From an Idea on a Bus to a Global Movement: The True Story Behind The Sattva Collective
Earlier today, I had an amazing conversation with a lovely woman in the UK, and it inspired me to share the real, unfiltered story behind why I started The Sattva Collective. To be completely honest with you, last year, I was on my way to Cambridge for a day trip (and a helicopter lesson!) when I...

LIVE: The Courage to Drop the Mask and Charge Your Worth
For years, my purpose has been to serve, but when you keep giving everything away for free, you slowly start undervaluing yourself. I realized recently that underneath all my work was a quiet, lingering belief that I wasn’t enough, that I wasn’t worthy of actually charging people for my time and...

LIVE: Breaking the Cycle: On Gemini, Decluttering, and Showing Up Unfiltered
I thought I’d share something I realised the other day: I broke up with ChatGPT. After using it for about a year and a half alongside a brief stint with Claude, I looked at my digital space and asked myself which platform genuinely fits my lifestyle best. Since I already run so much of my life on...

LIVE: The Beautiful Destruction of My Old Life
In my first spontaneous Substack Live, I reflected on a message from Vishen Lakhiani’s Expert to Authority Summit that really stopped me in my tracks: the idea of “beautiful destruction” — that sometimes what has been working in our lives has to be dismantled to make space for what comes next....

Episode 104: From Becoming to Belonging
From Becoming to Belonging On candles, contentment, and the life that has been quietly waiting for you to notice it. This week, I sat in a different seat. That's it. That's all I did. I moved from my usual chair to the main sofa, and the room looked completely different. The tea lights on the...
-
Episode 103: A Life Built One Ritual at a Time
On devotion, ordinary days, and the home you are building from the inside out. It started with a mug holder. Which sounds absurdly small. But that's rather the point. Somewhere between donating a spice rack I'd been organising but never really using, creating autumn traditions with Khushi, and...
-
Episode 102: She's Finally Home
On pain, purpose, energy, and the woman you have been becoming all along. There's a version of this story that sounds tidy in retrospect. The heartbreak that made her stronger. The loss that redirected her. The season of overgiving that finally taught her where her edges were. The slow, quiet...
-
Episode 101: THE MEDICINE OF DOING NOTHING
On solitude, silence, and the season of becoming your own muse. It started on a Saturday afternoon. Tea going cold. No phone. No list. No role to perform. Just three uninterrupted hours that belonged entirely to me, and the quiet realisation that I had been hungrier for this than I had allowed...
-
Episode 100: Episode 100: Still Building
A dedication, a reflection, and everything this journey has really been about. This episode is different. Episode 100 falls on a day that carries more weight than a milestone. It falls on what would have been my brother's 36th birthday. And so, instead of a celebration, I wanted to do something...

Episode 97: Curating the Life You Actually Want to Live
In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, I’m talking about the quiet but powerful work of curating your life, not in a perfectionist or picture-perfect way, but as an act of alignment. Midlife has a way of showing us what no longer belongs: the old routines, clothes,...

In this week’s episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, I’m sharing a personal life update before surgery. I was meant to be in India right now, visiting my dad and soaking up some warmth after a long winter in the UK. Instead, I received a last-minute hospital call, and I’m now...
-
Episode 92: Not Reinvention, Integration: The Midlife Return
Last week, I took a solo trip to Lille, expecting long walks, sightseeing, and that romantic version of a “reset” we all imagine. And I did taste a little of that, enough to feel the city breathe around me. But then my body stepped in, hip pain flared, overstimulation crept in, and suddenly the...
-
Episode 91: Mum guilt vs Self-trust: Choosing rest without needing permission
In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, we’re talking about the kind of midlife lesson that doesn’t arrive as a big breakthrough… but as a small decision that changes everything. It starts with a solo trip to France, an early train, a £47 hotel room near King’s Cross…

Episode 90: When I Stopped Negotiating With the Present
There’s a moment in midlife when you realise you’ve been living one step ahead of yourself. Not in an ambitious, visionary way. In a restless way. The kind where you’re mentally rehearsing the next chapter while real-life you is standing in the kitchen, hungry, tired, staring at a counter that...

Episode 87: Not a Detox, a Return: A Nourishing New Year Reset for Midlife Women
In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, we’re rewriting the January narrative once and for all. Because by the time you’re in your 40s and 50s, the old “New Year, new you” script doesn’t just feel outdated, it feels deeply misaligned. You’re not a before picture. You’re...

Episode 86: The Art of Winter Reflection: Journaling and Soul Work in Midlife
In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, I’m inviting you into the quieter magic of winter, the season that asks us to slow down, soften our pace, and turn inward. Winter has always carried a certain stillness for me. But it wasn’t until midlife that I stopped resisting…

When Christmas Doesn’t Land
Hello, my Love. And welcome back to the Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter Podcast. I want to begin today somewhere very honest. I haven’t really felt Christmas this year. And that feels almost rebellious to admit out loud. Our home looks beautiful. We styled it gently, intentionally,...

In this episode of Letters from Midlife, I’m responding to a letter from a woman who’s struggling with a shift so many of us experience in midlife, yet rarely speak about with real honesty: no longer recognising the woman looking back at us in the mirror. She writes about the weight, the…

In this episode of Midlife by Design: Curating Your Next Chapter, I speak to the quiet grief and gentle grace of realising that the woman we imagined we’d be, disciplined, early rising, ever-consistent, isn’t always the woman midlife asks us to be.

In this episode, I share how one simple act, opening my banking app, became an unexpected moment of peace, clarity, and courage. It wasn’t really about money; it was about facing myself.
