Your ‘weirdness’ is your power. The way you think, create, question things differently, that’s the magic.
Be ambitious. Be a little unconventional. Because the people who refuse to fit into boxes are usually the ones who change the game. ✨
This is why I love creating spaces and events for likeminded people who actually just get it. With the right people who get it, you are a STAR !!
Don’t dilute yourself to be easier to understand. Take up space girl & keep pushing 🤍 Lmk your thoughts, can you relate? Where are my weird superstars? Tag them Hahah
Change is fine. Your reasons why may evolve, and that is OK!
Morning with Dr J, I’ll be doing more in this series where I share lessons and reflections along the way.
What has kept me going in my career, and what continues to inspire everything I do, is growth, the fact that I’ve changed and been exposed to more. It has also shifted my perspective and allowed me to either double down on things, leave things behind, or start something new.
I always have checkpoints where I pause, reflect, and reassess. I think when people don’t do this work, or feel afraid of change, or guilty when something no longer aligns, it can create more problems than clarity. Don’t be afraid of change, give yourself permission to grow.
Let me know your thoughts and experiences in the comments - I genuinely want to learn from you!
To my goal-getting girlies. This is your reminder to pause and listen to your body 💚

💚 Save, tag & share with a woman who needs this.

GP life isn’t easy - that’s one thing I’ll say 😅
I know a lot of people don’t actually realise what’s involved in my role as a GP, so I want to share more.
Here’s everything I’m doing apart from eating lunch as a GP 😂 After a busy morning clinic and before another busy afternoon clinic…
📞 Reviewing results
📝 Writing referrals
💊 Signing prescriptions
📧 Replying to tasks/messages
📋 Reviewing letters & documents
☎️ Calling patients
🤝 Discussing cases with colleagues📚 Keeping up with guidelines
….and trying to stay hydrated somewhere in between.
People often only see the 10-minute consultation, but there’s so much happening behind the scenes.
Shall I do more “day in the life of a GP” videos? 👀
Having autonomy and choice over your career is so important.
I don’t think we should wait for anyone or any system to dictate the direction of our lives. It’s never too early to start carving out the career and life you truly want for yourself no matter your career, but especially if you are in healthcare.
This was something I had to learn over time. But once I realised how important it was to have ownership over my path, I started making decisions that aligned with the bigger vision I had for my life not just the next step, but the overall picture. Every opportunity, every “yes,” every “no,” and every pivot became more intentional.
Watch the video and let me know your thoughts 👇🏾
✨ Have you ever felt pressured to follow a certain career path instead of what you truly wanted?
✨ What’s one step you’ve taken or want to take towards creating a career that aligns with the life you want?
Let’s talk 🤍 Is this something you’ll want to learn more about?
When you’re the “doctor friend,” you get the privilege of being part of your friends’ most personal journeys including their health and pregnancies 🤍
I feel so grateful to have walked this journey with Frederika watching her grow our babies (yes, we’re now on baby number 2!) and also build @luxurymumguide_ along the way.
As she always says, no two pregnancies are the same… but there are a few things that can make the journey a little smoother for everyone.
Here are 3 things we learnt 🤍 There’s so much more we could share, but the video was already getting long so have a listen, and let us know your questions or what helped you too. Hope you found it helpful!
When your work meets passion meets purpose 🤍
Being able to create spaces for my friends and family means everything to me and it’s truly what keeps me going.
Of course, @luxurymumguide_ didn’t just have a baby shower… she planned a whole retreat ✨ And we brought an @aranini.health women’s health session into the mix.
We covered anatomy, busted period myths, and got into some very real conversations about pregnancy. So many questions, so much honesty and yes, a few shocked reactions along the way 😂
Moments like this, is why I do what I do. I LOVE LOVE!! Shall we do ARANINI retreats, will you come?
Doctor to you, Princess to my dad! 👩🏾⚕️👑 can I be both?
We are backkkkk 👩🏾⚕️
We’ve been back to clinic, full GP life. Your girl is no longer a baby doctor, which is still wild to me. My days are soooo busy, I feel people truly don’t know what goes on in my clinics- I literally see everything and anything! Lots has changed since I finished training. Can you guess how many patient I see in a day?
Anyway hope you like the day in the life, I’m soooo happy it’s the weekend 🥹💃🏽 lmk if you have questions now/want more?
