I want you guys to reconsider the way you evaluate your results. There is a wrong and a right way to do this.

Google defines Personification as:  the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.We can use the method of personification to help us visualize abstract concepts, and the best use of this method is to use it to better get in tough with your emotions. In this emotion, I talk about how it was difficult for me to experience the feelings of curiosity and how I changed it so that I can tap into this emotion to fuel my creativity. Use this method to better get in tough with any emotion that you want to enjoy! Pleasure, satisfaction, happiness. You might have been denying yourself positive emotions for so long that now you are completely detached from those sensations. This process of personification of emotions that I outline in this podcast, helps you get in touch with these positive emotions so you can capitalize on that energy and channel it to create a dream life InshaAllah.

In a vicious circle, one thing feeds off the next that feeds the 1st and everything spirals down.In abundance mindset, you elevate others, and not only do you elevate other, you have to come from an elevated place to do it in the 1st place.

Not to mention, when everyone practices this mentality, they bring you up as well! Super cool bonus. Find out how we can practice that in today's world, and how much Islam promotes abundance. 

Lets talk about marriage! and finding a spouse! and how to do it right!YESS.... I think this topic is soooo needed. In this podcast you'll discover the difference between desirability and your WANT to be desired. These are 2 completely different things, but often they are confused to be the same. Reason it becomes important for us to differentiate between the 2 is because this becomes a key to show up as a confident person, no matter if you are looking for a spouse, or if you already have one. Confidence in a relationship is a major contributor to the satisfaction in the relationship.

This podcast will tell you how important your internal emotional state is for you. Lucky for us, that state is under our control through our thoughts.  Indulgent emotions are feelings that seem important, but get us no results.

I am going to keep this podcast light, because I am going to give you this week to implement what you've learned. Implementation is the key behind knowledge, otherwise there is minimal knowledge can do. Don't worry about implementing a lot, take a small action and be consistent with it. It's about repetition.

I title this episode after a coaching concept that has been life changing for me and my clients. Manuals. Kind of like manuals that you get with a new car or a new appliance. Only this time we are talking about manuals we have created for people we are in a relationship with.I talk about how these are detrimental to our well being and the well being of the relationship. But like always, I also tell you how to get out of this trap. When you listen to this podcast, just remember, all of us have manuals for other. If you can't find any look harder. If you are finding struggle in a relationship, chances are its because you have subconsciously developed a manual.Lets change the narrative of a relationship that the culture feeds us, and lets create one that feeds our mental health!!

Topic of emotions is near and dear to my heart, as a life coach and as a human!Quran mentions the word "Qalb" 130 times, referring to the heart, which has historically been the seat of human emotions.Listen to the podcast to see how the design emotions is so helpful for humans to create their lives. Expand your emotional vocabulary to get the most of what this life as to offerAlso, listen in to find out what my kids are learning in school about their emotions ;)

Since everything is created from thoughts, wouldn't it be nice if we could measure our progress?Say no more! because the Thought-Work scale does exactly that. Listen to this episode to find out how you can monitor your progress towards your mental health goals. Make the joyful thoughts easy and repetitive with practice, until they are a zero on a thought-work scaleEven the automatic actions of watching TV to bring you relaxation. TV does not cause you to relax, your thoughts do, they are just automatic and easy, a zero on the scale. That way you don't have to do the thought work around your difficult day at work. But in the end, watching TV as an escape gives you an overall net negative result in your life, while doing the thought work around your work day will open doors of success and a net positive result.Trust me guys, if I could spoon feed you thought work I would. But that is not something that I can do for and not something that can be done with knowledge. You HAVE to do the work. Otherwise mental health will remain an illusive dream. That will be a tragedy, because superior mental health is for everyone. EVERYONE. This thought-work scale is a tool to monitor your progress towards superior mental health.

I pray it inspires you to start this journey as well.In this episode I mention why following a pure desire is important for the health of the mind and the family unit.

Use power of observation of your thoughts to your advantage. I review the formula briefly here and then I describe more advanced concepts to help you in the path of self coaching and mental health. I describe why it is so important to get to the source of your thoughts, and how to clean them up effectively so that it causes a transformation, rather than a change.  Self coaching is simple, but it is not easy. Quran urges you to ponder 750 times in some shape or form. This is an open invitation for humans to start the path of self exploration, so they can arrive at the right conclusions InshaAllah. Please join me in this podcast as I explain the step by step of how to start this journey and create a transformation through meta-cognition and the self coaching model. 

In this episode I bring a unique approach where we can use judgement of others for our character refinement.Say what? I judge others and my character improves? How could that be possible? In this podcast I describe how we can use judgement of others as an introspection tool, and how useful that can be. Judgement is part of human wiring, so instead of shaming yourself for having it, use it to make some lasting change in yourself and in your circumstance. Use this process to command respect and actually change the outcome. 

Creating a podcast on this topic was a true joy for me. Allah at the center of our lives. How else have we been living our lives? is there anything else that can be the center of the focus of our lives? These are important questions that we rarely stop to ask ourselves.

I talk about not to state the obvious, AGAIN, but to tell you how we can use these pleasures to gain well being and wholeness!SAY WHAT?? well being through SUGAR.... well it's not simple, but it is Doable ;)Also, InshaAllah this podcast will publish in Ramadan, so this topic of pleasure might seem out of place for this month. But after you listen you'll find out why it is exactly the right topic for this month. And if you listen to it outside of Ramadan, then you still gain the benefit of these concepts. 

In this episode I talk about how to utilize Ramadan for the health benefits of weight loss. I have been meaning to talk about these concepts for the longest time, and I thought Ramadan would be the best time for it. I talk about how to handle urges for food and control diet for emotional eaters. This topic resonates with so many of us. Eating from emotions. We have done it for a long time and we struggle with weight loss because of it. Here I describe what it would be like just to feel the emotion rather than eating from it. That's how to gain permanent weight loss. I have taken a complex subject and attempted to distill it down to one podcast, while keeping it relevant for Ramadan so InshaAllah we take the most benefit. Take a listen, and leave me a review on iTunes!!Have a blessed Ramadan!

Is empowerment over rated? everyone seems to be talking about it and yet we all seem to be struggling with it. That is because empowerment is a practice, you keep working towards it.

I am so excited for this topic.How to make decisions you ask? I say taking advice works temporarily but eventually fails. Then we seek more advice, more answers from sources and keep searching.

You have the answer.Don't believe me? Let me prove it to you in this podcast. This does not mean do not seek knowledge! It just means don't delay decision making based on gathering ALL the knowledge. That will never happen and it will be an excuse for you to keep procrastinating making a decision.  People that are very good at delaying decisions, know exactly what I am talking about!

Hi guys!This time we are talking about mental health. My favorite topic!Life is 50/50, you will always face the difficult times and happy times. Life is half and and half. Considering that there is something wrong with your mental health just because you are having a hard time managing your mind around challenging times, is very natural, but completely unnecessary.  It when we assign mental illness diagnosis to normal human emotion is when it gets the better of us.  And weird thing about negative emotions, the more you run from them, the bigger they get. There is nothing wrong with you for feeling negative emotions. Stress, anxiety, sadness is a part of life. listen to this podcast to get details and how to embrace emotions rather than running from them.

In this episode we talk about the powerful concept of self love, worthiness and how to use the power of the mind to identify self love in this very moment.

That is my promise to you❤❤Separate self love from narcissism, and use this love to set goals that will create a life you love. Can't wait to hear from you guys!!!

Hello there!!How incredible that we are on our 3rd episode.In this episode I share insight into changing your thought pattern and how sometimes it can be difficult to recognize that what you have believed most of your life is just a thought. I offer you strategies that you can use to be more understanding and less judgemental of your thoughts. 😊 I hope you enjoy and take some real value from this episode!!❤❤

In this episode we talk about where do thoughts originate from and how to pick them to serve our purpose. To reach our goal, we need to consciously pick a thought that helps us. Very SIMPLY, and I mean in a PAINFULLY simple way to describe is that thoughts originate from either the higher brain, the prefrontal cortex, or the lower brain, the hind brain and the amygdala. Listen to the episode to learn the job of each of these parts of the brain and how each one is beautifully designed to serve us.ENJOY!
