My name is Mubarakah (Pronounced moo-BA-ra-ka) and I am a health and happiness coach who empower women live healthier, happier lives with the philosophy that "Physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing is intertwined. The weakness of one weakens them all and the strengthening of one strengthens them all."
Many people recognize me as the "Muslim trainer" that was featured of Oprah several years ago. At 30 years old I was put in a position to sit in front of 30 million people and represent not just who I was but a billion other Muslim women around the world. What most people don't know about me was at the time I had very low self-esteem. But when the cameras came on I had to fake it. For years after that appearance through dozens of speaking events and interviews I felt like a fraud. Despite the awards, the accolades (including having dinner with President Barack Obama) and hundred of thousands social media followers I felt like I was leading a double life.
It took a cancer scare, years of working with my own coaches and lots of internal work for me to get to the point where I gather the courage to close my fitness studio, go back to school and pursue the goals that I had put off and the dreams I had buried behind the roles that were "expected" of me.
Making those life-changing decisions would have never been possible without the confidence and courage to trust in myself and my ability to become the best version of myself.
I know this is possible for you, too! I created Shine Confidence Coaching as an online group coaching course to walk women through exact the same process that helped me walk into my purpose with courage and confidence.
There are so many amazing Muslim women out there who don’t realize their true value and strengths. They don’t have the confidence to speak up or make the decisions that will change their lives for the better. They are feeling a void in their prayers or even numb to their Islam. They are stuck in unfulfilling or even toxic relationships or don’t have a partner at all because of painful past experiences. They are staying in unfulfilling jobs they just do for the money because they can’t think of any better options and are scared of a possible move and an uncertain future.
It’s time to take life into your hands, and create a life you love – with more happiness, freedom, success and fulfillment.
