Healing in Real Time: Adoption, Marriage, Life, Returning to India & So much more!

In this deeply personal episode of Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana, I’m interviewed by Kimberly Katherine from The Light Keeper's Path — and what unfolds is healing in real time.

We talk about my personal life's journey:

✨ Being adopted from India at a very young age
 ✨ Growing up in Maryland and navigating identity
 ✨ Finding the one, marriage challenges, choosing commitment and resilience 
 ✨ Discovering my gifts through fitness and organization
 ✨ Returning to India after 36 years
 ✨ Visiting the orphanage where my journey began
 ✨ Reclaiming belonging, forgiveness, and empowerment

This conversation is raw, emotional, and transformational.

If you’ve ever questioned your story or wondered how healing really happens — this one is for you.

With love,
 Shabana 💛

In this Manifesting Monday episode, Shabana shares a real-life story from Spring 2023 that perfectly captures the power of everyday manifestation. At the time, she was working in cleaning, decluttering, and personal training — and casually thinking about how much she needed a better mop.

The next day? A stranger at Kohl’s tries to return a brand-new mop to Amazon… and  gets angry and leaves it there for the employees to deal with it.

What happened next is a reminder that manifestation isn’t always dramatic even though he was very dramatic — sometimes it looks like perfect timing, curiosity, and being willing to say, “I’ll take it.”

In This Episode:

• Why your thoughts are more powerful than you think
• How manifestation often shows up in ordinary moments
• Being in the right place at the right time
• The role of curiosity in receiving blessings
• Why the things meant for you will show up for you
• Trust in the divine timing
• Finding magic in everyday life

This story is playful, simple, and powerful — proof that even something as small as a mop can remind us we are supported.

Manifesting Mantras for the Week:

✨ I am never behind. I am exactly on time for my destiny!
 ✨ Money flows to me in expected and unexpected ways! Yes please!
 ✨ My desires are always manifesting before my eyes, and I am so blessed!

Feel free to scroll to the bottom leave me some 5 stars or hearts and some super kind words - I would SO appreciate that - love words are my love language! xoxo Coach Shabana

In honor of February — the love month — I’m sharing the full story of how I became Shabana Knight… but first, we rewind 19 years.

In this episode, I share:

• Growing up adopted from India and raised on the East Coast
• My early dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher
• College, heartbreak, and realizing there had to be more to life
• The spontaneous decision to move to Texas for ministry school
• The prayer I prayed about meeting my future husband
• The day I met David (and the unexpected “download” moment)
• Long-distance love, handwritten letters, and 9PM phone calls
• Our commitment to no physical touch before marriage
• Opposites attracting and trusting God’s timing
• The I love you instead of the engagement ring
• No physical touch before the altar (not recommended but can be done) - first time holding hands and everything else - best day ever! 12/01/07

This is a story about faith, growth, patience, and how sometimes love begins as a quiet friendship.

If you’ve ever wondered how to trust the process, follow the nudge, or believe that what’s meant for you will find you — this one’s for you.

Happy Love Month 💛

In this Manifesting Mondays episode, I’m taking you back to August 2014 — when our family of five had just moved 45 minutes away into our very first home. Three kids under five. A husband working crazy hours. No family nearby. Brand-new town. Brand-new routines.

And one late-night Walmart trip that did not go as planned.

What started as a peaceful, much-needed solo grocery run quickly turned into a full-blown parking lot meltdown when my car alarm would not stop going off… for 45 minutes. My van completely shut down. My husband’s phone was on silent. I didn’t know a single person in town. And to make matters worse? I hadn’t even memorized our new address yet.

In this episode, I share:

• The chaos of early motherhood with three kids under five
• The vulnerability of moving somewhere new with no support system
• The kindness of a security guard 
• How not all strangers are bad 
• The car saga that continued the next day
• And the powerful reminder that we are always manifesting — whether we realize it or not
  
  

This story could have gone in so many different directions. Instead, it became a lesson in trust, kindness, divine timing, and energy.

Because here’s the truth:
 We are manifesting all the time.

Life brings challenges. We respond with a vibration.
 And depending on the energy we emit, we either attract solutions like a magnet… or repel them like a stinky skunk.

This episode is your reminder to:
 ✨ Stay grounded in trust
 ✨ Believe you are protected
 ✨ Choose energy that magnetizes solutions
 ✨ And remember — even in chaos, you are guided

If you’ve ever been the default parent, taken a late-night solo Target or Walmart run, or experienced a “this could have gone very differently” moment… this one will hit home.

Have you been thinking about starting a podcast… but keep overthinking it?

In this episode of Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana, I’m sharing exactly how I went from idea to launch in just six days — without fancy equipment, without a tech background, and without waiting for perfect.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• How do I start a podcast?
• Do I need expensive equipment?
• What apps do I use?
• What if I’m not tech-savvy?
• What if I’m not “ready”?

This episode is for you.

I break down how I hired support, got crystal clear on my goal, and launched my podcast in less than a week using simple tools like:

• Voice Memo app
• Descript for editing
• Buzzsprout for hosting
• Canva for cover art

No fancy mic.
 No perfection.
 Just action.

We’re talking about:
 ✨ Why your “why” matters before you buy anything
 ✨ Why messy action beats overwhelm
 ✨ How podcasting helped me find my voice
 ✨ What actually makes a great podcast guest
 ✨ Why consistency matters more than perfection
 ✨ And why the world is waiting to hear your voice

If you feel the nudge to start a podcast, this is your sign.

You don’t need a degree.
 You don’t need expensive gear.
 You don’t need to be perfect.

Even C’s get degrees — and podcasts get launched.

🎙️ Your first step? Record something in your Voice Memo app. That’s it.

If this episode inspired you, share it with a friend who’s been talking about starting a podcast. And if you decide to launch one, tell me — I want to listen and cheer you on!

If you loved this episode, please scroll down and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. It helps more than you know and takes less than 30 seconds.

Remember:
 It’s more important to get your voice out there than to stay stuck in overwhelm.

You are amazing. You are loved. You’ve got this.

In this Manifesting Mondays episode, Shabana shares a heartfelt real-life story about her daughter Jasmine and a dream she carried for years—to ride horses.

From early childhood curiosity and missed opportunities, to pandemic pauses and unexpected conversations, this episode is a powerful reminder that manifestation doesn’t always happen instantly. Sometimes it unfolds quietly, patiently, and exactly when the timing is right.

What started as a simple end-of-the-year baseball pizza party turned into a life-changing moment, proving that when we stay open, the right people and opportunities can appear in the most unexpected places.

Shabana also reflects on how healing and therapy don’t always look traditional. Through conversations with guests Katja and Kimberly Katherine, she explores how connection, nature, and horses can regulate the nervous system and support emotional well-being—especially for children.

This episode is an invitation to trust the process, release control, and believe that what’s meant for you will always find its way.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Kids as natural manifestors
  
  
• How patience plays a role in manifestation
  
  
• Staying open to unexpected opportunities
  
  
• When the right people appear at the right time
  
  
• Healing through nature, animals, and connection
  
  
• Why therapy doesn’t always look the same

✨ Mantra from this episode:

I trust the timing of my life.
 What is meant for me will not miss me.
 I stay open to unexpected opportunities.

Thank you for listening to Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana.
 If this episode resonated, take it as a sign—something beautiful may be unfolding behind the scenes.

Stay open. Stay trusting.
 And remember… you’ve got this. ✨

In this deeply honest and soul-expanding episode, Shabana sits down with Kimberly Katherine, host of The Light Keeper’s Path, healer, Reiki Master, and life coach, for a powerful conversation about healing, intuition, resilience, and reclaiming your true self.

Kimberly shares her life story with openness and grace — from childhood memories and spirituality, to chronic illness, divorce, and ultimately choosing herself after years of living in survival mode. This episode is filled with wisdom, compassion, and reminders that healing is never linear — but it is always possible. In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Kimberly’s upbringing and early intuitive tendencies
• Growing up Catholic, spiritual confusion, and reclaiming faith on her own terms
• Becoming a Reiki Master and discovering energy healing
• A life-altering car accident and being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
• Navigating chronic illness while raising a family
• Leaving a long-term, toxic marriage and finding the courage to start over
• Listening to your body as a guide
• EFT tapping, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation
• Running, movement, and returning to self
• Spirit guides, intuition, and listening to the whispers
• Mediumship, angelic realms, and higher guidance
• Coaching through life transitions, illness, divorce, and parenthood
• Why healing is messy, personal, and non-linear
• The “perfume smells different on everyone” analogy for healing and wellness
• Heart coherence and the healing power of horses
• Why choosing yourself is the first step to transformation

Key Takeaways:

• Healing starts with decision and commitment
• What works for one person may not work for another — trust your own path
• Support systems matter, but self-trust matters most
• Intuition speaks quietly — learn to listen
• You are not broken, you are becoming

Golden Nugget:

Decide. Choose yourself. Find the support that meets you where you are, and know that healing doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be honest.

 In this special bonus episode, recorded earlier in January and released as winter begins to soften, Shabana and her friends invite you to slow down, release guilt, and embrace the season of winter exactly as it is.

This episode centers around the concept of Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) — a Nordic way of living that honors coziness, presence, warmth, connection, and intentional rest. Together with Christine and Kelly, you are led through a thoughtful, heart-centered conversation about allowing winter to be a season of flow rather than pressure.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What Hygge really means and how it can shift your relationship with winter
• Letting go of the need to rush, hustle, or “fix” yourself in January
• Why slowing down is not laziness — it’s wisdom
• The power of thoughts and how they shape our energy, emotions, and actions
• Creating cozy rituals through lighting, scent, movement, and comfort
• Engaging the five senses to feel more grounded and supported
• Choosing peaceful productivity instead of constant urgency
• Allowing joy, rest, and small pleasures without guilt

Cozy Winter Themes Discussed:

• Soft lighting, candles, blankets, robes, and warm drinks
• Saunas, baths, and intentional self-care
• Reading, hobbies, creative outlets, and learning
• Movement that fits the season (gentle workouts, walking, yoga)
• Decluttering, nesting, and honoring your natural rhythms

This episode also highlights the importance of intentional community — gathering, sharing energy, slowing down together, and remembering that life was never meant to be lived alone. From monthly Reiki shares to friendships that shift with the seasons, this conversation reminds us that connection looks different in winter — and that’s okay.

As winter continues, ask yourself:

• What do I need more of right now — rest, connection, creativity, or comfort?
• What is one small change I can make to feel more cozy and supported this week and how can I allow it instead of force?

This episode is an invitation to choose softness, presence, and compassion for yourself — just for this season.
