Another trip around the sun...
Another trip around the sun.
Another year wiser.
Another season of transformation.
This birthday feels different—like a crossroads where everything I’ve built is shifting into something new. My life has always been full of movement, but this year? It’s on a whole new level. Three moves coming up (one international, two local), three homes being renovated, and three incredible kids stepping into their own big life moments.
I feel like I’m in the middle of a massive transition, yet strangely, I feel more grounded than ever.
The expat life as I’ve known it is evolving. After 25+ years of moving, adjusting, and reinventing, I find myself at a place where I’m redefining what global living looks like for me. It’s not about leaving that life behind—it’s about reshaping it. There will still be travel, discovery, and new places, but the rhythm is different now. More intentional. More aligned with the life I’m building.
And that life?
It’s expanding in ways I’ve only dreamed of. My wellness business is thriving, and I’ve fully stepped into something bigger—helping women transform their lives through The 90-Day Wellness Reboot and my 4-Week Win program. I love seeing women take their health into their own hands, making small, powerful shifts that create massive change. Whether it’s through holistic wellness coaching, transformative travel, or digital marketing that lets them build freedom, everything I’ve been working toward is coming together in this season.
At the same time, my family is in motion. My oldest is looking to buy his first home (where did the time go?!), my second just started his first job, and my youngest is heading off to college this year. And just like that, my husband and I are becoming empty nesters. It’s surreal. A whole new chapter of our marriage, our lifestyle, our identity.
Through it all, my dog remains my little constant. No matter where we go, how many boxes we pack, or what changes come, there’s always that unconditional love, that quiet presence that reminds me to slow down and be in the moment.
But this year also marks something deeply personal for me.
It’s the year I finally spoke about my heart attack at 50. For a long time, I kept it to myself. It was too raw, too personal, too shocking. I had always seen myself as strong, energetic, and healthy. Yet, in a moment, life stopped me in my tracks and forced me to listen. To slow down. To wake up.
For a while, I didn’t talk about it.
Maybe because sharing it meant truly facing it. But recently, I was invited onto a podcast with a holistic practitioner from the UK, and for the first time, I opened up. I shared my story, my fears, and—most importantly—what I’ve done since to take back control of my health. That conversation was a turning point. It reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about wellness; it’s about making sure women never feel powerless over their own bodies. It’s about helping them take proactive steps before a crisis forces them to.
So, as I step into another trip around the sun, I do it with gratitude. For the changes. For the opportunities. For the challenges that push me to grow. For the life I’ve built and the one I’m still creating.
To all the women out there who are also in transition—whether it’s in career, family, health, or just within yourself—know this: change isn’t something to fear. It’s something to embrace. And if we allow it, it can be the most beautiful thing in the world.
Here’s to another year of exploration, reinvention, and stepping fully into who we are meant to be.
With gratitude, grit and grace,
Love,
Munisha xx
