Summary
Bukky Onifade is a Midlife Reinvention Coach, International Speaker, Author and Founder of Coached by Bukky, where she helps professional women aged 45+ turn major life transitions into purposeful, profitable second acts. Her work centers on a powerful reframe: Midlife is not a crisis; it’s a creative threshold. On this episode, we talk about identity shifts, burnout, grief, divorce and the quiet dissatisfaction many high-achieving women experience after “doing everything right." Before relocating to the United States from Ireland, Bukky built a strong media presence in the United Kingdom. She has written for Huffington Post , contributed to national and local publications and served for several years as a recurring contributor on BBC Radio, including their Sunday newspaper review program. Her book, Plan Your Life, was published in 2011 but will be re-published in the near future. Rather than hustle culture or performative motivation, she offers listeners permission, perspective and practical clarity, helping women translate decades of life and career capital into aligned businesses, meaningful work and grounded success. Bukky was born in Nigeria and moved to the U.K. before coming to the U.S. Learn more and follow Bukky: www.coachedbybukky.com https://www.instagram.com/coachedbybukky/ https://www.facebook.com/bukky.olaleye/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bukkyonifade/ https://www.pinterest.com/coachedbybukky/
