Sharing your story- even if you’re still figuring things out- could be the spark someone else needs to chase their dreams

Don’t let your labels box you in. Let them expand you. When I was a dentist, I thought my title defined me. It felt like a boundary, like that’s "all" I could do. But over time, I realised my label wasn’t a limit. It was a mirror. It reflected qualities I hadn’t fully

Whose content are you genuinely loving right now? I never thought I'd say this but I'm enjoying Instagram more than Twitter/X these days 😱 Something seems missing from here, what is it?!

I am so surprised by this I only posted 1 video in 2024 - a life update video explaining why I took a break. I thought I’d have virtually no views on my channel so over 200k views seems insane to me 😱 If I’m honest, one of my fears coming back to YouTube is that my channel is

I just had a call with a dentist from my audience who feels unfulfilled and stuck I wasn't sure if I was able to help her. But as we talked, I saw myself from 5 years ago in her story - the same uncertainty, the same desire for something more meaningful. Being able to share

I started the year off by filming 2 videos back to back in under 40 mins (it used to take me 2 hours 🤦🏽‍♀️) Everyone told me that after a baby I’d have less time for things, but no one mentions how your productivity completely shifts because you have to use your time more

My 20s: lonely, convinced I didn’t need anyone, glorified the idea of being a solopreneur and doing it all on my own My 30s: richer friendships, valuing connection, realising life and work thrive with the right people who share your values

It feels so good to be writing my newsletter again And I’m back on YouTube this Sunday (that’s the plan anyway) I’ve missed this side of me

I’m really good at being consistent with things when the momentum is there, but as soon as I take a break, I find it so hard to get back into it But this is so common Starting again is harder than starting for the first time

I posted this on my Instagram stories, hoping to get some feedback on our MVP I wasn't expecting a lot, as my content isn’t about the dental start up I’m building But I got a lot of responses & people gave me SUCH in depth feedback - I’m talking essays here. I couldn’t

I’ve realised that starting a business is a lot like being on a rollercoaster. Some days everything feels like it’s clicking, and other days, the self-doubt and uncertainty creep in and take over. In some ways, I feel like my journey on YouTube has prepared me for this. I spent

I didn’t quit my job to get rich In fact, I was making more money than most people my age. I also had the status that came from being in a respected profession, the title “doctor” in front of my name, and the comfort of having my whole life figured out But soon I realised that

Number 5 hits hard But I also think this is what people are doing when they want to have kids but put it off because they want to be in a certain place in their career (if they're financially stable/in a loving relationship) why put off something you truly value in life?

Trying is hard. It means you want more. More than what you have and more than who you are right now. And when you do that openly, it's vulnerable. You show people the gap between where you are and where you wish you were. It opens you up to judgment and the risk of failing
