On my personal facebook feed, I'd shared about an experience I had, swimming with wild dolphins in Kona, Hawaii when I was 8 months pregnant with my first baby. One of my clients who read that post said to me, "You need to share more about this story!"

So I decided to record a podcast episode about how I was guided to the avenue of having a home birth with the help of an independent midwife and doula.

In this episode, Nadhira shares the power of the statement "I don't know" and being in a surrendered state when you're faced with obstacles.

How my own intuition spoke to me. What does that voice sound like? How do you discern that voice from the voice of your mind?

How guidance comes in the form of breadcrumbs - one little bit at the time. When you put the puzzle pieces together, one bit at a time, you get to see Allah swt's Generosity and how much support you have available when you have faith and trust in the process and that life is unfolding for you even if it seems like you're facing dead-ends.

We briefly touched on stress and the body vs the body being in a state of relaxation and how home births gift you the opportunity to have a lot more control over your environment.

What do you do when everything's settled, your coasting and then you feel an itch? Naina Ramnani, ICF ACC certified Purpose & Empowerment Coach discusses expat life in Dubai from the lens of "Your Truth is Calling".

Naina was born and brought up in Spain to Indian parents, studied in the UK and is now living in the UAE with her family. She started off her professional career as a stock trader, later as an entrepreneur and after a lot of deliberate and not so deliberate pauses, has found her purpose as a life coach.

We discussed expat life in Dubai - after finding a home and getting the kids settled in school, life was basically filled with moments of "living in the car", transport to and from school, kids activities, dinner, bath time, bed time. Being a busy mum in that environment looked like, "Waiting for the weekend" as everyone was busy doing things on auto pilot. We also discussed reaching forks in the road where Naina and her husband decided to close down a business they were passionate about but had to re-assess if they would continue during the pandemic. We looked at moments in her story where she had inkling and gut hit of what she might like to do with her life and decided to not pursue it. We explored those moments of "what if" , "what if I changed tracks and pursued this instead?"

Naina also shared the journey of being a carer to her late mum who passed away in the (European) Summer of 2023 and her advice to anyone finding themselves in a carer role.

Zulfiye, an Australian Muslim woman of Turkish and African heritage talks about how she made her transition to leaving behind her career as a community pharmacist to pursue a career in fashion. This led to her creation of 'Mod Markit', a platform for people to buy and sell modest fashion, that was acknowledged internationally and featured as part of Melbourne Fashion week. Zulfiye started roller skating to pass time during COVID lockdowns, and this quickly transitioned from a hobby into a lifestyle as she attracted collaborations with International brands like Pepsi, TikTok, Spotify and Meta.

In this conversation we explored how Zulfiye finds herself as a grassroots community organiser - we discuss her latest project - Half Way There - which creates unique networking events mindfully designed for single muslims living in Australia. Zulfiye discussed how she brings her ideas to life and the emotional terrain she navigates to put her creations out on social media and the attitude to adopt when starting something new.

Nadhira Razack, life & business coach talks about how the events unfolding at present in the middle east has brought up flashbacks of events in the past of being a scapegoat.

She shares how the process of getting clear on what it is you desire and also getting present to what is deeply uncomfortable , gives you the fuel to make a shift and gives you momentum to go in a different direction so you can pivot and experience the beauty and satisfaction that comes from following your knowing. Doing this process with a coach can give you direction, so quickly because you need that time to take a sacred pause to figure this out.

How getting rid of toxicity in your environment can also help in getting rid of the negative influences in your life, to go towards what has more life and more satisfaction.
