    Applied Learning

    Applied Learning

    Through my own journey from acquiring knowledge to applying it meaningfully, this episode tell you about how to become an 'implementationalist', where every theory learned becomes a lived practice . 

    I describe the stages of applied learning, from the initial spark of awareness to the resilience required in the face of challenges, all while sharing practical strategies for organizing your life and thoughts for lasting change.

    I talk about how to use applied learning for self-regulation and body awareness. With guidance and reflection, learn how to interpret your body's signals as insights into personal growth, and how prayer can serve as a powerful tool for seeking wisdom, courage, and the fortitude to apply your knowledge every day.

    Denial of People Pleasing

    Denial of People Pleasing

    Have you ever caught yourself saying yes when every fiber of your being screamed no? It's a trap many of us fall into, prioritizing the happiness of others at the expense of our own. 

    The reason our people pleasing traits remain hidden from us, is because we mask them as good qualities. 

    What are these qualities? 

    In this podcast we identify 10 such positive personality traits that sound really honorable on the surface but are actually harming you if they are covering up your people pleasing tendencies. These are the signals that indicate when you are overshooting the mark of generosity, leading to  your own needs being undervalued.

    Empowerment takes center stage as we explore the unique journey of the Muslim woman in reclaiming her sense of self. Today, we're not just peering into the psychology of people-pleasing; we're also offering a lifeline to those ready to make a change. Tune in as we talk about the importance of choice, the strength found in embracing change, and how to serve others without losing ourselves.

    Spiritual Bypassing

    Spiritual Bypassing

    There are people out there that teach you to hide your emotional pain under religious teachings. This is Spiritual bypassing. 

    My own encounter with this profound misconception opened a path to deeper understanding, which I'm thrilled to share with you. This episode uncovers the often-overlooked concept of spiritual bypassing within the Islamic faith. I walk you through personal stories and those of my clients, as we confront how uninformed individuals can use our faith against our wellbeing. 

    Faith in Allah is the HALLMARK of authentic growth and emotional repair. 

    This heartfelt dialogue underscores the necessity of a nuanced approach to personal development, steering clear of the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing that lead us astray, even under the noble guise of religious teachings.

    As our conversation draws to a close, we reaffirm our conscious commitment to Islam, not as an escape but as a foundation of support through life's trials.

Eye opener or I must say brain opener!!

Every time I listen to the episode, I learn something new. I love how Kanwal explains different perspective, the different way of handling a circumstance and a whole new approach. The way she uses real life examples (“Joy” episode) to explain scenarios and emotions, is wonderful!! After listening to this podcast and taking live coaching sessions with Kanwal, I have been able to stop myself from unhelpful habits and replace them with healthy alternatives. I highly recommend listening to this podcast!!

These have been an eye opener.

Absolutely love listening to Kanwal’s podcasts. The way she breaks down concepts and provides relatable examples, makes it very easy and realistic to follow and apply. The duration of each podcast is perfect for my attention span ;) Each of these is packed with a lot knowledge. I have listened to some of the episodes a few times to process every sentence and have always learned a new aspect of the topic every time. She’s a wonderful speaker, very captivating. Eloquent yet very realistic and clear. Her vision for today’s Muslim women is admirable.
