The cracks in my powerhouse life: Cult Peloton instructor Tunde Oyeneyin


Listen Later

**How do you rise when life keeps burying you in grief?**

Before her 30th birthday, Tunde Oyeneyin lost her brother, her father, and her mother—half her immediate family. She wasn’t just at rock bottom. She was *cemented* in it.

But instead of staying buried, she rose. 🌅

Grief taught her that none of her emotions could bring her loved ones back—and in that painful truth, she found freedom. She discovered her purpose: *to lead*. Through pain, she stepped into her power.

Now a Peloton instructor, Nike athlete, and bestselling author, Tunde’s life changed with one cycling class and a five-second flash of clarity. But self-doubt followed fast. That inner voice—echoing childhood bullying—told her she wasn’t good enough. Didn’t sound right. Didn’t look the part.

She believed it… until she didn’t.

With the help of two friends, she decided to try. To *attempt*. That choice became her turning point.

Today, Tunde embraces every version of herself—the makeup artist, the trainer, the writer, the dreamer. Her journey proves you don’t have to be perfect to lead. You just have to show up, scars and all.

**Because power doesn’t come from avoiding pain—it comes from moving *through* it.** 🔥
