Many of us try to manifest things in our lives from a place of activity. We believe the more we do, the more we get. However, we easily forget that a huge component of manifestation is surrender. So, what does it mean to let go of the fruits of your labor? It’s the understanding that the day you plant the seed is not the day you get the fruit. The day you set the intention is not the day you see your intention come to life. There needs to be a cultivation of patience and gratitude moment to...

Looking at my life and looking at my past, there was definitely a lack of confidence. It was interesting to see how going into unknown territories, doing the hard things and doing things I’m not used to doing in order to get better at them allowed me to get more confident in who I am. Confidence is something that grows and you can water it. If it is an intention to grow in your confidence and in yourself, you can put that as your intention as we go through this podcast. In this episode, I...

As someone who has experienced burnouts multiple times, I wanted to share an episode with you on why it happens, how to avoid it and most importantly what can it teach us about ourselves. Burnouts can be an indication that the way we are moving through life is unnatural and detached. We are all designed differently and we are not meant to be moving through life in the same ways. Burnouts teach us that we are not checking in with ourselves enough of the time and illness will manifest to get...

A year into the pandemic, we all feel like the light at the end of the tunnel keeps moving away from us. It has been a challenging year to say the least and with that a lot has come up to the surface. In this episode, Nawar and I discuss how we have noticed shame resurface in a very visible and destructive way. We are shamed for any opinions we have on this invisible, yet mighty virus. Whether we stand for or against the vaccine, whether we believe in conspiracy theories or not, all of us...

Many of us are unaware of the limiting beliefs we have when it comes to our abilities to self-heal. We tend to focus on one method of healing instead of looking at all different types of modalities that can enhance our recovery. Being healthy goes beyond just what you feed your body. It is what you feed your mind and how you nurture your soul. In this episode, I share with you snippets of my own health journey and what really helped me feel better. There was a lot of trial and error in the...

In life, one is really lucky to have a friend, yet alone a best friend and sister who is interested in the same topics as you. Tamara is that person to me. We may be different in some way, but we are alike in many others. Friends for the last 25 years, I feel so grateful to have recorded this episode with her. When it comes to healing the root cause of illnesses, Tamara herself knows first-hand how important it is to make not only dietary changes but lifestyle changes too. Perhaps one of...

Perhaps one of my most vulnerable and raw conversations yet, I chose to share this after hesitating for a few days. When I recorded the episode, I was feeling quite intense and through the conversation it is definitely felt. There were tears, laughter and lots of storytelling. I allowed myself to feel through my whole range of emotions instead of holding back from speaking authentically. My experience with dealing with inner-conflict has been to remain present with it. Growing up I was so...

Did you know that the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world? It is a huge contributor to climate change but if we all come together to make small changes on an individual level, we can do something about it.   In this episode, I was honored to speak to Hannah Rasekh, a kind-hearted, confident & passionate woman who is half Palestinian-Jordanian, half British. In a time when influencers keep jumping on fashion trends that keep going out of style, Hannah’s...
