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.

In This Episode:
– Leaving a safe academic/corporate path
– How to reinvent yourself in your 30s
– Building income streams from scratch
– Mindset shifts that make reinvention possible
– What productivity actually looks like when you work for yourself
– Dealing with pressure, “what ifs,” and expectations
– Why Sheen started sharing Islamic & spiritual content
– What success means now vs 10 years ago
