E6. Starting from Strength

The Work No One Sees

You’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting from strength.

In this expansive solo episode, Bunmi Ogunbona explores the quiet confidence that comes not just from visioning the future — but from honouring the past. Through stories of big moves, business leaps, identity pivots, and the dreams we’re sometimes scared to say out loud, she shares a powerful reminder:

You’ve done hard things before. You can do them again.

This episode introduces the reverse bucket list — a practice of grounding your next step in the proof of your own resilience and growth. Bunmi weaves in coaching insights, moments of uncertainty, and her own daydreams to challenge the myth that clarity only comes from certainty. Sometimes, it starts with curiosity.

In this episode:

• Starting before you’re ready (again)
• The power of daydreaming as a strategic tool
• Coaching and identity beyond the ladder
• The reverse bucket list as proof of growth
• Letting past courage fuel future momentum

Whether you’re navigating a leap, rebuilding after burnout, or just wondering what’s next — this episode is here to remind you: the map may be unclear, but the foundation is already strong.
