My Story
When I was in medical school, I faced one of the hardest seasons of my life. No matter how hard I studied, I couldn't seem to keep up. The pressure was relentless, and the embarrassment of falling behind weighed heavily on me. I remember the long nights of self-doubt — wondering if I was enough, or if I even belonged there.
That moment of struggle became the turning point that changed everything.
I realized the problem wasn't my intelligence — it was that no one had ever taught me how to learn. When I began studying how to learn, I discovered that true learning doesn't come from just the mind — it comes from the integration of the body, mind, and spirit.
That revelation became my life's mission.
