Ep 26 | How to design the life you want to live, with Dr. Sheen Gurrib

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sheen Gurrib — a Mauritian-born scientist, entrepreneur, and creator who walked away from the “perfect” career path (Oxford, Cambridge, PhD, consulting, academia) to reinvent her life in her 30s. We talk about the moment she realised the safe path wasn’t enough, the fear and freedom that comes with starting over, and how she rebuilt her identity, income streams, and daily structure from the ground up. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in a career that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel aligned anymore, especially if you’re in your 30s and afraid it’s “too late” to change direction.
