Show Notes
In this solo episode, Overnight Wisdom host Chisom Udeze steps away from her usual seat as interviewer to share her own story — the lessons, losses, and wisdom behind about two decades of building.
From founding a school in Nigeria, to leading global consulting work, to creating one of her companies, HerSpace — a women’s community born during the pandemic — Chisom reflects on what it means to build with purpose and to start over after things fall apart.
She opens up about what didn’t work: the lack of systems, emotional decisions, underpricing, and overextending herself to make everyone happy. And what did work — a vibrant, inclusive community, meaningful connections, and a deeper understanding of her own resilience.
This episode is a meditation on entrepreneurship, courage, and rebirth. It’s for anyone who’s ever dreamed, built, failed, and dared to try again.
Because as Chisom reminds us — failure isn’t final; it’s feedback. And the courage to build again might just be one of the greatest wisdom of all.
