Join me for my last workshop of 2020!🌟It’s de

Join me for my last workshop of 2020!🌟It’s definitely been a crazy year indeed. With all that’s happened this year, our whole lives have turned upside down and we’ve been forced to deal with so much disruption and uncertainty in our lives.

With the plans we had not being able to materialise, it’s resulted in us feeling lost, and with us having to rapidly adjust to the ‘new norm.’ We’ve had to undergo difficult transitions, which has led us to feel out of balance.

The relationship we have with ourselves is everything, as it sets the foundation for everything else in our lives. The thoughts we have, our daily habits and the environment we’re in all play a huge part in the outcomes that occur in our lives. We need to nurture the relationship we have with ourselves and create a lifestyle that enables us to plant the seeds for all the wonderful things that we want in our life to grow.

When you’re continuously outside of yourself, it often feels like something is off. You can keep trying, keep pushing but you don’t get the results you want. When you’re not in alignment, you’re not vibrating on the same frequency as the things and people that you want to attract into your life and everything becomes a struggle.

Join me on December 1st for a huge declutter of what hasn’t been serving you this year, I’ll be teaching you how to connect with your authentic self on a daily basis, and how to set intentions that align with who you are so that you can truly step into your power in 2021 with ease.

It will be a 2 hour workshop followed by a 30 minute Q & A/discussion.

📅Date: Tuesday December 1st
⏰Time: 20-22.30 (UAE)/ 19-21.30 (AST)/16.00-18.30 (UK).
💻Location: Zoom
🛍Investment: $47

“I decided to join Women who Flourish because I’d been to Coach Aliya’s events and loved all of them! When I found out she was starting this platform for women, I was so excited.

I also love the idea of being part of a group of women supporting and motivating each other.

As a result of joining Women who Flourish, I’ve been able to enjoy more “me time.” Our calls and group events feel like a kind of self-care. I leave the calls/events feeling rejuvenated! I’ve learned how important it is, no matter how busy we are, to focus on ourselves and our energy.

Women who Flourish is amazing! There’s just something so beautiful about women cheering each other on and sharing their experiences and journeys. Absolutely love this platform!”

We have so much happening in the club next month to prepare our members to go into the new year feeling truly empowered and confident!

We will have a masterclass delivered by our December guest expert on a topic that has personally changed my life (revealed soon!), a public speaking workshop, group coaching calls and of course, ongoing love and accountability💗

On December 4th I will be closing the doors to join the club until March. If you want to be part of a sisterhood of women who are committed to personal growth, achieving their goals and supporting each other along the way, get in touch🌟

Girls compete with one another. Women empower each

Girls compete with one another. Women empower each other.

I truly believe that there is enough in the world for all of us. Enough success, enough money, enough love, enough business. We need to stop thinking with this scarcity mindset that one woman’s success is taking away from us because it’s not. Everyone has a story. I don’t know if there’s one person who hasn’t experienced challenges in their life whether it’s with family, health, finance, relationships, career. We all have. They just may not be the same as your problems and so it might be easy to think that they don’t have any. Yeah, you may look at a woman and think it’s unfair that she’s in a great relationship now, but maybe it took a series of heartbreaks for her to finally be in a great one. Yes that other woman is working in her dream career but do you know how many times she was rejected before she got there? How many times she failed and picked herself up to get to where she is now? By recognising this, we’ll be able to look at each other as inspiration rather than as competition or in a way that will cause you to feel worse about yourself.

Unfortunately countless research shows how much women are unsupportive of each other, especially in the workplace with research showing that 70% of female executives feeling as though they’ve been bullied by other women in their workplaces and that these bullying incidences have stunted their professional growth.

I believe that as women we are SO much stronger and powerful when we support each other, and there are so many studies which back this up. There is always going to be someone out there who you believe is prettier than you, has nicer hair, has a nicer body, is smarter, more popular but that doesn’t mean that you are not amazing and that you don’t possess unique qualities too. Let’s grow, let’s build and let’s support other women along the way as well. If you have the chance to help another woman succeed, do it. Notice how great it feels.

Support other women and notice how supported and empowered you also begin to feel as a result.

Tag a woman who you think is amazing and are grateful to have in your life ❤️

On last night’s group coaching call, I was shari

On last night’s group coaching call, I was sharing with stories our @women_who_flourish members about my confidence journey and how before running my first corporate workshop, my hands were shaking so much with nerves. So much so that I was so annoyed with myself for deciding to drive that morning!

I had spoken so many times before and run my own events but this was something new and a step up for me in my business and so I was REALLY out of my comfort zone.

However, over the years I have created a ‘confidence toolkit’ for myself, which includes practises that I carry out of it when the overthinking, negative self-talk and stress start to kick in.

There are so many gems that I have in my toolkit, but in that moment I pulled out four of them. What I did during that time was
1. Find a quiet space to do some deep breathing
2. Power pose for grounding and to help me feel calm
3. I then went to the bathroom and gave myself an inssaaanely motivating pep talk in the mirror- literally like ‘YOU’VE GOT THIS, YAASS.* 💃🏻I mean it sounds crazy, but I’m telling you it is POWERFUL.
4. I then visualised the event going successfully and then I walked into the room feeling SO confident in myself and my abilities.

The feedback I received was incredibly positive and they even shared how they insightful and ‘fun’ the session was (let’s be honest, I definitely couldn’t have made the workshop fun if I was a bag of nerves), and it feels 100x better when you actually ENJOY your experiences as opposed to rushing through them and counting down the seconds until it’s over.

Confidence doesn’t happen by accident. Self-confidence happens as a result of small, purposeful, consistent actions that you carry out over time until it becomes so natural and a part of who you are.

What’s in your confidence toolkit?

This was back in 2016 when I was still working in my Public Health career and living in London.

As you can imagine, I absolutely FREAKED OUT. Why me? I’m not ready! Can’t they choose someone else? I’m going to mess it up😭
-
All of the above was going on in my head that Friday afternoon as I used to HATE public speaking. But of course I jumped up and said to our national lead ‘of course I’d love to😅’
-
I reluctantly turned up that Monday and my presentation was a blur. I was nervous, my hands were shaky and I felt sick. But my biggest win was that I SURVIVED (yah I didn’t die). After that I went on to speak again at another event, and then another and another.

Somewhere along the journey I ended up really starting to ENJOY public speaking (can you imagine 😅!) as I felt more comfortable in my own skin and was way less in my own head.

Fast forward a couple of years, organizations were hiring me to come and speak to their teams, and now giving presentations and trainings is something I absolutely LOVE doing as part of my business.

But I never would have known this if I didn’t have the chance to discover that about myself. If you keep yourself hidden away and don’t put yourself forward for opportunities then you’ll never get to find out what you could be great at and how many doors could open for you as a result.

You just have to start somewhere and know that you WILL get better over time.

And the best part is you get to look back and feel so proud of how far you’ve come💕

If you lack self-confidence, you’ll never give y

If you lack self-confidence, you’ll never give yourself what you truly deserve.

Yes, having a great degree, being knowledgable in your field and having the right skills are important but if they are not accompanied by self-belief, you will always be holding yourself back.

Unfortunately being smart or the hardest working person in your team just isn’t enough.

I mean, what use are all of your great ideas if you’re keeping them to yourself? Or maybe you’ve been sharing them with the wrong people and because you weren’t assertive enough, they ended up taking the credit instead.

I know how frustrating it is to have SO much fire inside of you to do so much more but feel too scared to act upon it. I used to be so scared of failing, messing things up, having people judge me and notice my weaknesses.

But what changed everything for me was when I fast forwarded into the future and thought about what I would miss out on in my life if I didn’t change. I realised that my life wasn’t magically going to change unless I was proactive and did something about it.

I realised that I would constantly be overlooked. I wouldn’t experience following my passion and creating something of my own. I wouldn’t have relationships where I felt valued and could openly express how I feel and set boundaries when needed. I would always play small when I have SO much fire inside of me. I realised that I wouldn’t be able to inspire and motivate others if I didn’t share my message. And most of all I would be full of regret.

For me, the fear of regret became so much stronger than the fear of failing and being judged by others. I realised that life was way too short to be caring about things that will seem so irrelevant in a few years time. And this is what drove me to start focusing inwards and really start to build the courage and self-belief to take action towards what I knew I just had to do in my life.

What will you miss out on in your life if you continue to hold yourself back?
