Mohamed Fadel

Sharing one’s story is a beautiful thing. A lot of people go through their lives with their stories untold, known and heard only by a small handful of people. On: becoming changes that. on: becoming is for people like you, me, and the very next person who’s going through life, experiencing its highs and lows. The point is to dive into the reality of becoming. To answer the question of how do we “become,” where are we in our process, and outline how that journey looks like for every individual across all different walks of life.

    الخوف من كلام الناس | Fear of judgement

    A lot of our life is decided because of fear. And one of the biggest fears controlling the lives of so many of us is the fear of other people's opinions. What will people say? How will they perceive me? "I don't want to look bad." Do you ever find yourself stopping yourself from doing something you want because you're worried of what your friends might say? Do you stop yourself from going after something you've been dreaming of because you don't want others to talk about you behind your back? If you're anything like me, then you probably do/did that at some point in your life. And its consequences are detrimental. It can hold you back and stop you from becoming the person you're meant to be. It can keep you from discovering your full potential and being all that you're supposed to be and more. If you're anything like me, if you fear judgement, then this episode is for you. Thanks for listening—please don't forget to follow!

    Perfectionism — محاولة إني أبقى كامل

    Perfectionism is both a blessing and a curse. It's usually the latter though when we don't know how to use it to our advantage. It often holds us back and keeps us from creating the life we deserve. It stops us from acting - from moving forward. In this episode, I talk about perfectionism as a whole and I reflect on my own challenges with it from a young age. I go through how I still struggle with it today—but how I've learned to work with it and use it to my advantage, instead of allowing it to control me. If you also struggle with perfectionism, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening—don't forget to follow the podcast!
