Dr. Aisha leaves medical practice to coach high achievers on the science and heart of making change in your life

47 minutes

Dr. Aisha is a former practicing physician turned coach specializing in helping high achievers create change in their lives. Her core message is that in order to make meaningful change in our lives, we need to slow down long enough to get off autopilot and connect to our real thoughts and desires. The world can be very loud and distracting and often confuses us with respect to finding our happiest path.

In this episode, we discuss:

A lot of family and social pressure around leaving medicine

Leaving her home and her profession meant letting go of a portion of who she was

Her passion was coaching people informally when she was still practicing

At 30, Dr. Aisha was working part-time minimum wage jobs in Canada to take the time to figure out her new path

Total clarity didn’t come all at once; it came bit by bit

The world is very loud, so it’s hard to know what you really want

We’re running on autopilot most of the time

The problem of feeling misaligned in life is solved by looking inwards, not outwards

One way to start reconnecting with yourself is to disrupt your energy at the start of the day before you’re even fully awake (trampoline, hula hoop, dancing, anything that is a pattern interrupt)

It may take a while to go through this process, but time is going to pass anyway - may as well be making progress

It’s ok to change at any age; we are in constant evolution

“You can only connect the dots looking backwards” - Steve Jobs
