Assalaamuâalaykum,
A client once came to me because every time she was around her in-laws, she felt judged and wronged. Even the thought of meeting them filled her with anxiety.
The anticipation of what might be said would weigh so heavily on her that she began avoiding them as much as possible.Â
...Assalaau'alaykum,
Think of your daily decisions as building blocks and together these blocks create the path you walk on.
As believers, we hope to lay down foundations that are rooted in values such as honesty, kindness, and fairness.
Let's say you're at work, faced with a choice â maybe a chance...
Assalaamuâalaykum,
To be seen is to affirm that you matter⊠just as you are.
Itâs one of the most precious gifts we can give another person:Â the gift of truly seeing them.
To acknowledge them as they are, to interact without the constant conversation in our minds of what they âneed to knowâ or âh...
Assalamu alaykum,
To the weary hearted, never lose hope.
Lifeâs challenges come in seasons and no hardship is meant to last forever.
If you feel like you're on a sinking ship, trust that Allah SWT will send you a life raft in the right place, at the right time.
If it seems like youâve been throw...
Assalaamuâalaykum,
I wish burnout would announce itself loudly before we step into its cycle, but sadly, it doesnât.
It sneaks up on us from within - there are tell-tale signs, but only those in tune with their bodies will notice the signals it sends.
Unfortunately, many of us only pay attention ...
Assalaamu'alaykum,
I understand - life can feel like a rollercoaster sometimes.
One minute, things are going smoothly and the next, youâre feeling the sting of someoneâs unkind words, or plans take an unexpected turn, leaving you frustrated.
Or maybe youâve been waiting for a duaa to be answered,...
Assalaamu'alaykum, Â
Last December, I had the blessing of traveling to Iceland with my children, Alhamdulillah.Â
The landscape was absolutely breath taking. Everything you've heard about its beauty holds true, it even exceeded our expectations. Â
From the pristine white snow that blanketed the la...
Assalaau'alaykum,
Do you reach for your phone as soon as you wake up?
Do you kick off your day with thoughts of stress, engaging in weighty conversations, or navigating mental hurdles about conquering your seemingly endless to-do list?
If the answer is yes, you've already introduced a multitude o...
Assalaamuâalaykum,
I once interviewed a man who had been falsely accused and imprisoned for many years. When I asked him what carried him through those dark days, his answer really moved me.
He said that every morning, before even getting out of bed, he would list over 100 things he was grateful f...
Assalaamuâalaykum,
Change can be scary for most of us. Itâs often experienced as a loss of comfort or control and that feeling alone can make us resist it, sometimes without even realising.
We settle into familiar rhythms and routines. We get used to how life is, how people are and even how we are...
Assalaamu âalaykum,
If youâd told me years ago that Iâd one day be speaking on a stage or delivering workshops to large crowds, I would have laughed and said, âNot a chance.â
Public speaking was my biggest fear.
Iâm talking heart racing, hands shaking, voice trembling⊠the kind of fear that makes...
