Oh, Freya. The story. The low down. Let’s start from the beginning. I was given an Arabic name as a baby and as far as I can remember, it’s always caused me pain. My name isn’t the easiest to pronounce when you see it written down. My birth name is Tahera. In Arabic it means pure. The proper way to pronounce it is Taa-heh-raa. Most people would say Ta-herra and it would drive me nuts. I was …
Ever been the first one with your hand up when someone else wants or needs something? Ever proactively thought of ways to support others or bring them something nice when they’re not feeling their best? Or even go to their favorite restaurant or watch their fave movie with them because you love and care about them so much and just love to see them happy? Did you answer yes to one or more of those questions? Yeah, …
We’ve all had those days where, no matter what we do, or who we talk to we feel low and meh. I don’t believe for a second that we’re meant to feel happy and joyful ALL THE TIME yet I know I still try and hold on desperately every time. We’re here to feel it all. And, the most important part is to allow ourselves to feel it all. Well, easier said than done, right? This post …
Truth telling is a scary thing. It’s something, that many of us, including me sometimes, avoid until one day there is just no more running from it. That day has already come for me. These days I’ve found myself unable to hide from my truth, The Truth, with a capital T. After going through another breakup (each one has it’s own gems to teach me), I found myself pissed off. I was angry at myself because …
When it comes to patience, I’m terrible and I’m the first to admit it. Why aren’t we there already? How long did they say we have to wait? They don’t have a table now? But, I’m hungry. And, when will it happen for me? Why hasn’t it happened yet? How long do I have to wait? I have to say that I am getting better with time. What’s my secret? Well, mostly it’s been about understanding the …
This past month, I’ve been immersing myself into my money story. I’ve been shedding my limiting beliefs and stories around it and reading books that I feel will support me in creating masses of abundance. As per my blog post last month, I have been applying myself through every thought, every action, every story and every block. Have I started to see results? BIG TIME. In the last month, money has shown up in ways it never …
I was in a situation. I felt trapped. I hated waking up every day to this. It really sucked. Sucked hard. And, I choose love. I remembered something that Marianne Williamson said from A Course In Miracles which led me to make a very conscious decision to shift my perspective. As long as I was here, I was going to show up. I was going to be the best version of myself. I was going to be …
It’s been a week. A week of ups and downs and then some. What have I learned? Asking for what I need is still uncomfortable for me Asking for what I need makes me feel guilty sometimes I’m learning a new level of self-love and self-care Before anyone can become a game changer, they have to first learn to thrive on discomfort. Peyton Manning That quote really sums it up for me. I have had really uncomfortable feeling …
Being friends with he who shall not be named. He got to me. I felt like I was choking. I couldn’t find my center and I couldn’t breathe. The self-hate talk started almost immediately. I got knocked and rattled and he found a way in. I was listening, this time. I recently found myself in a challenging situation with someone. This person used to be a friend and is no longer. I was triggered by this person, deeply. …
You don’t need more time in your day. You need to decide. Seth Godin Not knowing what to do when faced with a decision can be the worst feeling in the world. For me, it causes all kinds of stress in my body; my mind can’t stop racing, my heart feels heavy, I can’t eat or sleep, I can’t focus on anything, my chest feels tight, and so much more. I want to share how I was able …
I’ve been on a really intentional journey to find out who I am. Who am I? Why does it matter? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do? These are the questions I’ve sat with for a long time. I want answers. And, I want them now. Patience is on my wish list. A really great teacher of Kundalini and one of the most magical souls I look up to, Sat Siri, told me once, …
