E1. The First Episode (But Not the First Draft)

The Work No One Sees

Welcome to the first episode of The Work No One Sees.

After years of overthinking, rewriting, and waiting for the “right” moment, Bunmi Ogunbona finally hits record. In this opening episode, she shares the real reason this podcast exists — not to offer formulas or life hacks, but to create space for the quiet, unspoken parts of our working and personal lives.

This show explores the emotional labour, invisible work, and internal conversations that often sit beneath the surface of ambition, identity, leadership, and life.

Some episodes will be solo reflections. Others will be debriefs from coaching and facilitation work. And some will feature conversations with thoughtful humans navigating growth, complexity, and change in their own ways.

This first episode is both an introduction and a declaration: we don’t need to wait for everything to be perfect before we begin.

In this episode:

• Why this podcast exists
• What “the work no one sees” really means
• The pressure to perfect before we start
• An honest, imperfect beginning

If you’ve ever paused your progress waiting for the right time — this episode is for you.

The Work No One Sees is hosted by Bunmi Ogunbona — executive coach, facilitator, and curious human exploring the quieter side of success.
Some reflections in this episode are inspired by real coaching or facilitation experiences. These are always anonymised and often blended across sessions or workshops. The stories shared reflect my personal learning — not anyone else’s.
