Ever felt like the clock is ticking and you're running a race against time to find the perfect life partner? Or perhaps, you're feeling the pressure of societal norms that "you need to be married by a certain age." Well, you are not alone. Join me in this episode as I share my personal journey of love and marriage, and how I overcame societal pressures and damaging advice. The quest for a spouse is not simple, and often, we are swamped with the idea of finding the perfect one. But remember, perfection is a myth. I challenge this conventional notion in the episode and focus on the importance of recognizing and accepting human imperfections. I encourage you to focus on “who you want to be” rather than “what are you looking for”, shifting the perspective of your spouse search. In this episode, I also discuss my personal experiences growing up in an Islamic household, facing societal expectations, and surmounting personal blocks and beliefs. I elaborate on my transformative journey with a  coach and the importance of 'doing the work' before and during a relationship. I also debunk some common beliefs about men and relationships. So ladies, let's challenge the status quo together, foster a supportive community for single Muslim women, and redefine our journey towards a fulfilling relationship. Share this empowering conversation with a single Muslim woman in your life and let's embark on this quest together. Follow @sheempowermentcoaching on Facebook and Instagram.
