Let’s make this your turning point 🔥

14/07/2025

What was the moment that pushed you to make a change?

For me, it wasn’t dramatic.
It was a slow realisation that I was no longer in alignment.
That I was doing good work, but not the work I was meant to do.
And that I didn’t want to keep waiting for “the right time” to make a shift.

In this video, I share the moment that finally pushed me to take action and how everything started to change from there.

👇🏾 Have you had a moment like this? I’d love to hear your story.

If you’re a doctor exploring what’s next, you’re not short on options. But knowing where the demand actually is can make all the difference.

Here’s what I am seeing right now based on the latest trends:

1️⃣ Specialist Physicians
Psychiatry, neurology, dermatology, cardiology.

Demand is growing fast, especially in psychiatry (+8%) and neurology/dermatology (+7%).

It’s being driven by an ageing population and increased focus on chronic and mental health.

2️⃣ Telehealth & Digital Health Roles

Remote care isn’t a nice-to-have anymore.

Doctors who can lead in telehealth, virtual care delivery, and digital diagnostics are in high demand, especially in areas with limited access.

It’s also giving many doctors more flexibility and reach.

3️⃣ Physician Leaders and Medical & Health Services Managers

More doctors are stepping into management and strategy roles, leading transformation across health systems and not just treating patients.

And they’re being hired for exactly that mix of clinical insight and leadership potential.

These are the roles gaining traction in 2025 and where many doctors are finding more meaning, autonomy, and growth.

You don’t need to reinvent yourself completely.

But you do need to understand where the industry is heading and how your skills translate.

Curious which one of these fits you best? Or where to even begin?

Let’s talk 👇🏾

What’s one lesson you’ve learned the hard way that every doctor should hear?

Here’s mine:
Staying quiet doesn’t protect you, it just keeps you small.

For years, I believed that if I worked hard, stayed humble, and kept my head down, the right opportunities would find me.
They didn’t.

I saw less qualified people get promoted.
I saw louder voices get chosen.
And I realised that being “good” at what you do isn’t enough if no one knows who you are or what you stand for.

That’s when everything changed.
I stopped waiting to be picked and started building something of my own.
Not just a business but a voice, a message, a community.

So if you’re feeling overlooked, under-recognised, or stuck...
This might be your moment to stop hiding.

You don’t need to be loud. You just need to be clear.
And brave enough to show up.

What’s a lesson you’ve learned the hard way?
Would love to hear below 👇🏾

There was a moment I realised I couldn’t keep doing this.

Not because I didn’t care.
Not because I wasn’t good at it.
But because I knew I wasn’t where I was meant to be anymore.

In this video, I share the moment that made me question my place in traditional medicine and what pushed me to explore something different.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet pull to do more, or do things differently, this might resonate.

🎥 Watch it now and let me know if you’ve ever had a moment like this.

“I’ll figure it on my own because it’s cheaper”

Doctors are some of the most capable people on the planet

…but trying to figure everything out alone?

That’s the most expensive, time-wasting mistake you can make… and certainly not the cheapest route!

I see it all the time:

Doctors burning out juggling industry and clinical

Over-researching, overthinking, DIY-ing their way into overwhelm or over delivering in new roles

Trying to build a career, a business, a life they love.
Solo

But here’s the truth:

No successful person does it alone.

Not Oprah. Not Branson. Not Bill Gates.
Not anyone you work with in a leadership role.

They all have coaches, advisors, partners, mentors, teams.

It’s just basic strategy.

Successful people pay for SPEED because it’s cheaper if you look at the figures:

One doctor spent 18 months trying alone and lost over £80k in missed income.

Another got paid support, landed a £40k role in 3 months.

Support costs less than delay

Every hour spent trying to figure things out on your own is time you could spend executing with clarity, support and momentum.

The most successful doctors I work with stopped trying to be heroes.

They got in the room, asked for help, and started building with people who’d done it before.

And that’s when it all changed.

Stop doing it alone.
Your vision is too important for that.
. and hey, I WAS this doctor once.
Never Again.

Super excited to share that I’ve been nominated for the Digital Health Innovator of the Year at the Black Healthcare Awards 2025 🤩💜

This one means a lot. It reflects the work we’ve been doing to support doctors stepping into bold, meaningful, and innovative careers both inside and beyond the system.

Massive thank you to the organisers and congrats to the other brilliant nominees!💜

A lot of doctors leave medicine, thinking the industry will automatically be better.

And in many ways, it is.

But if you're still underpaid, overworked, or overlooked…
You’re not the problem.
You’re just unpositioned.

Here’s the thing is industry doesn’t hand out clarity, confidence, or credibility.

You’ve got to build it.

Because while it’s not your fault that no one taught you how to position yourself beyond clinical work…
It is your responsibility to learn.

Especially if you want to lead, grow, and get paid for the value you actually bring.

This is exactly why we do the work we do.

To help doctors like you stop settling and start building careers that are bold, strategic, and unapologetically high-value.

If you’re ready to be seen and paid differently, let’s start the conversation now👇🏾

How I built a 6-figure business while raising two kids

It didn’t happen overnight.
And it definitely didn’t happen without a lot of help.

When I first started building my business, I was managing feeds, school runs, broken sleep, and still trying to show up as a founder who had her act together.

The truth is, I didn’t always have it together.
But I did have a vision.
And I had a family who backed me, even when they didn’t always understand what I was building.

Here’s what helped me make it work:

1️⃣ I let go of the guilt.
I stopped chasing “balance” and focused on what mattered most that day.

2️⃣ I got support and I accepted it.
From family, friends, mentors, and yes, paid help when I could afford it.

3️⃣ I built slowly, but intentionally.
This was about building something that could grow with me and my life.

So if you’re in the thick of it, building, parenting, doubting, just know:
You don’t need to choose between your ambition and your family.
You’re allowed to do both imperfectly and still powerfully.

You’ve got this! 💛

How have you balanced (or blended) business and family?

Let’s share what’s real, not just what looks good on paper 💬👇🏾

Developing your personal brand as a doctor? Don’t post and ghost.

One post won’t build your brand, consistency will.

Whether it's your interest in healthcare consulting, femtech, or occupational health, the key is repeating your message over months and years.

That's how you build relationships, stay memorable, and get recognised for your unique expertise.

Be visible. Be patient. Be consistent.
