Rewind and Reflect 2019

2019 Review

✨This was my second year working to inspire and support Muslim women to live the best version of themselves. I have undergone a rebranding since completing my Back to the Fitra Certification in 'the Inside-out paradigm ' with my focus on supporting all women to awaken to their innate inner wisdom and live purposefully in the present moment with calm, clarity and contentment.

🙌🏽 I’m starting off 2020 gifting my ladies with an opportunity to decide on what their key areas for gaining total clarity during a smart focused 30 minute discovery session. I am also launching my 1st Essential Awakening Monthly Women's Mastermind where together we will be able to transform any challenge into an opportunity for illuminating our innate wisdom. During 2020, I will be digging deep into how to reconcile our relationships with our ageing parents, this topic being inspired from my own journey of reframing and reconciling my experience of the strained relationship with my dad.

🎤I participated in 5 online speaking events/interviews

🐪 1packed my bags and headed to Morocco for solo sightseeing and some sisterly bonding at the BIG RECONNECT SLEEPOVER RETREAT where I got to hang out with the Best bunch of Muslimahs in Marrakech. I also found my soul home.

✨ I had a lot of personal growth

👵🏽Both my mum and dad have had serious health issues, cancer scares and operations. This has had me facing the fact that my parents are not getting younger and nor am I.

💃I finalized my 2nd civil divorce in April and can see how far I have come in a year as far as letting go of the anger, resentment, fear and self doubt. I actually, caught myself yesterday sending a mental Mubarak to my Pak ex, having found out about a success and acclaim for a project he coordinated. I may not care for the things that interest him, but I can be happy for him. Just like I can be happy for anyone I don't agree with or like.

💑 My daughter got married in November to the 'best of men' and I am relieved that she did not make my mistakes in choosing husbands. I realise that I have a lot to learn from her if I ever decide on trying for #3 😅

🌻 In my 8th year as a convert I found the confidence to uncover my heart connection to Allah. My own personal relationship with Him and to focus on gratitude and trust. I chose to set aside all the previous tightly held rules and dogmas that I unconsciously picked up from other Muslims on my path and have made an effort to put down the Judeo-Christian belief that OBEDIENCE is the only form of gratitude to Allah. As part of this journey in Faith I have chosen to remove my hijab so that I can develop a heart connection to its purpose and form for me.

🌈I’ve started to chart my healing journey into Body Love... having the last frontier of conquest being my self loathing regarding being photographed. I uncovered the seeds of trauma that underlie my disconnect with my physical vessel and am looking to pouring love into my shell in 2020. Join me on this journey all my FAB40+ ladies ❤

BIG REALIZATIONS

💡Women living in confidence, contentment and clarity
💡 Understanding the connection between dropping our overthinking story building and awakening to our inner wisdom which helps us practice Tawakkal.
💡Understanding that our feelings come from our thinking and that we all sew things differently. So issues like setting boundaries just resolve naturally when you realize the implication of separate realities. Namely, that you do not need to force your views on others or have others act the way you want in order to be OK
💡The liberation that comes from knowing you do not have to change your thinking or control your emotions to be OK. You are already OK.

These 4 are by far the themes that come up in every single session

WHAT I LEARNED

🙌🏽We all need love. All of us, especially those displaying difficult behaviour in response to their unpleasant feelings. Connection before correction in all our relationships, including with ourselves.

🙌🏽Allah is the best of planners. We just fail to realize this and that is the cause of worry and anxiety.

🙌🏽Emotions do not tell us anything about the situation or ourselves. All emotions are is an indicator of the quality of our thought in that moment. Both thought and feeling pass naturally if you don't try and attach meaning to them.

This year I realized my own strength and God given ability to make profound esoteric topics readily accessible 🎉

Also, realized even more how much I love the work I do. I love serving Allah by inspiring and supporting women to get out of their heads and into their hearts, which happebs to be where Allah guides us from.

I really mean when I say that I am incredibly grateful, hopeful and excited to share with you any benefits from my lessons learned.
