February 18, 2026لماذا يستنزفك لوم الذات؟ وكيف تجعل الالتزام أسهل؟
في هذه الحلقة من يواب نناقش كيفية وضع أهداف واقعية والالتزام بها دون مبالغة في لوم الذات.
فالضغط القاسي على النفس قد يمنح دفعة مؤقتة، لكنه على المدى البعيد يستنزف الطاقة الذهنية ويؤثر في العلاقات وفي جودة الحياة.
ستخرج من هذه الحلقة بثلاث خطوات عملية:
هدف صغير واقعي يمكنك إنجازه خلال يوم أو يومين ثم تطويره تدريجيًا.
قاعدة “لا يومين متتاليين” لتفادي الانقطاع والدخول في دوامة الإحباط.
الفصل بين تقييم الذات وتقييم النظام: “لم أنجح في الأسلوب” لا تعني “أنا فاشل”.

سؤال الحلقة: ما الهدف الذي وضعته لنفسك وشعرت بضغط كبير تجاهه؟ وهل التحدّي فيك أنت أم في النظام الذي تعمل وفقه؟
إذا كنت تعرف شخصًا يبالغ في تأنيب نفسه عند التعثر، شارك معه هذه الحلقة.

February 11, 2026Healing Starts When You Stop Explaining Yourself
Episode Summary
Host Saeed Alghafri explores the exhausting habit of over-explaining and over-justifying small decisions, which often stems from low self-value and a need for validation. Through personal stories—like a colleague's emotional presentations and a CEO losing opportunities to endless consulting he reveals how this "survival strategy" drains energy and blocks healing.
Saeed shares three practical healings to build self-trust, set concise boundaries, and embrace discomfort for stronger leadership and personal growth.
Key Takeaways
Over-explaining tiny things signals you don't value yourself enough—stop turning "no" into a full essay.
Clarity is one sentence; justification is emotional defense—drop the latter to reclaim power.
Stories show: Less explaining leads to more respect, faster decisions, and seized opportunities.
Embrace discomfort: Not everyone will understand your boundaries, and that's normal—leaders are paid to decide.
Trust yourself: Journal doubts with "Would I choose this if no one agreed?" Healing starts inward, not from others' approval.
Awareness first: Reflect on who/what triggers your over-justifying, then act with concise honesty.
Timestamps
1:03 - Recall over-explaining a small action
2:14 - Why it feels like healing but exhausts you
3:35 - It becomes automatic—examples of "no" essays
7:40 - Practical example: Saying no to a colleague
10:04 - Story 1: Colleague's emotional presentations
14:13 - Story 2: CEO over-consulting on opportunities
17:15 - Healing 1: Clarity vs. justification
19:03 - Healing 2: Get comfortable with discomfort
20:22 - Healing 3: Trust yourself, don't rush reactions
21:30 - Reflection questions & awareness action
You owe no one an explanation for your healing, boundaries, or growth—stop defending to those who won't understand. Share this episode to help someone thrive. Stay true!

February 04, 2026Why Leaders Need Fewer Opinions—and Better Judgment

Perfect for leaders tired of endless meetings and stalled momentum.

Key Takeaways
More opinions often create confusion and kill decision ownership—leaders are paid to judge and act fast.
Filter advice strategically: Focus on relevant experts, not loudest voices or family repeat-consults.
Structure asks clearly (e.g., "What risks? How does success look?") to get quality input, not noise.
Don't delay: Own the call, seek quick alignment if needed, then review and adjust—no ego in pivots.
