathered in the in‑between: in boardrooms and prayer rooms, in airports and hospital corridors, in quiet mornings and tearful nights.
As I turn 40, I didn’t want to simply celebrate with cake and photos (even though I'm doing that). I wanted to place something tender and truthful in your hands - something that tells you: You are not behind. You are not broken. You are being made.
