Being recognized as a thought leader and trailblazer in my field by FORBES is an extreme honor - I’m still pinching myself! Thank you @Forbes for recognizing the hard work, tenacity, dedication and commitment that got me here!

Thank you to everyone that has ever contributed to my journey - my family, my close friends and loved ones - and to my team, we rock and we are just getting started!

My USA team somehow convinced me to be the model on the US billboards like we have done in Nigeria. It took me a while to agree but watching my daughter’s reaction the very first time she saw the billboard makes ALL of it worth it. The sweat, tears. The sleep nights. The losses. The gains. And now…the LEGACY. ❤️ For my daughter and all young girls who may be watching, from afar or from close, from the Americas, from Asia or from Africa. Dream big! I want every girl to know she can achieve anything! Anything at all you set your mind to. You are unstoppable. Put the work in, for there are no short cuts to success. Build a legacy of strength compassion and hope. Inspire future generations This is for you my daughter, my love. I hope you always chase your dreams with passion and determination. Remember, the sky is the limit! Each step you take brings you closer to your goals. Let this billboard be a reminder to you that dreams can become reality. You have the power to shape your own future, so keep reaching for the stars. Do it afraid, but do it anyway. As for me, I’m chasing my dreams and more… One billboard at a time. We just launched 23 billboards across New York, New Jersey, Texas and Florida Y’all!!! This is wild!!!

A gentle but urgent reminder this Mother’s Day: Love your mother! We’re living in a culture that champions “boundaries” and “cut her off” with zero tolerance for grace. But I’m here to say; some relationships are worth fighting for. As a mother of 4, I know firsthand how brutally hard motherhood is. You’re expected to be everything to everyone: nurturer, provider, protector, emotional anchor, all while being human. We forget that our mothers carried the same weight. They have emotions. They get overwhelmed. They snap. They make mistakes. Because they, too, are only human. Today, I urge you: give your mother GRACE. Yes, your pain is valid. The trauma, the rejection, the abandonment, those wounds are real, and you have every right to feel them. But holding onto unforgiveness doesn’t heal you, and it won’t erase the past. True strength lies in choosing forgiveness, in setting healthy boundaries with love instead of bitterness, and in intentionally creating new, beautiful memories while she’s still here. Today, I urge you to pick up the phone and call your mother. Send a text message. Because ONE DAY, she won’t be. And the regret of what could have been is far heavier than the work of extending grace today. Happy Mother’s Day to my beloved mother in heaven, and to every mother, soon-to-be mother, and everyone holding their mother close in their heart today. ❤️❤️❤️ We pause to honour the light you bring to the world. You are seen. You are celebrated. You are deeply appreciated. Love, #DrSim ❤️ #HappyMothersDay #LoveYourMother #BeKindToHer #ForgivenessHeals and when’s she’s gone, you’ll be glad you did. 🥹💕

This Mental Health Awareness Month, I want you to know: You’re not broken, you’re human! Some days the anxiety hits hard, some nights the sadness feels too heavy, and that’s okay. Feeling it doesn’t make you weak. It makes you real. But you don’t have to stay stuck there. Try this today: Take just 2 minutes. Sit with yourself and write: “How am I really feeling right now?” If you don’t like what you wrote, then write: “How do I feel about how I’m feeling?” Sometimes that second layer is where the truth hides. If either of those feelings doesn’t sit right… that’s your sign! ☝🏽 Reach out and get the support you deserve. No judgment. Just care. 💙 You are worthy of feeling better. You are worthy of being loved exactly as you are — heavy days included. You’ve got this, and you’re never alone. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month. Tag someone who needs this reminder today. 💙 Love, #DrSim 💙 @conscientiahealth #MentalHealthAwareness #ItsOkayNotToBeOkay #SelfCheckIn #MentalHealthTips

13 Years Ago Today, on April 9th, 2013 at the tender age of 29, I lost my mother. 3 months later, I lost my then Blackberry phone that contained all of our messages, all her photos, all videos, all voicemails. My phone was stolen and all of our documented memories were gone. Just like that. The woman that shaped me, was gone! Dear Mom, Today marks 13 years since you left this earth. 13 years that feels like yesterday. I remember the doctor attempting to remove your stitches then accidentally dislodged your trach. Why did you have a trach? Because I was not letting go. I remember screaming at the top of my lungs as they code blued you, I watched. I watched the love of my life slip away right before my eyes. It felt like a dream. It STILL feels like a dream. And so when @_kingie_ asked me to interview about mental health, I couldn’t think of anything more important to speak of than the beginning of what I’d later call “The School of Life and the Beginning of My Mental Health Journey - Loosing My Mother”. I miss you mother, I miss you so much. I need you more days than not. I hope you’re “resting in heaven” as I’m told and that we really do get to MEET AGAIN someday. It’ll be a true honor to see you again Ma. 💔 Rest In Peace Mother. I honestly and deeply hope that you’re proud to call me your last born child. Thank you for everything you taught me. You will forever and ever be a piece of me. 🌹 I’m okay. 💔 Love, Your Little Abimbola AKA Omo Madam (Madam’s Daughter in English) Full interview drops on @_kingie_ Youtube page on April 19th, 2026!. Subscribe and follow him, be the first to know. This was probably the most emotional and vulnerable talk I have ever had. I hope it helps someone. ❤️ #Memorial #Mother #Grief #Love #DrSim

I’ve officially kicked off my maternity leave (YES) and honestly… it feels so good to finally slow down. ☺️❤️ After going non-stop for the last 4 years (since my last maternity leave), I’m being very intentional with this precious time. I want to pour back into my husband, my kids, my friends, my family, and everyone I love. Real rest, real conversations, and real presence, that’s the goal. I’m gong to make the most of it. So help me God. ❤️ First up on the calendar: Celebrating love! Big congratulations to my aburo, Daisy on her beautiful wedding #KelvinFinallyPluckedHisDaisy! May the Lord bless your union richly. Amen. 💕 #WeddingGuest #Weddings #Intentions #DrSim

Life has been happening to me just like I’m sure you. I haven’t been able to write like I vowed to in 2026. But, I squeezed it in. I will make it happen. I need to write, so the universe makes it happen. My latest thought leadership piece is out! Read it at Forbes Business Council. @forbes @forbes_councils 💕 If you’re a leader in ANY capacity, this is for you. Read the article on Forbes.com. Happy Thursday! Let’s face it, work relationships are just as important as family relationships. We spend more time at work than we do with our extended families. 🤷🏽‍♀️. Read it. Share. Share it with your colleagues and your boss. It’ll go a long way. Trust me, I live it. ❤️❤️❤️ Love, #DrSim ❤️ #ForbesWoman #March2026 #ConscientiaHealth #MentalHealthThoughtLeader

POV: You raised 2 baby boys in your early 20s… and now you’re raising 2 baby girls in your early 40s. Because the world can use a few more well rounded adults. 🙏🏾 Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have my most kept life long dream of having 4 children. Quietly, my husband always wished for the same. 2 miscarriages in my 30’s later, God still made a way!!! This is your sign to not give up hope in any capacity you find yourself. Dream. Dream big. In every and anything. And watch it happen in real time. Most importantly, FOCUS. Ignore all distractions and just focus and pray. 🙏🏾 Thank you all for the well wishes. Baby Dana feels the love. ❤️ 💕 My NEPO baby is here!!! 🥰 #PrincessDana #Grace #Mercy #Motherof4 #DrSim

BREAKING NEWS 📣: If you’ve loved the convenience of fully remote mental health care since the pandemic, New Jersey’s 2026 changes might feel like a curveball.

But here’s the Good News: this isn’t a step backward. It’s an evolution to more balanced, effective care. Our hybrid model at Conscientia Health blends virtual flexibility (think weekend therapy sessions from home) with the in-person essentials when needed, keeping things convenient without compromising quality. And NJ, we’ve got you covered!

What the new laws mean for you: • No remote only starts for controlled substances • Initial and quarterly in-person visits required Ready to transition smoothly? We’re here to make hybrid care work for you - accessible, compassionate, and right in your community.
