The idea of perfectionism is what’s keeping you trapped…

Real progress starts when you stop trying to think your way forward and start taking imperfect steps instead.

Yesterday, I stood on the red dot and gave a TEDx talk.

I’ve spent the last 20 years thinking about change — as a doctor, as a coach, and as a human who has tried (and failed) to reinvent herself more times than she can count. But standing on that stage, something shifted in a way that’s hard to put into words.

It wasn’t about the applause.
It wasn’t even about the talk itself.

It was the feeling of speaking something that has been quietly forming for years — and watching it land. Watching people recognize themselves in it. Watching heads nod, eyes soften, and shoulders drop.

If there’s one thing this experience reaffirmed for me, it’s this: real change isn’t about trying harder or fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you truly are.

I’m deeply grateful to the team, my fellow speakers, and every person in the audience who leaned in, listened, and came up to me afterward to share a story.

Those conversations meant more to me than you know.

This talk is part of a much bigger chapter for me — one that I’m only just beginning to share — and I can’t wait to take you with me as it unfolds.

More soon. đź’›

If your value comes from being capable, growth can feel unsafe.

Your brain reads discomfort as danger, not progress. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing something new.

Recognize it. Move anyway.

This arrived today.

My Advanced Reader Copies of Redesigning You.

Writing a book is one thing.

Holding it in your hands is something else entirely.

This book has lived in my head, my notes, my early mornings, and my hard questions for a long time.

Today it became real.

Onward. ✨

I finally get to share this with you.

This is the cover of my upcoming book, Redesigning You: Change Your Inner Story, Transform Your Health.

I wrote this book after two decades in medicine and years of watching people struggle — not because they didn’t know what to do, but because they didn’t believe they were the kind of person who could actually change.

What I’ve learned — through my patients, my work, and my own life — is that real transformation doesn’t start with willpower or habits.

It starts with identity.

This book is about redesigning the inner story that quietly runs your life — so change doesn’t feel like a fight, but an alignment.
Seeing this cover feels surreal. This has been a long, quiet, meaningful journey.

Thank you for being here.

Redesigning You
Coming June 2026 🤍

We all have an internal thermostat for how good life gets.

When things improve, our nervous system can pull us back to what feels familiar.

Gay Hendricks calls this the Upper Limit Problem.

There comes a moment when you’re not lost, you’re just done performing.

Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s remembering who you really are.

You’re not starting over.

You’re starting true.

Here is one small habit that instantly builds connection.

I have learned that the most magnetic people are not just good talkers.

They make others feel recognised, and one of the simplest ways to do that is by using someone’s name with intention.

The fastest way to become more magnetic.

In this episode I talk about why genuine curiosity is so powerful. Most of us just want to feel seen, and when you ask thoughtful follow up questions you instantly become more likable and more memorable. It is the smallest bit of interest that leaves the biggest impact.

🎤 It’s official… I’ve been selected as a TEDx speaker.

This January, I’ll be stepping onto the red dot at TEDxSurrey to share the message that changed everything for me — and that’s already transforming lives:

✨ You don’t need a new habit. You need a new identity.

Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes moments from this journey: the messy drafts, the rehearsals, the rituals, the fears, the outfit try-ons, and the growth.

I’m pouring everything I’ve learned — as a doctor, coach, creator, and human — into this talk.

I hope you’ll walk with me.

In your 40s, you stop waiting for permission.

You stop shrinking, apologising, or asking to take up space.

No one’s coming to hand you your life you have to claim it.

Your power isn’t fading… it’s finally arriving.

Turning 40 isn’t the end of youth it’s the end of pretending.

You stop shrinking to fit and start owning who you really are.

That’s when freedom begins.
