Funmi is a TEDx speaker, clinician, coach and mindset writer on a mission to help women think deeper, see clearer and live free.

On paper, her life looks like it shouldn’t fit together. She’s a consultant in head and neck cancer care, a coach, and a competitive bodybuilder. But every one of those worlds runs on the same things: discipline, performing under pressure, and the courage to keep reinventing yourself. In the clinic, she sits with people at some of the hardest moments of their lives. On the competition stage, she’s learned that the real work happens in the months nobody sees. As a coach, she’s seen time and again that changing a body always starts with changing how someone thinks. Together they’ve given her a rare view of what people are capable of when the story doesn’t go to plan.

In 2026 she took the stage at TEDx Northern Quarter with an idea called The And Then Mindset. It’s built on one question: when life doesn’t go to plan, and then what? It’s about refusing to let the hardest chapter be the last one.

Her mindset work comes from her own lived experience. Having faced some incredibly tough challenges, she knows first-hand that the story keeps going. Now she writes and speaks for high-functioning women who are holding it all together but quietly unfulfilled. She talks honestly about self-worth, identity, relationships and purpose, and about the patterns, people and mental prisons women outgrow but stay in anyway.

Her message is simple: stop waiting for permission, trust that you’ll figure it out, and start living in 4K.
