Send us Fan MailMost people coach the surface level problems…They focus on productivity while ignoring burnout, confidence while ignoring fear, or discipline while ignoring the emotional weight a person is carrying underneath it all.That’s why so many people stay stuck in the same cycle even after advice, courses, and motivation.Real transformation begins when someone finally feels seen as a whole person.Inside Adwam, students learn how to coach through a holistic Islamic framework that looks at purpose, emotional patterns, faith, relationships, mindset, and the deeper factors shaping a person’s behavior.Because people rarely struggle from one isolated problem, and powerful coaches learn how to guide others beneath the surface instead of staying trapped at it.That’s where real change starts happening.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailThe Coaching Skill Most People Skip | Effective Communication Ft. Razia HamidiDescription: A coach can have the right advice, powerful frameworks, and sincere intentions… yet still fail to create change because they never learned how to truly communicate.In this powerful session, Razia Hamidi breaks down the foundations of effective communication and why it matters far beyond coaching sessions.You’ll learn:- Why tone, body language, and energy shape every conversation- How to listen in a way that makes people feel deeply understood- The difference between empathy and sympathy- How honest communication creates real growth- Why vague conversations keep people stuck- Practical ways to guide people toward reflection instead of venting- How to help someone move from insight into actionThrough real coaching examples, relationship dynamics, and mindset shifts, Ustadha Razia shares practical communication skills that help people feel heard, understood, and supported while still being challenged toward growth.Whether you’re a coach, teacher, parent, leader, or someone trying to improve your relationships, this session will help you communicate with more clarity, confidence, and impact.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailWorking more will not raise your worth...You’ve been taught since school that staying busy proves you matter, so your day fills up and your mind keeps running even when your body stops.That pressure follows you into your salah, your sleep, even your quiet moments, because your value feels tied to how much you produce.Allah already gave you honor before any task, any job title, or any achievement ever showed up in your life.Your body has a right, your mind has a limit, and your soul needs space to breathe and return to Him.Burnout doesn’t start with long hours, it builds every time your mind refuses to switch off and keeps replaying what’s next.When you start seeing your worth as something given by Allah instead of earned through constant doing, your pace changes and your heart finally settles.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailWe're more connected than ever, and somehow lonelier than we've ever been. The World Health Organization projects that by 2030, loneliness will be the biggest mental health crisis on the planet. And no app, algorithm, or AI is going to fix that.In this clip, Ustadha Razia Hamidi breaks down why real human growth, the kind that gets you out of anxiety, burnout, and spiritual stagnation, can only happen through genuine human connection. She also speaks directly to the doubt that holds so many back from stepping into their purpose as a coach: the fear that they're not ready, don't have what it takes, or haven't figured it out yet.Spoiler: none of Adwam's students felt ready when they started. That's actually the point.If you've been sitting on the idea of becoming a Certified Muslim Life Coach, this is worth watching before Adwam's LIVE cohort closes its doors on May 1st.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailThere's a difference between knowing the right things to say in a session and actually making your client feel safe enough to be honest.Most coaches focus on the first one. The real work is in the second.Ustadha Razia Hamidi walks through the foundations of effective communication as a practice of presence. Because your client reads your body language before you speak, feels your energy before you offer a single insight, and decides whether to trust you based on something that has nothing to do with your credentials.She covers what it actually looks like to listen without already formulating your response. What honesty in a coaching relationship truly requires - including a real session where she had to call out a client's pattern even when it was uncomfortable. Why empathy and validation are not the same as enabling. And how to close a session in a way that leaves your client with something tangible, not just a feeling that slowly fades.This is the kind of coach you want to become: one whose communication is so grounded and present that the change starts happening before you've even said the most important thing.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailThere is a version of riyaa nobody talks about. It is the person who stops doing good entirely because they are afraid of what people will think. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) called this reverse riyaa, and it's far more common in our community than we admit. We have been beaten down by enough trolls and haters that collective silence has started to feel like sincerity.In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef unpack what it actually means to act with Ihsan in public, why private deeds carry a sweetness that nothing visible can match......and how imposter syndrome tricks sincere people into aiming low when Allah has commanded something better from them.They also walk through the Adwam Life Coaching Certification and what it means to carry the prophetic method of growth into real coaching conversations, whether in a professional setting, a community role, or a season of life where you are ready to build something that lasts.In this episode:- What reverse riyaa is and why it is not the same as humility- Why Allah commands Ihsan from every Muslim, including you in your role right now- The difference between a diversified portfolio of deeds and performing for an audience- How imposter syndrome leads people to reject good on purposeJoin the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailWe set goals all the time...But what if some of them were never really about what you actually want?In this session, Ustadha Razia Hamidi sits with a question that most of us skip right past when we're setting goals: "Does this actually align with who I am and what truly matters to me right now?" Because when that answer is no, even the most motivated start leads nowhere.There's also something deeper about what keeps you going when the momentum fades......when life gets complicated, and when the goal feels further away than when you started. And it has everything to do with the quality of your intention.This is a session for anyone who has set the same goal more than once and wondered why it never stuck. For the parent trying to show up better, the leader trying to build something meaningful......or the person who is tired of starting over again and again and running into same wall.The conversation is rooted in our Deen, but the wisdom carries into every corner of your life.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailMany people carry a quiet fear when they step into leadership or service: What if I mess up?That fear grows louder when you begin coaching, mentoring, or guiding others.In this insightful session, Razia Hamidi explores the deeper mindset behind the fear of making mistakes and how it quietly holds people back from showing up with confidence and presence.You will hear a thoughtful discussion about the inner psychology that fuels this fear, why self-awareness becomes one of the most powerful tools a coach can develop, and how humility can transform mistakes into growth instead of shame. The conversation also highlights how intention, reflection, and community learning create the kind of environment where real confidence begins to form.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of what it actually means to grow as a coach, how to handle moments of uncertainty during sessions, and why the path to becoming impactful begins with honest self-reflection and sincere intention.If you have ever hesitated to step forward because you feared getting something wrong, this episode will reshape how you think about growth, leadership, and service.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailYour coaching can impact more than you think...When you master the basics of communication, you create sessions that truly change lives.Active listening makes your client feel seen, empathy builds the trust they crave......and clear words remove the fog that keeps them stuck.Your tone, posture, eye contact - even your pauses shape the energy of the room before any advice is given.Build these foundations and you will see how a simple conversation can have a lasting impact on others.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailWillpower isn’t why Muslims stay stuck...Most of us already know what we’re supposed to do.We just can’t stay consistent when life presses in.That struggle usually is the nafs pulling in directions it was never taught to follow.Islam never asked you to destroy your nafs.It asked you to purify it, guide it, and train it until it settles.When the nafs isn’t coached, it runs on fear, comfort, and approval.And eventually that pressure burns people out, even when the intention was sincere.Real transformation happens when the heart, soul, and nafs are brought back into alignment with Allah.That’s when change stops feeling forced and starts feeling grounded.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.

This is not about turning away from the pain. It’s about returning to your fitrah.In this episode, Ustadha Razia Hamidi shares:Why Shaytan attacks your sense of self-worth before anything elseWhat it really means to carry the identity of being a believer during times of crisisHow to stay spiritually anchored when the world is unrecognizableWhy your healing, your presence, and your contribution - no matter how “small” - are a part of the solutionThis is a moment to remember who you are and Who you belong to.You were created on purpose.

Send us Fan MailEver feel like you're just pretending? Like no matter how much you learn, achieve, or grow… deep down you’re waiting for someone to “find you out”?That’s imposter syndrome and it shows up for so many of us, especially when we care deeply about what we’re doing.In this episode, we unpack what imposter syndrome really is, why it shows up even when you are qualified, and how to start building a healthier, more honest relationship with it.Whether you’re a coach, a parent, a leader - or just someone sincerely trying to grow for the sake of Allah - this conversation is for you.Let’s talk about the lies we tell ourselves… and the truth that sets us free.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.

Send us Fan MailSo many coaches struggle emotionally for weeks (if not months) to finally find a coaching style……that suits their aura and personality.And it takes time, partly because many people fear having a clear vision (of who they want to be) just because it’s too big.But that isn’t the problem, it’s “not having clarity about that vision”.And that creates self-doubt and fear about the certainty of your dreams.The cost of those fears will steer you away from leading yourself to growth and closeness with Allah (swt).A lack of clear vision will breed fear and anxiety.So, here’s what you can do:✅ Have a vision conversation with yourselfWrite down what you want to be and when your thoughts start striking fear in your heart, address your thoughts…As if you're talking to someone else.✅ Put down one vision…And be clear about it. Doesn’t matter if you’re a mom, a new, or an experienced coach…Just be specific about what you want.Simply penning down “I want to be a coach” isn’t going to cut it.And if you can, add a timeframe too so your mind can cut through the noise and have a clear understanding of what your vision looks like.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.

Send us Fan Mail Shaytan is your sworn enemy and every time you think of doing something noble for a good cause…He’ll be the first one to oppose, to plot against you, and try everything in his power to break you down.And one way he can do this (already does actually) is fear, fear of the unknown, fear of making mistakes that might cost you your “image”.See, mistakes are how you learn. Small slip-ups are crucial for your growth, nobody has it easy.But when we fear making too many mistakes, then we’re bound to make them sooner or later.“What if I say the wrong thing to a client?”“What if I come off as a non-professional or incompetent?”What if I make mistakes that the client regrets ever hiring me?”“What if…What if…What if…”There’s a concept I’m sure you’re familiar with - The Learning Curve…And it applies differently to everyone. So, making mistakes, especially as a new coach, is part of your journey…But what does the Islamic perspective say about that?What are the Islamic teachings on learning from errors and the value of humility and continuous improvement?That’s the topic of this podcast: “Embracing Learning: Overcoming Fear of Errors in Coaching”...…where we’ll get to know why making mistakes should never be frowned upon……how can we work our way up the ladder without letting Shaytan make us walk with shame and regret……and how can we use inspiration from our Deen to be openly ready and confident to make mistakes and embrace our learning journey.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.

Because they’ll turn you into one of them too.You don’t need that many people.Even 5 will do, only if they’re committed to growth, willing to share your services with others, who you can label as “ideal clients”.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.

Send us Fan MailDo you know why we have fears?Because we believe something bad might happen that’s not in our control.Even if we don’t understand why it exists in the first place……We still dread it…run from it.And when it comes to life coaches…Some fears can have a bad toll on ‘em.Thoughts like…“What if I dedicate my entire year to this craft and it doesn’t go anywhere?”“What if I invest my money in the wrong place and regret it later?”“What if…this”“What if...that”Tell you the truth, the “what ifs” never end.But what we don’t seem to get is that fear is just an illusion……designed to intimidate us into dropping what we can handle.Ironically speaking, the fear of failure is the reason most coaches fail.Listen to the podcast to know how you can disarm your fears of failure.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailLook, difficult conversations happen whether you’re a coach or not.You need to know how to make the conversation easier for yourself and the person you’re talking to.The sooner you watch the replay and understand how to lead difficult conversations…The better listener you’ll become when it comes to handling people……Whether it’s your parent, child, spouse, or client.But there’s one key that you should always remember.You’re not a consultant who “provides” solutions.You’re a coach - your job is to empower people to solve their problems themselves.As long as you remember that, you’ll save yourself from a lot of pitfalls many new coaches fall into.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan Mail Life’s challenges often stem from internal fears or external hurdles, like impostor syndrome convincing us we don’t deserve success, fear of public speaking silencing our confidence, or uncertainty about building a meaningful and flexible coaching practice. Even trying to navigate hardships with resilience through an Islamic framework can feel overwhelming. These struggles test our faith, patience, and emotional strength, but they also present opportunities for growth. By anchoring ourselves in Islamic values like sabr, tawakkul, and shukr, and seeking practical solutions rooted in our faith, we can turn these challenges into pathways for personal and spiritual transformation. Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailSabr is one of the crucial aspects of a Coach.It's a concept you’ll find yourself frequently drawing inspiration from…Because it stems from the whole idea of Tawakkul in Allah (swt).And when you’re helping people to set them on a path that doesn’t take Allah out of the equation…You’re helping them prepare for Allah’s tests on the way.And when these tests come knocking, they’ll need your support when they trip…And a shoulder to cry on when they’re weak and vulnerable.In turn, this will strengthen their Tawakkul and resilience in the face of hardship.That's one of many grounding tools you must have in your toolbox as a Spiritual Life Coach......to truly help others using a Godly framework to unlock the goodness hidden inside others.And if you want to know more about Islamic Life Coaching and how you can use it in your life......to benefit yourself and others, all the while never taking Allah out of the equation...Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailCoaching isn’t something you learn and go home......Rather it works when you coach yourself too.Think about it…Would you be able to help others if you’re going through the same problem? Wouldn’t that cloud your judgment?Simply knowing isn’t enough, we need to implement what we learn. That’s part of being a coach because clients won’t care how well you “know”...Rather, they’d come to you for the “results” you’ll get them.Listen to this podcast as Ustadha Razia Hamidi - Muslim Life Coach & CEO of DiscoverU breaks down......how to build a successful coaching practice right from the start.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailThis is a gray area where many coaches can fall into and it opens up a wormhole……that’s filled with unpleasant experiences.When our clients muster up the courage to become vulnerable and become transparent……It’s a challenge for us to be aware of how the conversation is flowing, what to say, and what not to say.For instance, instead of sharing practical tools to overcome their personal challenges……we might try sharing our own experiences to make them relatable.But by doing this, we end up sharing the hurt instead of the cure.That’s one of many reasons coaches must set respectable boundaries and be aware not to cross them.So, it’s crucial to know do’s and don’ts and have boundaries, so both of you can stay in your lanes…And avoid crashing into each other.So in this session, we’re going deep in establishing healthy boundaries with clients…And discussing how this aligns with Islamic principles of respect, modesty, and professionalism.Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailYou might’ve been seeing people in your social circle who might’ve gone through a lot emotionally…And while you may have wanted (or even tried) to help them, you may have lacked……the confidence to talk……the tools to help them out of their gut-wrenching pain and hurt……the right skill to gain their trust - a hope that you can (and will) put an end to their misery.But, what you're going to learn in this video is that it's more than just “talking” people out of it, it’s an art.See…Life coaching is a thriving industry in the world for a reason, people need coaches to help them unlock parts of themselves they never knew existed.That’s why coaches like Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, and many others are top of their game.But why “Islamic” life coaching?Because it’s the most unique type of life coaching in the world that can never be replicated by secular models……and this is where you get to know that Islam is NOT an aspect of life...It’s a framework we need to become better Muslims and unlock the goodness hidden inside others and ourselves...So we can live life to the fullest.And if you want to have a glimpse of what Spiritual Life Coaching is all about, how to start, and how to thrive......even without needing to change your career...Get your copy of The Hereafter Paradigm - The Muslim Coach's Handbook.[Download Now]: https://www.adwam.com/handbookJoin the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here. 

Send us Fan MailWe all go through this.“What if I say the wrong thing to a client?”“What if I come off as a non-professional or incompetent?”What if I make mistakes that the client regrets ever hiring me?”“What if…What if…What if…”These “what ifs” rob your confidence as a Muslim Coach.Look, you’re bound to make some mistakes but that’s the key to building rapport with them…But sometimes coaches can let their fears consume them…So here are 2 things you must do…#1 Read this next sentence out loudly as an affirmation:“My mistakes do not define who I am.

Send us Fan MailUstadha Razia Hamidi, with over a decade of experience in the Islam-based personal development space (including Spiritual, Executive, and Relationships Coaching), shares the two fundamentals of effective faith-based coaching. Without the first, you'll miss the true reason behind your client's procrastination or other roadblocks to taking action. Without the second, your client will continue to resist change and will more frequently fall off their progress wagon. As always, Ustadha Razia emphasizes the importance of integrating the Islamic Framework, or as our dear Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) used to say..."Never take Allah out of the equation"Join the Adwam School of Life Coach Training & Certification: https://www.adwam.com/certification?el=podcast-nafs or book a consultation here.
