SAE Empower Coaching

A late Eid post, but it’s something I have been reflecting on for a few days…

This Eid, I felt lighter in many ways.
Not because everything is perfect.
But because recently, I realised something had shifted.

On Eid, I was filming a fun transition video with my son. .murtaza Later, when I watched it back, I noticed something I hadn’t seen in myself for a long time.
There was a spark in me.
A joy in my eyes.
A lightness that I hadn’t felt for a while.
And for the first time in a long time, I could see a woman who felt at home in herself again.
After everything my body has been through over the last year, that felt huge….

There have been so many moments after surgery when I didn’t feel like myself.
Moments where I felt disconnected from my body.
Moments where I wondered if I would ever feel like myself again….

But somewhere along the way, I’ve turned a corner.
Not because my body is where I want it to be.
It isn’t. Not even close.
But because I’ve stopped measuring my confidence by how close I am to some finish line.

Instead, I’ve started appreciating what my body has carried me through.
I’ve started honouring it.
Trusting it.
Working with it instead of against it.

And today, I feel proud.
I feel confident.
I feel at home in myself.
And I feel deeply grateful for the woman I am becoming.

That feels worth celebrating.
So this Eid, I’m celebrating more than the day.
I’m celebrating healing.
I’m celebrating growth.
I’m celebrating resilience.
And I’m celebrating the woman I’m becoming through it all.

Because sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t changing your body.
It’s finally feeling at home inside a changing body.

✨ Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating.

And if you’re in a season of rebuilding your health, confidence, identity or relationship with your body, know that it’s possible to find your way back to yourself too.

If you’d like support on that journey, there is a few ways you can work with me in June.

DM with the word ‘EMPOWER’ and let’s get started.

Eid Mubarak my loves 💛

Stay hydrated in this heatwave. 🔥Share the load, you don’t have to do it all, it’s your Eid too. Remember those who are less fortunate than us in your Duas 🤲🏼 😘

A couple of months from now, I turn 50.

And if there’s one thing I wish I understood at 30, it’s this:

confidence and identity don’t just magically stay strong.

You have to keep coming back to yourself.

Because life will change you.

Trauma.
Marriage.
Motherhood.
Illness.
Menopause.
Surgery.
Ageing.
Grief.
The seasons you never saw coming…..

And every time life shifts, you have a choice.

You can keep trying to squeeze yourself back into an old version of who you were…

or you can start learning how to meet the woman you are becoming.

That’s the part so many women struggle with.

We give so much of ourselves away.
We worry about what everyone thinks.
We speak to ourselves harshly.
We put ourselves last.
We call self-sacrifice love.

And then one day we look in the mirror and think…

“Where did I go?”

I know that feeling.

And I know what it takes to come back from it.

Not because it’s easy.

But because I’ve had to do it again and again in different seasons of my life.

So if you’re in that place right now, feeling disconnected from yourself, not recognising the women in the mirror, low in confidence, unsure who you are anymore, or like your body doesn’t feel like home…

I want you to know this:

You don’t have to stay there….

This is the work I live.
This is the work I teach.
And this is the work I help women walk through inside my coaching and inside
The Empower Circle.

Because confidence isn’t just about how you look.

It’s about how you see yourself.
How you speak to yourself.
How you invest in yourself.
And whether you’re willing to stop abandoning yourself in your own life.

The Empower Circle is now open, a free community for women who are ready to start coming back to themselves, gently, honestly and alongside other women doing the same.

If you’d like to join us, DM me CIRCLE ❤️

And I’d love to know…

Which one hit you the hardest? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6?

What a beautiful day ❤️

I had the honour of being one of the speakers at The Modest Collective and honestly, the atmosphere was something really special.

A room full of women connecting, supporting one another, sharing conversations, laughing, shopping, eating incredible food, relaxing, learning and simply enjoying being together.

And you could genuinely feel the sense of sisterhood and community in the room.

In a world where so many women are carrying so much behind the scenes, spaces like this matter more than ever.

Not just because of the beautiful setup, the shopping, the food, desserts, photo booth, IV drips and all the thoughtful details…

But because of how women felt in that space.

Seen.
Safe.
Empowered.
Connected.

Huge credit to the amazing women behind it all, Riz, Aysha and their incredible team. Girls you absolutely smashed it out of the park with this inaugural event.

To all the speakers - I was blown away with all the gems that were dropping.

So grateful I got to be part of it and already excited to see what they continue building from here!



Thank you for my beautiful gift.

I’m really looking forward to being part of this beautiful event on this Saturday!

I think spaces like this are so important.

Spaces where women can come together to have honest conversations, share experiences, connect, reflect, learn from one another and leave feeling inspired, empowered and less alone.

I’ll be joining an incredible lineup of women from different backgrounds, industries and experiences, each bringing their own voice, wisdom and story to the conversation.

And honestly, I think community and meaningful connection matter now more than ever.

Really looking forward to being part of these conversations and connecting with all you beautiful women there 💛
