Read All About it

I've been hiding something. Not anymore.

A Cambridge material scientist had his worldview dismantled by a single experience. A liver pathologist stumbled onto an anatomical structure Chinese medicine had described for 4,000 years. What I've witnessed clinically for nearly two decades is finally showing up in mainstream science and I'm done being quiet about it.

The Courage to Act

You've got the plan. You've got the data. You've got the vision.

Yet you sit at your desk, staring at the screen, unable to hit send. Unable to make the call. Unable to say yes.

Frustration is a Pathway to Clarity

Frustration is not a problem to manage. In Chinese medicine, it's a signal — one that points directly toward what's seeking alignment in your leadership and your life.

It’s the Qi Leaks

Leadership becomes heavy not because we lack skill, but because we’re spending enormous physiological resources managing what we don’t say, what we don’t show, and what we carry alone.

What a Dog Fight Taught Me About Being a Leader (and Healing)

Leadership under pressure is not about perfect decisions. It is about what you do when instinct takes over.

Last night, something ordinary and violent happened in our home. It revealed more about leadership than any framework ever has.

We broke up a dog fight.

HNY! Go Back to Bed

Before you make the list, set the goals, and hit the ground running — a word from Chinese medicine on why the wisest thing a woman leader can do in January might be to slow down first.

The Medicine of True Leadership Part 3

Part Three: Staying with Discomfort

The practice is simple. Profoundly simple.

Stay.

Become aware of your reaction.

Notice your breath.

Let the stories surface without believing them.

You’re not your feelings. You’re the one witnessing them.

This is what creates space between you and the story.

Because there are usually two things going on.

What’s happening and the story you’re telling.

The Gift of Your Own Medicine

Leadership isn’t confined to titles. It appears:

At the kitchen table, sharing hard truths with children.
With a partner, negotiating wants and needs for the future.
In business, delivering unwelcome news with composure.

Your Body Speaks Before It Breaks(down)

As a young professional, I pushed through exhaustion, anxiety, and chronic symptoms for years, but it took even more time for my body's symptoms to get loud enough to say 'hell no girl, you're done'.

The Real Medicine of Life Part 2

Part 2 in a 3 part series.

When we talk about disease, most people want to talk about symptoms.

The diagnosis.

The label.

But the body isn’t just expressing itself in physical symptoms.

It’s revealing information.

The Real Medicine of Life Part 1

Part 1 in a 3 part series.

Our culture taught us that authority (mostly) lives somewhere else and that they know best. But what if over-dependence on outsourcing our symptoms is the very thing making us unwell?

From Overwhelmed to Empowered Human

When Maya walked into my office last week, she had just been furloughed from her federal job. Her shoulders hunched and telling me right away I’m exhausted. She was here because she’d spent the past week self‑soothing by binge‑watching shows, obsessively scrolling,

Your Participation is Required

And, this is where bypassing can show up. Spiritual bypassing, therapeutic bypassing, shortcut thinking, whatever you want to call it, is when we reach for the outside solution to avoid the work inside. You want the medicine to do it for you.

Ugly is a Courtroom: Rethinking Beauty, Truth, and the Body

What Bayo Akomolafe Means by “The Wrong Courtroom”

Reading Bayo Akomolafe’s LinkedIn po st about the blobfi sh, the creature often called the world’s ugliest animal, made me laugh. Not because the fish looks funny, but because as he points out so eloquently that the judgment says more about the lens we use than about the fish itself.

The Wisdom Within Method: Rooted in Ancient Arts and Science

Quantum mechanics agrees: 99.999% of life is non-matter or unseen.

In ancient traditions, physical symptoms aren’t problems to be eliminated; they are pointers or signposts that direct us to a deeper understanding of the energy or consciousness at work beneath the surface. A headache, fatigue, or even family conflict, these are not merely things to get rid of, but messages that reveal hidden imbalances in our internal and external worlds.
