Aurora Founder's Story: Meet Obehi Alofoje

Welcome back Rebels!

It’s Obehi here and in this episode, I share my own personal story and journey.

As a psychologist, management consultant, and executive coach, I've dedicated my career to helping others overcome stress, burnout, and mental health challenges. But my path hasn't been an easy one.

I share my journey through challenging times, including academic struggles in my teens and the tragic loss of my mother in a car accident, which profoundly shaped my life and career. I also discuss overcoming stigma related to my hearing challenges.

Through my story, I emphasise the importance of resilience, self-acceptance, and the belief that everyone deserves to thrive, not just survive.

Highlights:

(3:38) Personal struggles with academic failure.

(14:19) The car accident that changed my life.

(20:09) Losing my mother at 19 and its impact on my identity.

(24:50) Trauma, resilience, and mental health support.

(30:40) My hearing challenges.

(36:29) Overcoming personal struggles and grief through self-awareness and vulnerability.

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
