I had the privilege of speaking on the TEDx stage today about a topic near and dear to my heart: the fact that sleep loss is impairment, including for us as clinicians. As long as we move the needle regarding the tolerance of sleep loss in medicine, this is all worth it.

Full video is available on YouTube.

This is really beautiful and insightful. Self growth and handling situations better than our old selves is one of the most gratifying aspects of getting wiser.

Men who always complain about meeting materialistic women are often chasing the wrong type of women. You’re always looking for women who take from you, while ignoring those who can support and help you — Pastor King Okonkwo Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has advised men to stop chasing women who constantly demand money, gifts and phones, urging them to seek partners who can support their growth and build a future with them. Speaking on relationships and marriage, the pastor said some men complain that women are only interested in what they can get from them, without considering the kind of women they pursue. “You’re always looking for girls that are taking from you. You see the ones that can support you and help you, you don’t want that one,” he said. Okonkwo urged men to stop generalising about the opposite s+x, insisting that there are still good, godly women willing to build a life with their partners. “Don’t join all this gender war: men are sc¥m, women are sc¥m. It’s a lie. It’s the type you are chasing,” he added. The pastor also challenged men who delay marriage until they become wealthy, arguing that a supportive wife can help them achieve their goals faster. “When you marry a good woman, she’s a multiplier for everything in your life. And that changed when I met and married my wife. Things that were moving slowly began to go fast,” he said. Using a real estate business as an example, he explained that a couple could expand their professional networks and improve their chances of success by combining their connections and skills. “All your talents are inside her, or inside him, and coming together, two are better than one. They have a great reward for their labour,” Okonkwo said, referencing the biblical principle of two working together.
Acum 9 ani lansam primul album, “Despre El”. As minți dacă aș spune că încă sunt surprinsă la concerte când îmi cereți piese de pe acest album… nu sunt 😅 L-am scris într-o perioadă în care încercam să înțeleg mai bine multe lucruri din viața mea, și acum că văd câți oameni încă se regăsesc în ceea ce eu scriam atunci.. cred că e cel mai frumos lucru pe care mi l-a adus muzica. Mulțumesc că ați rămas! La 10 ani se întâmplă 2 lucruri: lansez al 6lea album și facem un concert foarte special (hint în ultimul slide) - Irina)

Yesterday I was reminded why I will NEVER stop talking about women’s health. ❤️ I was supposed to be discussing endometriosis, women’s healthcare and the reality of living and working with chronic health conditions on national television. But the interview was dropped and another story took priority. I understand that happens in news. But the irony wasn’t lost on me. Because isn’t that exactly what happens to women’s health, time and time again? We’re told to wait. To put up with the pain. That it’s normal. That it’s just part of being a woman. Yet in 2026, the average diagnosis time for endometriosis in the UK is STILL 9 years and 4 months. Nine years of potentially suffering, questioning your body and fighting to be heard. This isn’t about one cancelled interview. It’s about a much bigger problem. Women’s health should never be an afterthought. Our pain deserves investigation. Our conditions deserve research. Our bodies deserve understanding. And our voices deserve to be heard. I’ve experienced the frustration of fighting for answers myself, and if I can use this platform to make even one woman question symptoms she’s been told to ignore, I will. Because we deserve better than being told to just get on with it. Women’s health is not a secondary issue. It’s a priority. And it’s time we started treating it like one. 🤍
