Sun Still Rising: Poetry For Overcoming Shame | Noor Pinna

Stories of Astonishing Light with KJ Nasrul

It's another SOAL Special featuring an Astonishing #WOCHealer! Ms. Noor Pinna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and transformative mindset coach. She helps women break free from the barriers of shame, emboldening them to advocate for themselves and their communities, and to embody resiliency.

Noor guides women to celebrate deeply nourishing self-care rituals byway of designing healthy boundaries and reframing any cognitive dissonances. She has administered mental health services internationally, notably in the support of Afghan women.

KJ and Noor, instant kindreds, dive into charged topics including the cost of shame, our discomfort in honoring our accomplishments, and the curious and glorious bravery of what is deemed the “ Midnight Brain".
The episode opens with Noor’s reading of her own exquisite composition, a poem that garnered the attention of Ted Talk organizers, and led to an invitation to share her musings on Shame Resilience from the massive TedX stage. Noor is in the process of publishing her first book, The Sun Still Rises.
