What societal stereotypes are blocking your path to success?

Are they possible to overcome?

In this episode of the Fearlessly Curious Podcast, host I welcome Dr. Hannah Nazri, a passionate obstetrician, gynecologist, academic, and advocate. 

Dr. Hannah shares her inspiring journey from childhood to becoming a pioneering voice in women's health and education. We discuss the influence of her parents, the struggles she faced due to societal expectations, and her relentless pursuit of her dreams. 

Dr. Hannah emphasises the importance of understanding one's own body, advocating for women's health, and the role of education and research 

in driving change. Join us for an enlightening conversation on perseverance, breaking stereotypes, and following one's heart.

Dr. Nazri's journey is a powerful reminder that self-belief and perseverance can enable us to break free from societal constructs and pursue our dreams.

As I like to put it, life is too short to play safe – we must follow our hearts and remain fearlessly curious.

What if candid, open, vulnerable conversations were encouraged, would our healing journeys be more tender and gentle?

In this session, I address the cultural taboos around sex and intimacy for Asian and Southeast Asian women. I emphasise the importance of creating safe spaces for discussing these topics and introduce my practice as a trauma-informed life coach specialising in self-awareness.

The session is an excerpt from one of the monthly session I provide to my FREE private online community and covers the significance of trauma awareness, personal authority, and the importance of safe spaces.

In this session I provide tools for navigating fear, anxiety, and shame, particularly around sex and intimacy, using music as a method to regulate emotions and enhance self-awareness.

Did you know focusing on lack and what’s missing in your life is a major block to abundance.

In this episode I discuss how to overcome Abundance Blockages. I provide a simple and immediately actionable strategy & Structured Steps for Self-Validation bringing self awareness to empower your inner resources.

Focusing on the skills you have inspires forward movement, quietens anxiety and self doubt, nourishes self worth, motivates you to keep going and amplifies abundance.

I explore the emotional barriers to creating abundance, specifically the reliance on external validation from masculine figures like a father.

I provide a detailed strategy to overcome this fear by writing down needs, categorising them, and taking actionable steps to meet these needs independently.

The structured approach emphasises the importance of clarity, structure, and gradual progress, highlighting how these efforts can lead to a sense of accomplishment and self-validation.

I encourage the client to start small and integrate these practices into their lives, acknowledging personal growth and the shift from scarcity to abundance mindset.

The aim in every coaching & discovery session is not just to share and discuss but to suggest immediately actionable strategies for clients to honour their needs.

Here are the highlights :

00:00 Introduction: Seeking Support
00:24 Identifying the Fear of Abundance
00:50 The Importance of Writing Down Needs
01:07 Creating Focus and Structure
01:32 Action Steps for Abundance
02:37 Revisiting Unmet Needs
04:27 Shifting Perspective on Parental Support
06:26 Practical Steps for Self-Validation
07:39 Conclusion: Taking Small Steps

How can Self Awareness empower you on your Health journey?

Did you know that until the 1970s, medical data was based on the male physiology? Menopause reseach only started in the 1990s and data has been based primarily on the physiology of caucasian women!

In this excerpt from a Free Group Coaching Session in Season 2 #fearlesslycuriouspodcast I share why it's important for women to reclaim our personal authority by reconnecting with the wisdom within our own bodies, and challenging societal norms.

We are generations of women who have become so disconnected with our bodies and now dependent on other people to speak to our health without checking into whether the data (which is historic) resonates with what we FEEL to be true.

I encourage communication, community support, and self-prioritisation to foster a healthier, happier life especially during menopause.

The aim in every coaching session is not just to share and discuss but to suggest strategies for clients to honour their needs, in this case, the need for  self awareness in women's health in a world that does not fully support diversity in data.

00:00 Breaking the Silence : Empowering Women's Health through Self Awareness
00:46 The Importance of Self-Awareness
01:15 Challenges and Data Gaps
01:49 Trusting Your Own Awareness
02:59 Natural Remedies and Self-Healing

In this excerpt from Season 2 #fearlesslycuriouspodcast I'm sharing a clip from a Private Coaching Session with a client who's revamping their online presence as we build together the framework for their new entrepreneurial journey.

In this clip my client shares their internal struggle with self-doubt and fear of judgment in life especially when posting on social media. 

The importance of authenticity and self-expression is emphasized. I encourage my client to post content that brings joy rather than conforming to social expectations.

 I suggest how to deal with negative self-talk, such as acknowledging and logging doubts to understand and overcome them. 

Human design is introduced as a tool to understand your unique traits and to use this knowledge to navigate social media with confidence and a sense of direction. I encourage you to embrace your individuality, dismiss the fear of not being good enough, and to post content that genuinely represents YOU, turning the act of sharing into a joyful and empowering practice.

In every coaching session, the aim is not just to share and discuss but to suggest strategies for clients to honour their needs in this case to be seen and recognised for their authenticity.

After all what makes your business and you stand out in a sea of compeition is what no one can compete with - your Unique personality and vision.

Season 2 #fearlesslycuriouspodcast kicks off with a clip from a real  Conscious Parenting Coaching Session where I address the situation of a child choosing NOT to communicate with an authority figure, and the parent's role in managing this situation. 

I present an opportunity for the parents to recognise their child's consistent decisions to assert her boundaries as qualities in her developing character to be admired.

Their child is clear on their needs, has the ability to express them, is consistently & confidently showing up in their decisions showing strong boundaries.

We discuss how parents can support their children while maintaining safe and legal practices and the importance of open dialogues and understanding the perspectives of both the parents and the child. 

I highlight to the parents the importance of being open to expressing to their child that they are figuring things out, doing the best they can with what they know as they go along and sometimes parents don’t make the best decisions.

At the end of the day they are in this together and as long as together they stand strong with a forward view on refining and improving then any errors can be resolved with loving kindness and compassion

In every coaching session, the aim is not just to share and discuss but to suggest strategies for parents to honour their children's unique needs, in this case upholding boundaries, while fulfilling their legal obligations and responsibilities.
