Care Nest: Islamic Life Coaching for Muslim Women

When Mariya* first came to me, she was finding it so hard to be open and vulnerable in her relationship with her family and friends.

But as we worked together, she realized that the relationship affecting all others was the one she had with herself.

As she grew in self-awareness and self-compassion, she was surprised at how everything else started to shift too - and in such a short period of time.

Alhamdulillah for the honor of walking alongside women as they finally reconnect with themselves and Allah.

🤍 If you've been feeling stuck in the same old patterns and you're ready to begin looking inward, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

You can book a free consultation through the website link in my bio.

One of the biggest misconceptions about relationships is that when you’ve found the “right” person, everything will just fall into place.

The reality, however, is that every relationship goes through different stages, so the question isn’t whether or not you’ll face challenges.

It’s whether or not you’re both willing to keep growing through them.

🍂 If this carousel made you realize there are patterns you’d like to change — whether in your relationships, yourself, or your personal connection with Allah ﷻ — you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

I currently have 2 coaching slots available for August.

If you’re ready to invest in your healing and growth, book a free consultation through the link in my bio and let’s explore whether we’re the right fit to work together, insha Allah. 🔗

The good news is that you can learn to protect your peace, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect to yourself and Allah ﷻ — even if the people around you never change. That's the work I do with my clients.

I work with Muslim women to help them overcome the impact of toxic family dynamics, emotional neglect, people-pleasing, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

If you’re ready to come back home to yourself by investing in your healing and growth, let’s have a chat to see if we’ll be a good fit, insha Allah!

Waalaikumussalaam, dear.

I know it’s easier said than done, but allow yourself to sit with the feeling of regret. Try to understand the message its trying to convey about your fears, faith, and aspirations.

At the same time, if you're not at a point where you can be grateful for the lost opportunity, don't be. Don't force yourself to feel what you're not feeling. Sit with your regret, journal about it, or talk about it to a therapist or coach.

Remind yourself that your regret in life can’t possibly be greater than the Sahabi (Harish bin Hisham ra) who had ample opportunity to accept Islam in Makkah, but came to accept Islam after the Conquest of Makkah and regretted that he couldn’t participate in Badr and Uhud.

Or the regret of Prophet Yunus (as) when he left his nation before being granted permission by Allah (swt), and he was reprimanded for it by being swallowed by the whale.

Or the regret of our parents Adam and Hawwa (as) when they ate the fruit of the forbidden tree and were cast down to Earth.

So if you think about it, regret is a very natural, nearly universal human experience. Allow yourself to believe that whatever missed you wasn’t meant for you - even if it feels like you let it slip away through your own actions, in reality it slipped away by the Will, Planning, and Wisdom of Allah ﷻ.

May Allah ﷻ bless you with contentment, peace, and better opportunities than the one you lost. Ameen.

Sometimes the most difficult thing to come to terms with isn't what happened to you — it's the version of yourself you've become because of it.

When you've spent years feeling criticized, dismissed, misunderstood, and had your best intentions doubted, it's easy to lose sight of who you really are.

You begin to see yourself through the labels other people have placed on you instead of the beautiful qualities Allah ﷻ has given you.

And that affects everything: how you show up in your relationships, how you communicate, how you respond to conflict, how you treat yourself, and how you allow yourself to be treated.

One of the greatest privileges of my work is holding space for Muslim women as they finally begin to see themselves differently — through compassion instead of criticism.

🤍 If you've been feeling overwhelmed, lost, and disconnected from yourself and Allah ﷻ, please know that you don't have to navigate this season alone.

Is it permissible if I talk of my sins with a professional counsellor? I have repented from it but need help in moving on. But i also know we must not reveal our sins. Can i do it for the purpose of getting mentally better and to find closure?

Answer:

Excellent question. While it's generally discouraged to reveal our sins to others, there are some exceptions to this rule - one of them is when we’re trying to get help and improve.

Imam Nawawi said. "There is no harm in telling about a sin to one's Shaykh or other person who may be expected to teach one how to desist from the act or refrain from similar acts, or apprise one of the causes that led to it, or pray for one." [Nawawi, Adhkar]

So your intention matters a lot. If you’re revealing details about your past or current struggles with the hope of getting guidance so you can move on in a healthier way, it’s not only permissible - it’s encouraged.

Even the Sahabah used to come to the Prophet (saw), sharing personal details about their lives so they could seek his guidance. They would tell him about their sins, their spiritual struggles, their relationship issues, and even ask openly about “taboo” topics. Sayyidah Ayesha (ra) once said:

“How excellent are the women of the Ansar! They do not allow shyness to prevent them from understanding the religion.” [Sahih Muslim]
