Hey there, I’m Nadim! 

I recently entered the next survey bracket (41-50 year olds), so thought I’d share some life experience…

I’m husband to an absolute rockstar wife, dad to two exceptional teenagers and the eldest brother in a family of five siblings. We share our home with a dog, and two cats reluctantly share their space with us. Former scientist-turned businessman by trade and entrepreneur at heart, I’m insanely curious about the world around me and figuring out my purpose within it. 

At age 30 I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The last decade has been a journey of self-discovery and introspection. Part of the journey was learning how to strip the psychological triggers & provocations of their power. Today, I have a really good handle on the OCD and can tame even the most obtrusive thoughts. 

But I’ve recently come to a new realisation… Simply ‘managing‘ a condition and ‘getting by‘, is a totally uninspiring way to live out the rest of my life! Actually, it’s a f*cking insult – to my younger self’s promises and dreams; to my adult self’s values and ambitions. So, I’m here to flip the script and change my relationship with OCD from adversary to ally. 

Through this shared blog platform and site, I’m aiming to channel the misguided focus, attention and fixation that feature heavily in OCD – into positive ideas, practices and habits. Ultimately, turning it into a cognitive superpower!

I hope you can follow the journey…
