What if hitting rock bottom was the best thing that ever happened to you? What would you do if you lost everything that supposedly 'defined' you?
Today we're chatting with the ever-inspiring Shazia Imam: Award-Winning Speaker, ICF Certified Professional Coach, and host of the Top 12 Podcast - Feminine & Fulfilled. After facing devastating personal losses, Shazia shares how she learned to surrender to the divine push leading her to live her REAL life. She provides a riveting account of the pressure to maintain the "perfect-on-paper" persona, the hidden power of letting go, and the magic of embodying your true essence.
This episode is a masterclass on self-worth, feminine power, and how to pivot when life falls apart. We explore actionable strategies for aligning your actions with your authentic self, how to create abundance and self-worth, and the importance of taking small steps toward big dreams -- even before we feel "ready". This raw conversation takes us to the edge of despair and then lifts us up, teaching us how to surrender, recalibrate, and emerge stronger than ever.
