The work didn’t start with success. It started with misalignment.
I used to believe success came from achievement, recognition, and external validation. I became a doctor, built a multi-million-dollar business, and checked the boxes that are supposed to mean you’ve “made it.” Internally… I was off.
Health
Despite working in metabolism, my own body reflected the dysfunctional patterns I saw in my life... stress, self-soothing, and misalignment. These show up physically if we are not able to spot them internally.
Relationships
My marriage collapsed. And the real reckoning wasn’t the event… it was seeing the pattern beneath it. The “why” that logic can’t fix.
Money and identity
A business collapse erased roughly $6 million in a single week. What hurt wasn’t just the money… it was losing the identity I’d been using as a substitute for self-trust.
What I finally understood
Health, relationships, finances, purpose… they weren’t separate problems. They were expressions of the same internal misalignment.
What I learned: Sustainable change doesn’t come from information, motivation, or willpower alone. It comes from alignment at the level of identity… and enough nervous system capacity to make the new choice repeatable.
