The I'mperfect Podcast

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. I’m Ziad — communicator, creator, coach, dreamer, human. And for two years, I waited to start this podcast… because I wanted it to be perfect. Now I’m starting it as I am — imperfect. 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.

    Spiritual People Aren't as Healed as They Look

    What happens when the person teaching others to heal has spent years fighting her own body? In this episode, Coniglio — a healer and member of the Damanhur spiritual community in Italy — opens up about a brutal, non-linear journey through anorexia, then obesity, then a life-changing gastric sleeve surgery that removed 80% of her stomach. She talks candidly about guilt, shame, “directing” her own health project instead of waiting to be fixed, and what it actually means to be a healer (hint: it’s not about having the answers). We also get into distinguishing true intuition from the noise of the mind, why spirituality is about questions and religion is about answers, and she closes by walking us through a live breathing exercise anyone can try right now. Content of this episode: Her 18-month journey losing 40kg — and why she says obesity is biology, not a character flawThe gastric sleeve surgery that removed 80% of her stomach, six months agoGoing from feeling guilty and “not enough” to becoming the “director” of her own health projectWhat a healer actually is — and why it’s not about fixing peopleHow to tell the difference between your mind and your true intuitionSpirituality vs. religion: living in the questions instead of the answersA live guided breathing exercise (pranic breathing) to try along with her Useful links: https://www.instagram.com/coniglio.pangea/ https://members.damanhur.academy/damanhur-spiritual-healers-school https://members.damanhur.academy/damanhur-dream-school #ImperfectPodcast #TheLuckCoach #HealingJourney #WeightLossJourney #Damanhur #Spirituality #SelfHealing #MindBodyConnection #Intuition #BreathingTechniques #GastricSleeve #BodyImage #Vulnerability #PersonalGrowth #HolisticHealing

    Stop Trying to Fix Yourself. You're Already a Piece of God

    She got a Parkinson's diagnosis. Most people would call that the end of something. She calls it the moment she finally started waking up. This is not a podcast about fighting a disease. It's about what happens when your body forces you to stop performing and start listening. In this episode, Gazzella Mimosa sits down with Ziad for a raw conversation about the parts of us we're taught to hide — the fear behind every "yes" we don't mean, the guilt behind every "no" we're too scared to say, and the strange gift hiding inside a diagnosis nobody would choose. We talk about vulnerability as strength, not weakness. About why the world praises masculine hustle and forgets the power of softness. And about what it actually takes to stop asking everyone else for permission to be yourself. 🎙️ In this episode: Living with a Parkinson's diagnosis — and choosing to grow from it Why we carry so many different "parts" inside us, and who should really be driving The power of yes vs. the power of no Turning vulnerability into your greatest strength A 5-minute breathing practice to find calm when everything feels like too much Why the world may be shifting — and what that means for you 💬 One line that might stay with you: "Our fragility is not only fragility. It's also strength."

    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?

    What happens when the "perfect mom" starts asking: What about me? In this episode of The I'mperfect Podcast, I sit down with Fatima, a mother, artist, coach, and healer with Saudi and Italian roots, for a deeply honest conversation about perfectionism, motherhood, people-pleasing, loneliness, self-discovery, and learning to live authentically.

In this conversation, we explore: ✨ The hidden cost of perfectionism ✨ Motherhood, guilt, and self-care ✨ Why people-pleasing can become a trap ✨ Learning to be alone and finding strength within ✨ The healing power of art and creativity ✨ Letting go of validation and embracing authenticity ✨ What it means to be "perfectly imperfect" If you've ever felt torn between who you are and who the world expects you to be, this episode is for you. 🎙️ The Imperfect Podcast is a space for honest conversations about the imperfections that make us human. 📌 Subscribe for more authentic stories and meaningful conversations. #TheImperfectPodcast #SelfDiscovery #Authenticity #Perfectionism #Motherhood #Healing #PersonalGrowth #PeoplePleasing #Mindfulness #InnerPeace #Podcast #MentalHealth #ArtistJourney

    What happens when you're the person everyone can rely on? In this episode of the I'mperfect Podcast, I sit down with Yetunde Oshodi Fraudeau, entrepreneur, mother, traveler, and founder of Let's Eat The World, for a deeply honest conversation about overwhelm, perfectionism, resilience, and the challenge of carrying too much.
