You lost your train of thought in the exact meeting you needed to sound sharp in.

It probably wasn't the first time either. You covered it well, laughed it off and moved on like nothing happened. Nobody else really clocked it for what it was.

But you did.

For many of us, menopause wasn't ever discussed. It was a secret, something to handle privately and rarely even acknowledged.

And now you're going through it too. Mentioning brain fog out loud, especially at work, can feel like you're breaking not one, but two unwritten rules at once, the professional and the personal.

It also doesn't help that for years, we've had these symptoms waved off as "just getting older" or "one of those days." We know it's more than that. It keeps happening, at the worst possible moments, and dismissing it as nothing doesn't make it stop.

Brain fog happens when your body's running two systems at once. There's work. And then there's everything perimenopause is doing to your sleep, your mood, your focus.

None of it came with a heads up. If you grew up being told to get on with it, admitting you're struggling can feel much harder than it should.

But you don't need to wait until it's undeniable to do something about it.

I created a free audio track for exactly this. Something to put on before a meeting that matters, not after the fog's already taken hold.

It's a few minutes of grounding and breathwork so your brain can find a steady starting point when it counts.

Next time you can feel a meeting-shaped moment like that coming, this is one thing you can actually reach for.

DM MENOPAUSE and I'll send it over.

I'm not for everyone.

That's why I've created a process that makes sure we're both happy to proceed before committing to a full programme.

When you're dealing with wellbeing on a personal level, it's important you feel comfortable with your therapist. A rapport comes in time, of course, but that initial chat means you get a sense of the vibe, and whether the person you're seeking support from sees and understands you. And from my side, I want to make sure what I do can truly help you.

So before we even discuss how that help might look, we start with a Clarity Call. This is so we can both find out honestly whether this is the right fit, before committing to anything more.

Next, we take a Deep Dive. Again, this is before any further commitment. We look beyond the surface-level symptoms, because most people who come to me have never had 90 minutes to work out what's actually driving the challenges they're facing.

The step after that only gets discussed at the end, once we both know what we're working with.

So if you've been picturing something completely clinical, or dreading a sales pitch, that's not how any of this goes.

Take the first step today. Book your Clarity Call for a confidential chat with me, and find out if this is the right path.

So a couple of reels I made went viral a few weeks ago.

Here's what I didn't say the first time: neither of us speaks for the whole South Asian community, we're just one voice each, and the algorithm just feeds people more of whoever they already agree with.

That's the echo chamber problem. I didn't tag him or name him, because this was never about one person.

Its about a cycle of ideas that keeps repeating because nobody stops to have the genuinely curious conversation instead of the defensive one.

If you're new here, this account isn't about one issue, it's about calling out injustice and intolerance wherever it shows up, this week it's this, another week it'll be something else.

I can't promise it's always going to be deep, sometimes it's going to about perimenopause, teenagers and the s**t show of hormones.

Like any community there's polarised views as well as tolerance, and that's worth sitting with, not avoiding.

So if you're open to having curious conversations then welcome to my community and space.

Leaving at 5 never feels like clocking off on time. It feels like getting caught.

You know the drill. Meetings prepped three days early. Emails read twice before sending... and then checked again (just in case).

Not because a deadline demands it. Because the family you grew up in never had 'good enough' as an option.

This level of overworking isn't really ambition. It's repaying a debt nobody ever said out loud, and proving your worth against assumptions nobody said to your face. Assumptions everybody in the room still seems to carry.

You didn't choose that pattern. Your nervous system built it early, when composure felt like the price of belonging and being the reliable one was how you got to stay in the room. And now it's been running so long it stopped feeling like a strategy.

It just feels like you.

But let me tell you this: you're allowed to find out what "enough" actually feels like in your body. Not just as something you finally get to tick off a list. This might just be the biggest ask you've made of yourself in years.

So let's start smaller.

The free Burnout Check-in takes two minutes and tells you exactly where you're at right now, today. No diagnosis. No big commitment.

You've probably tried the quick fixes by now.

The app (and when that didn't work, another one). Maybe an occasional massage. Or promising yourself you'll slow down once this busy patch passes.

They all take the edge off for a day or two, then you're back to where you started, because none of them touch what's driving the stress.

The Stress SOS Reset is the opposite of a quick fix. It's gradual, taking place over 12 weeks. It's not a group program eitehr. It's one to one, just you and me, working on the pattern underneath the stress rather than managing the symptoms of it again.

This is for you if you're the one who holds everything together.

The one people rely on, who's good in a crisis, who hasn't had a proper break in longer than you'd admit out loud. If stress has stopped feeling like something that happens to you and started feeling like the operating system you run on, this is built for exactly that.

And the 12 weeks isn't arbitrary.

A nervous system that's been running on high alert for years, often for a lifetime of being the capable one, doesn't recalibrate in a single session or a weekend away. It needs sustained, repeated proof that it's safe to stand down. That takes time.

I'll be honest about the rest of it too.

It's £700, and it's a commitment of yourself over three months.

I know the thing that actually stops most women isn't the price or the time. It's a fear that they're too far into this to fix it. Or that if they finally let their guard down, everything they've been holding up will fall apart.

It won't.

The women I work with aren't fragile. They've been strong for a long time, often with very little support. What changes in 12 weeks isn't that you become less capable. It's that you stop needing adrenaline to stay that way.

When you're ready, comment RESET and I'll send over the first step to take.

A few of you told me I called out the misogyny but not the racism.

That was intentional on my part, I wouldn't have done it justice in 3 minutes.

Here's my honest theory, and it's just my perception, on where this distrust comes from:

Black communities have long faced harsher treatment in the justice system, and I think ours absorbed that narrative and it became distrustful.

Then there's the hypersexualisation, an Asian woman with a Black man becomes "spoilt goods," an Asian man with a Black woman gets treated like he's levelled up. Same thing, opposite verdict. I

watched women give up loving relationships out of fear, and end up in unhappy marriages instead.

The generation above us is starting to pass.

We don't have to hand these prejudices down.

And right now, with the country feeling unsafe for so many immigrant families, this is exactly the moment Black and Asian communities need to stand together.

Ask anyone who's run themselves into the ground and they'll tell you the tiredness was never really the problem. It was everything the tiredness was covering for.

You get used to functioning on four hours.

You stop noticing the shortness with people you love. You stop trusting your own judgement by 3pm because your brain's already spent.

None of that gets fixed by an earlier bedtime, because none of it started with sleep. It started with every yes you gave when your body was already asking for a no.

You've probably tried the standard advice already.

Phone out of the room. No caffeine after two. Dark room, cool temperature, all of it. And it helps a bit, and it's still not touching the actual problem, because none of it does anything for a mind that's still running the day on a loop the second the lights go off.

That's the gap I kept seeing in clients who were doing everything "right" and still lying there awake. Sleep hygiene handles the room. But there's nothing in place to handle your mind when it's still awake.

So I recorded something that does.

It's not white noise or a bedtime story. It's built to walk your nervous system down slowly, rather than just switching the light off and hoping for the best.

Your breathing follows the pacing without you trying to control it, and your body finally gets the "we're safe now" signal directly, instead of waiting for it to arrive on its own at 2am.

DM me SLEEP and I'll send you the free audio.

You're still turning up. Still doing the job well. Still the person people come to when they need someone steady.

If your work involves holding other people's problems, whether that's a ward, a classroom, a caseload or just being the manager everyone brings their bad day to, the job trains you in the skill of caring.

It rarely trains you in the cost of carrying it.

For a lot of us, that pattern didn't start at work. It started at home, watching the women in the family absorb everyone's needs before their own and getting praised for it. Showing up for everyone else isn't a habit you picked up when you started managing a team. It's the only mode you've ever really been shown.

The two feed each other. You give everything at work because that's what you were trained to do long before you had a job title. Then you come home and keep giving there too, because stopping was never shown to you as an option.

So the feeling shifts without you choosing it to. The things that used to move you don't land the same way anymore. You go through the motions of care rather than feeling it, which just feeds the guilt on top of everything else.

That guilt isn't a personal failing. It's what happens when nowhere in your life, at work or at home, has ever asked what you need.

Left long enough, numbness tips into something else.

Snapping at people who don't deserve it. A flatness that follows you home and sits at the dinner table with you. For some, it's rage that arrives from nowhere, aimed at the wrong target because the right one never felt safe. For others, it's shutting down, where even the people you love start to feel like one more demand on an empty tank.

Either way, it's the body finally insisting on the rest it was never given, in the only language left once being asked nicely stopped working.

If you've noticed any of this in yourself, it's worth taking seriously rather than filing under "fine." And it's worth asking where the pattern actually started, because for most of us, it wasn't at work.

Who taught you that showing up for everyone else came first?

A young South Asian lad went viral a few weeks ago saying Punjabi girls who go to Afro Nation aren't "wifey material."

Now this s**t gets on my nerves.

I'm not really angry at him though, he's just saying out loud what usually shows up as a whisper, a side glance, a tut, a no-show at the family events, a relationship nobody quite acknowledges.

Because when a south Asian girl has a relationship with a man outside the community, shame and honour get rolled out to justify the actions that follow.

If a south Asian guy has a relationship outside of the community, we'll kids are kids aren't they? What can you do.

Same misogyny, quieter outfit.

This is on us as parents now.

Raising our sons to know their wanting doesn't outweigh her right to just be herself.

Raising our daughters to know men like this aren't even worth entertaining.

I've fought double standards my entire life and this is a reminder to me that it continues and maybe my work is just beginning.

You've been waiting for the pressure to ease on its own. It hasn't and it won't.

Because nothing in your diary is about to get lighter. So what has to change isn't your workload. It's what you do with the stress it creates.

Right now, that stress is probably running the show more than you'd like to admit.

The tight shoulders you only notice when you get 5 minutes to sit down at last. The snapping at the people you don't mean to snap at, but can't help yourself. The Sunday evening that disappears in a blink of any eye, because Monday is already sitting firmly on your chest.

Unfortunately, unmanaged stress doesn't politely stay at work. It follows you home and hels itself to your evenings, your sleep and your patience.

My Managing Stress mini-course is designed to help change that.

It's got short, practical lessons you can work through in your own time. And it's made for the woman who's holding a lot and has no patience left for fluff.

By the end of it, you'll understand what's actually happening in your body when the pressure hits and you'll walk away with real tools to bring it down, so it stops making your decisions for you.

If you're ready to stop white-knuckling your way through the week, this is where you start. Link's in bio.
