Olivia E. Umegbolu was born into the family of Godwin and Grace Ikueze in Anambra State, Nigeria. After her secondary school education, she gained admission into the University of Calabar to study Theatre Arts (Diploma) she got born again immediately after admission. Olivia’s keenness for writing was triggered when they were told to write a playlet which she did with great joy. She acted on the stage in school and was also opened up to learning auditioning, drama directing and so on. She later gained a direct entry admission to study English and Literary Studies at the degree level. As an undergraduate, she had opportunities to serve, preach and teach in the campus fellowship, Christ Ambassadors Student’s Outreach (CASOR).
After graduation, Olivia taught the English Language in a secondary school in Iruekpe, Edo State, during the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). During her service, she was made the youth Sunday School Teacher in the Assemblies of God Church, Iruekpe. It was an opportunity for her to serve God more deeply.

After she passed out of the Youth Service, got a job as a Manager in Brass Oil, Port Harcourt, she was in that job when she got married to her husband, Vitalis Umegbolu. Olivia’s spouse lived in Spain then. She joined him when she was a few weeks to the end of the gestation period of their first child. Coming to Spain changed the trajectory of her life. As a full-time housewife and a mother. Olivia laid hands on many things, ranging from selling fabrics to making meat pies to ensure she wasn’t ideal.

However, her mind was made up to start teaching English classes, so she placed her contact details in strategic places with some of her friends to get students. In the process, her first son had an accident. The accident was severe that she couldn’t do much but take care of him. She had to learn from her pain. She went to Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) and became a minister and a teacher after a while. All helped to sharpen her sword and refine her gift. God inspired her to write and rekindled her passion for reading and writing.

That was how her first intellectual product, ‘Divine Blueprint For A Successful Marriage’ was born. Sadly, it took her a few years to get the book edited and published, because of the mindset she had then – “I’m not good enough.” But God made Olivia understand that she’s good enough. Her mantra became “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” She started upgrading her mindset and becoming a better version of herself.

Having the burning desire to teach English as a second language, she enrolled in ETFL Community, Oxbridge Madrid, where she was certified to teach English at all levels. Besides, being the Women’s President, MFM Fuenlabrada was a challenge that motivated her to seek a better way to take a lead. So, she stretched into researching and reading books and enrolled in coaching, leadership and mentoring courses from some of the leading experts and authors. She became a life coach and a speaker which all led to the birth of her second brainchild, ‘Roadmap For A Thriving Leadership’. After a while, she had the ministration to write her third book which is ‘The Place of Calling and Ministry in Your Life Purpose’, to clear the air about controversial statements like “I’m doing what I was born to do”, “This is my calling”, “This is my ministry” and so on.
Olivia has a passion for teaching and preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, especially to women. She also loves traveling, cooking, sporting, taking pictures and staying with few friends.
She derives joy and fulfilment in helping others to succeed, as she knows beyond any reasonable doubt that makes her success profound and inevitable.
