My life defining moments

         

Assalaamu'alaykum,  Last year, I transitioned all my work under the umbrella of Awakened Hearts Academy. Since then, we’ve received several enquiries asking about my current offers and whether I continue to provide confidence coaching with The Confident Muslimah.   I’d like to take this opportunity to briefly re-introduce myself and my current services to both existing and new members, InshaAllah.  Who am I?  I feel it’s always good to introduce the person behind the business first, so here goes…  I'm a nature enthusiast and an adventurer at heart. I’m a dedicated mother based in the UK with my 3 children.   I’m deeply inspired by our individual uniqueness and appreciate all things creative. I’m in awe of every small and big thing in nature as each one carries their own miraculous design and the ayat (signs) of Allah. Ask anyone who knows me well, they will tell you my favourite place to be is on top of a mountain!  I'm also a community worker and with my love for knowledge, consider myself a student for life.  I don’t believe in using big marketing tactics or relying on “tried and tested” persuasive speech (I’m actually a digital marketer’s worst nightmare lol), I strive to write directly from my heart, firmly believing that Allah has already decreed whom it will reach and how it will resonate with other hearts. May Allah guide us and accept from us.   My life-defining moments  I believe our entire lives are made up of multiple teaching moments, all curated by Allah SWT. But I will mention three pivotal instances that significantly re-shaped my perspective, forcing me to pause, to re-examine life, my purpose and reflect on the ultimate destination of this temporary journey we’re all on.  Life moment #1: When my children were born. I found my parental journey also became a valuable mirror, unveiling not just my capacity to love and sacrifice but also exposing my vulnerabilities. Some of my greatest teaching moments have come from my children! Allahumma Barik Lahum. Life moment #2: When I overcame my paralysing fear of public speaking, with the help of Allah. Trust me when I say, if I could do this… any one can!  Life moment #3: When I lost my husband in early 2022. It was sudden, unexpected and forced me to confront the fragility of this temporary world and the reality of the next eternal realm that awaits us all. What I do?  I’m the founder of The Awakened Hearts Academy and The Confident Muslimah.   The Confident Muslimah was created to deliver an alternative confidence training model, one that’s firmly rooted in our relationship with Allah. As opposed to some of the fakery and ego-led confidence training found in the secular world, I designed a paradigm that offers something even more powerful and ultimately rewarding. The Confident Muslimah is still very much up and running!  The inception of Awakened Hearts Academy last year was driven by a vision to deliver education that stands upon three core pillars:  Context – Understanding this world in relation to the Hereafter Character – Refining our character in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet (SAW). Courage – Nurturing spiritually-rooted courage to attain unparalleled levels of confidence.   My services: I send out a weekly newsletter through which I share my honest reflections, life experiences and coaching tips in hope that it will offer fresh perspectives, benefits and some form of guidance to brothers and sisters worldwide, with the Help of the Almighty.  ‘AHA’ moments (AHA - acronym for Awakened Hearts Academy :)  Weekly short notes to inspire deeper thoughts, discussions and reflections – coming soon!  1:1 coaching This service is exclusively offered to sisters, factoring in the deep meaningful bond I develop with my 1:1 clients. As a coach, I provide gentle support at every stage, championing and challenging clients to foster personal growth and baseerah (insights). I create a safe space for them to freely express their innermost thoughts, fears, and desires without fear of judgment or pressure. Together, we engage in honest moments of muhasabah (self-evaluation) and most importantly, we connect every aspect back to Allah and our ultimate purpose and destination. Book a free 1:1 consultation  Breaking Barriers online coaching group Alhamdulilah, this group has been running for 5 years now and it’s filled with incredible, compassionate and driven sisters. Beyond the personal development training, the essence of this group thrives upon a profound sense of suhba (companionship). The connection among members is truly a gift from Allah. Join Us! To preserve the intimate connections within the group, this service is also currently tailored exclusively for sisters. BUT we’re hoping to open up a similar group for brothers too. If you’re a brother interested in joining such a group, guided by a Muslim male coach then hit reply and let me know!  The Travellers programme (open to brothers and sisters)  This is a six week transformational programme designed to help you adopt a Prophetic approach to navigate the intricacies of this worldly life. We firmly believe that by aligning with The Travellers Mindset ™ you can confidently rise above challenges and stay focused on what matters most – seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT and working towards your akhirah (afterlife).   The Spiritual Confidence programme (open to brothers and sisters).  I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be delivering a six week programme to help you cultivate spiritually centered confidence. The programme will use The Belief Model ™ to raise your confidence levels by gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and nurturing a strong meaningful connection with your Rabb (Lord). No worldly tool can come close to the levels of confidence you can experience once you’re grounded in Tawakkul (Trust in God)!   Alhamdulilah, we’ve run all our programmes multiple times to great reviews. Shukr to Allah always.   That’s what I can offer you, in a nutshell :) We do have additional initiatives in the pipeline but more on those later, inshaAllah.  Thank you for reading this through to the end, I know I said 'brief introduction' at the start but you should know me by now - I tend to write a lot! :) Your feedback is super important to us, so please do write back to let us know what you feel is working and any suggestions for improvement InshaAllah.
