My Journey

Trading has always fascinated me—the idea of creating financial freedom and designing a life of independence was irresistible. My own trading journey began in 2020, during the pandemic. Like so many others, I found myself furloughed and searching for purpose when I stumbled across stories of people achieving impressive results through trading. Inspired, I started doing my research and picked up books like Trading In The Zone and began to see how deeply mindset and market success are intertwined. This sparked a passion for learning not just the technical side of trading but the psychological aspects too.

Yet, as I stepped into the world of trading, I quickly started learning all about the technicals and put the psychological aspect aside. I then found myself grappling with emotional challenges—falling into the traps of FOMO, revenge trading, and impulsive decisions that often ended in frustration and drawdown. Despite my commitment to learning the craft and following a trading plan, I struggled to stay disciplined and consistent. The pressure of the markets left me feeling anxious and disconnected from the very goals that had drawn me to trading in the first place.

Looking back, that period taught me something vital: our mindset is the foundation of our trading journey. At first, it was subtle—moments of hesitation or stress—but those feelings soon grew into a deeper struggle, one that made me question how I could continue. I realised I needed to change my approach, not just to trading but to myself. That’s when I began exploring mindfulness and meditation.

I didn’t set out to create a platform; I was simply looking for a way to help myself. Incorporating mindfulness into my daily routine became a lifeline. Slowly but surely, these practices transformed my trading experience. I became more focused, more resilient, and better equipped to handle the ups and downs of the markets.

Seeing the impact this shift had on my performance and my well-being, I knew I wasn’t alone in these struggles. Conversations with fellow traders confirmed it: so many of us face the same challenges, yet few talk about the mental side of trading. I started to wonder—what if there was a way to support traders like me, not just with strategies, but with tools to manage the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the territory?

And so, Inner Trader was born.

I designed Inner Trader to be the resource I wish I’d had when I started. It’s a collection of guided meditations created specifically for traders, helping to build emotional resilience, discipline, and focus. These practices are designed to fit seamlessly into your day, whether you’re preparing for the market open, managing stress during high-pressure trades, or unwinding after a tough session.

Mindfulness has completely changed my life and the way I trade, and I believe it can do the same for you. With Inner Trader, my mission is to empower traders to reclaim their confidence, focus, and peace of mind. This isn’t just about financial success—it’s about thriving in every sense of the word, finding clarity in chaos, and creating the financial, time and location freedom we all strive for.

I look forward to welcoming you on this journey. Sending you peace and profits always,
