After a decade of working with leaders globally, Chisom kept seeing the same pattern: capable people failing in predictable ways. Not because they lacked skills or strategies — but because they lacked Identity Clarity.
In this solo episode, Chisom introduces the sharpened 2026 focus of Overnight Wisdom and explains why Identity Clarity is the one clarity you can’t lead without.
What you’ll learn:

• What Identity Clarity actually is (and why most leaders don’t have it)
• The cost of shapeshifting — performing who you think you should be instead of leading from who you actually are
• What you’ll get from this podcast this year
• Three practical steps to start developing Identity Clarity immediately

Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or your own life — this episode is your starting point.
If you’re exhausted from performing, if you’re tired of shapeshifting, if you’re ready to discover who you actually are as a leader, this is for you.

Kubbra Sait on Identity, Power & Writing Yourself Whole

What happens when you stop contorting yourself to fit into the world—and instead begin to build a life that fits you?

In this deeply honest conversation, actor and author Kubbra Sait joins Chisom to reflect on her journey toward identity clarity—from surviving childhood trauma to leaving corporate life and stepping into her power as a storyteller.

Together, they unpack the cost of performance, the weight of being misunderstood, and the radical act of claiming joy without apology. Kubbra speaks candidly about rewriting her own narrative, shedding labels that no longer serve her, and how she came to see softness as strength.

This episode is a meditation on what it means to know yourself—and choose yourself—again and again.

In this episode, Chisom reflects on the journey of creating Overnight Wisdom — a podcast that began as an experiment in curiosity and connection and evolved into a global platform for truth-telling, wisdom, and courageous storytelling.

Since launching on May 28th 2025, Chisom has released 30 consecutive weekly episodes, interviewing an extraordinary lineup of artists, activists, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders from across the world. From conversations about legacy, grief, decolonization, creativity, mental health, and leadership — to challenging how we see power, culture, and identity — each guest brought a unique lens and lived experience.

Chisom revisits key takeaways from episodes with:

• Michael Aboya on dignity in Black imagery
• Lola Akinmade on writing intersectional women into the center
• Chidiebere Ibe on the revolutionary power of representation in medical illustration
• Jameson Timba on fighting for democratic freedom
• Linda Masarira on political courage and decolonization
• DJ Bwakali, Yaba Blay, Shruti Ganguly, Thandi Dyani, Astrid Sundberg, Poornima Luthra, Jonathan Akwue — and many more — each leaving a mark through their authenticity and depth.

She also shares personal reflections on the labor behind building a weekly podcast as a mostly one-woman team, the emotional and intellectual nourishment it has brought her, and the deep gratitude she holds for her listeners and guests.

As Overnight Wisdom heads into a short break, Chisom teases powerful new episodes for 2026 and reminds us of what’s possible when we lead with clarity, stay consistent, and dare to build with heart.
