What if burnout isn’t a personal failure—but a design flaw in how we’ve been taught to pursue success?

In this paradigm-shifting conversation, Yewande Faloyin, founder of Otito Leadership and certified energy leadership coach, joins Chedva to dismantle one of the most dangerous myths in high-achieving cultures: that peak performance is all about pushing harder. Yewande’s story takes us from the halls of McKinsey and the tech teams at IBM and Morgan Stanley, through a crash course in burnout, and ultimately into a more integrated, sustainable model of leadership—one rooted in energy, wholeness, and deep personal alignment.

With her background in both logic-heavy systems and intuitive personal development, Yewande brings rare clarity to the traps ambitious people fall into. If you’ve ever hit a wall and thought, “Maybe I’m just not strong enough,” this episode offers a different lens: what if it’s not about strength, but about orientation?

Together, Chedva and Yewande explore how we can shift from chasing external outcomes to embodying mastery, and how rest—true, integrated rest—can become our most strategic advantage.
