Assalaamu’alaykum,

I delivered a training session this week inside of Breaking Barriers (our sisters group coaching programme) on how sabr is the gateway to resilience. 

We loosely translate sabr as patience and when we picture it in action, we imagine gritted teeth, silent endurance, waiting, tol...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I always find so much inspiration in nature. In fact, Allah reminds us in the Quran to do so: 

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the day and night there are signs for people of reason." (3:190)

This verse encourages us to look beyond w...

Assalaamu'alaykum, 

Did you know a plane can fly almost the entire journey on autopilot? It can take off, cruise, begin its descent… and unless someone consciously checks the direction, the plane could technically travel a long distance slightly off course without anyone noticing straight away.

Ev...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Sometimes you hear something you've heard many times before, you hear it again but this time it lands differently. 

I experienced this a few days ago and I wanted to share it with you.

In the personal development space, you hear lots of recommendations that mirror faith based p...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I was reminded yesterday of the importance of safe spaces and just how essential they are for the human heart.

Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed throughout my life with a good network of family and friends. People who love, support and hold me with care.
And yet, if I’m honest, ...

Assalaamu’alaykum, 

This week inside Breaking Barriers, we had a very powerful session during our monthly Shukr Circle.

The theme was hardships.

Now, gratitude isn’t something we naturally associate with difficulty. But the reflections that emerged were deeply moving and I wanted to share a few w...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

I was reminded of death again recently.

A few close family members were involved in a serious accident. Alhamdulillah, they are okay.
But it could so easily have ended very differently.

One moment, you’re thinking about everyday, ordinary things. What you need to do. The calls y...

Assalaamu’alaykum,

Health is one of those blessings you never want to waste yet it’s one the Prophet ﷺ told us many of us would waste… sadly.

And these past few weeks have been a big “wake-up call” reminder of that for me.

Last month, I had the next four weeks mapped out. My launch prep, a TV int...

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

Today marks three years since my husband’s soul was returned to Allah.   

Three years. SubhanaAllah.  

I feel like I have lived many lifetimes inside of these three years. 

In some ways, I feel like I was meant to become an entirely different person through this test.  

A t...

Assalaamu'alaykum,

I understand - life can feel like a rollercoaster sometimes.

One minute, things are going smoothly and the next, you’re feeling the sting of someone’s unkind words, or plans take an unexpected turn, leaving you frustrated.

Or maybe you’ve been waiting for a duaa to be answered,...

Assalaamu'alaykum,  

Last December, I had the blessing of traveling to Iceland with my children, Alhamdulillah. 

The landscape was absolutely breath taking. Everything you've heard about its beauty holds true, it even exceeded our expectations.  

From the pristine white snow that blanketed the la...

 Assalaamu'alaykum,

Experiencing pressures in life is something every one of us can relate to at some point or another - whether it's managing our job, facing conflicts, taking care of our family or dealing with extreme personal challenges.

The constant push and pull of responsibilities, the weigh...
