The luck coach

An Imperfect podcast for bold humans tired of pretending. What if being imperfect was the most powerful thing about you? In a world that praises perfection, filters, and flawless success stories, Imperfect is a rebellion. A homecoming. A deep breath. This is not another personal development podcast telling you how to fix yourself. This is about being fully yourself — messy, brilliant, unfinished, and real.

And maybe that’s the point. Every 2 weeks, I sit down with inspiring humans — artists, leaders, creators, misfits — people who are brave enough to tell the truth: They don’t have it all figured out either. Together, we explore what it means to live boldly without losing your soul. We talk about self-worth, ambition, shame, money, identity, creativity, inner conflict, relationships — and all the messy stuff we usually hide. 💬 Come for the honest conversations. 💥 Stay for the unfiltered insight. ❤️ Leave feeling alive. This podcast is for you if you’ve ever felt like: -You’re not enough, or maybe too much -You’re tired of playing roles and ready to be real -You want to grow, lead, create — without abandoning yourself -You’re successful on paper, but something deeper is calling Welcome to I'mperfect. You don’t need to be perfect to live fully. You just need to be true.

    What If Being "Too Emotional" Is Actually Your Superpower?

    In this special episode of The I'mperfect Podcast, I sit down with someone I know better than anyone — my wife, Asma. A graphic designer, philosopher, and spiritual healer, Asma opens up about the imperfection she wrestles with the most: the intensity of her emotions, and her lifelong journey to understand rather than control them. We talk about what it means to live on "your own timing" in a world obsessed with speed, how she let go of attachment and inherited expectations to find her real self, and how that shift ended up deepening — not weakening — her family relationships. She shares how she moves through her lowest moments, what she used to hide to appear "perfect," and what she wishes for Lebanon, the country that shaped her. It's one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on this show — not because we prepared for it, but because we didn't. In this episode: Why understanding emotions matters more than controlling themLiving on your own timing in a world that rewards speedLetting go of attachment, belonging, and inherited "perfection"How self-work reshapes family relationshipsWhat sexy, sanity, and love really mean to herA message to Lebanon🎧 Follow The I'mperfect Podcast on YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. 💬 Know someone with an imperfection worth talking about?
