Success Stories

  • Farha, Global Leader

    When you check so many boxes of what a good life should look like, it's hard to understand why it still feels like it's just not quite right. When I decided to start working with Shazia, that was precisely my problem. I knew there was some sort of block from me reaching my full potential; I just didn't know what it is. But week after week, as the aha moments piled on, things just opened up. Shazia helped me identify small and big practices that connected my thoughts and actions more seamlessly, and that made me feel more connected to my core. I just felt happier. My outlook on the world became more positive. As my self-awareness increased, so did my empathy. I felt more whole.

    I recommend Shazia on a weekly basis to at least one person. Not only is she deeply caring and patient, but intuitive and gentle. She nudged me in all the right ways, and gave me time when I needed it. I recommend her to anyone who just wants to take ownership over her life again. Regain control of who she was once, but elevate it further to who she wants to be. Shazia is a great coach and a beautiful human. I'm forever grateful for having the opportunity to work with her.

    Before I started coaching with Shazia I felt uncertain and anxious about the future, having gone through some major life changes/challenges. At the time, I wasn’t familiar with coaching and could have easily been someone to mock it (I’m ashamed to say!). After hearing Shazia’s story though, I immediately felt connected to her. I saw a beautiful, empowered and fulfilled woman on the other side of the loss and grief that she overcame. I said to myself : “I want whatever she’s taking”

    Shazia taught me to be fearless, and to dream the big dreams…so many of which came true (within a year no less!). After coaching with Shazia, I know that happiness and fulfillment are a choice. She guides you to tap into your own power, and gives you concrete actions to take based on the type of support you ask for in the sessions.

    I’d recommend Shazia's program to the woman who is open and ready to become her highest self. As women, we often put others’ needs before our own, and it can feel unnatural to invest in ourselves. Without a doubt, her coaching has been the best and most important investment I’ve made thus far.

  • Yasmin El-Hady, Comedian, Relationship Mentor, Attorney

    "I came to Shazia in a real bind--I felt stuck. Through her compassionate but firm style, she helped me unravel my issues one by one so I could better understand what was holding me back from my full potential. I had never really understood how important a life coach was to personal and professional development. Shazia helped me organize my thoughts, make my intentions clear for what I wanted, and kept me accountable to myself. I feel indebted to her ingenious skill to follow-through and show a deep, thoughtful consideration for her clients. I believe Shazia invested in me and that made it easier to invest in myself. I am truly grateful and now almost a year later, I am still reaping the benefits of Shazia's incredible navigation of my life. I removed the blocks in my life that were preventing me from true success, I captured the career of my dreams, and most importantly, I really sensed a positive energetic change for me--it's Shazia's energy that she helps you learn from. I would sincerely recommend her for anyone who is ready to make a change and be honest with what they want."

  • Mayan Tran, CEO, Mayan Tran

    "Shazia has an incredible ability and understanding of how to truly connect with others. Her optimism, authenticity, and vulnerable sharing of her struggles and triumphs are so inspiring and refreshing. She taught me how to find my authentic voice and write from my heart, which not only allowed me to relate to my audience on a much deeper level, but also reduced the time it took to write content for my business. What used to take days, sometimes weeks, to write one blog post now flows out easily in one sitting! This one skill I learned from Shazia has opened up more time and energy for working with clients, implementing new projects and self care. It has also made writing is a lot less stressful and even more fun now."

  • Hei-Yue Pang, Change Agent/Connector

    I felt confused and pulled in many directions by different voices. It was paralyzing. My coaching sessions with Shazia created the divine space to access the beautiful depths of my soul, realigning me with my own unique voice. That may sound like an overly profound and embellished statement but every word of that is true and I am forever grateful to Shazia and the skillful and nurturing ways she shared to help me unblock the self compassion I needed in order to access the full self that God created me to be. Her guidance helped me to take ownership of that power within and it has set me on the foundation I need to build upwards sustainably with greater boldness.

    Thank you, Shazia, for helping me rediscover and reclaim my essence. I am so glad I took the leap and invested in myself with you!

But wait… there’s more!

  • I believe that God brings certain people into our lives for a specific reason and exactly when we need them most, which is how I stumbled upon Shazia without even looking for a coach, yet she’s just who God knew I needed at the time.


    Taking a leap of faith and not really knowing what to expect, I decided to sign up for her program and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Shazia is so unique with her warm and bubbly personality, infectious laugh, and of course the wealth of knowledge and insight that she openly shares. She has the ability to make you feel so at ease and comfortable from the very first meeting that it feels like you’ve known her forever.


    There’s so much that I learned through my journey with her about myself, the world, and how to reach my dreams. I have overcome several obstacles and grown tremendously as an individual more than ever before and I have Shazia to thank for that.


    ​She encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and was always there to provide support whenever fear or doubt would hold me back. It’s through her guidance that I was able to gain the confidence I lacked and have a much stronger belief in myself and my abilities. I’m blessed to have met her when I did and I’m so thankful to have her continuous support in my life.  

  • "I turned to people looking for recommendations for a career/life coach. I called up a few of the ones suggested and felt really drawn to Shazia Imam. She is warm, empathetic, funny, and genuine. I still struggle to put into words the impact working with her had on me. Without any exaggeration, working with Shazia was life changing. So much so that a year after we've ended coaching, I am still seeing her impact in my life. If you are feeling stuck, stagnant, bored, pulled in multiple directions, unsure of where to go next, or simply looking to be the best version of yourself but need some guidance, you need to work with Shazia. She is THE one!! She helped me overcome mental barriers and self limiting beliefs that were keeping me from realizing my full potential. She taught me how to tune out all the noise, including my own tendency to rationalize and overthink, and learn to trust my intuitive self. She helped shift my perspective and outlook on SO much. I left feeling empowered and literally unstoppable. Life-coaching with her is without a doubt one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. I'm eternally grateful to Shazia Imam and thank God for allowing me to find her!"

  • Coaching with Shazia is truly a life-changing experience! For so many years I spent my life being everything for everyone, losing myself in the process. I finally hit a turning point when I realized that instead of filling me up, my constant need to people-please had left me emotionally and physically drained and with no idea of who I was anymore.   I needed to make a drastic change in my life but didn't know where to begin, especially with the constant pressures of family, work, etc. weighing on me. Enter Shazia’s coaching program. From the time of our initial consultation, I was swept away by Shazia’s infectious energy, enthusiasm, and her unwavering confidence in my ability to re-discover myself and live my true authentic life. Through our one-on-one coaching sessions, Shazia helped me dig deep and discover the painful truths that had been holding me back for so long, let go, and start living the life that I wanted to live. She was with me 110 percent each step of the journey, knowing exactly when to push me and also when to step back and let me work things out for myself. As a result, I found myself able to tell Shazia anything, things I had never told anyone, knowing that there would be no judgement — only deep empathy, love, compassion, and ultimately, a way to move forward. During the course of our time together she re-awakened my self-confidence, passions, and desire to be “more”, guiding me with practical advice and exercises to focus my thoughts into attainable goals and action plans. Most importantly, she gave me the courage to believe in myself again and the power which we hold within ourselves, truly priceless! Trust me, you will not regret this investment in yourself!!!     

  • "I felt trapped in certain aspects of my life. I was not in a terrible position overall and kept telling myself that I "just needed to get over it."  I was also skeptical of how much a life coach would help. Shazia, not only opened up my eyes to a completely new way of living, but she helped me implement real-life, simple tools necessary to access a positive power I didn't know I held. She has an uncanny way of asking pertinent, deep questions that resonate with you long after the conversation is over. She is attentive, funny, and kind, but she's also no-nonsense and doesn't beat around the bush. I love that. After coaching with Shazia I am not only more grateful for what I have, but have much more to be grateful for. Life changing opportunities  opened up for me, and I am still shocked by how dramatically things have shifted in such a short period of time. I’d recommend Shazia's program to anyone and everyone! We all have it in us to become the best versions of ourselves and we shouldn't waste another moment being anything less. Shazia is the key!"

  • "I felt apprehensive whether I really needed coaching, but felt something inside of me that just wasn't quite fulfilled and got tired of it nagging at me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Shazia helped me explore these weak signals inside myself which had been keeping me from my full potential and I had been ignoring for years! She helped me become more self-aware of when my own self might be getting in the way of my happiness. Best of all, her approach is practical! I incorporate most of the skills and strategies she's coached me on in my day to day life. I’d recommend Shazia's coaching program to anyone, including and especially those that may think that coaching isn't for them or don't see the benefit. After even the first conversation with Shazia, you'll see how she can help you become a better version of yourself regardless of where you are in your journey."

  • "Before I started coaching with Shazia I struggled with acknowledging my own self worth, putting others' needs in front of my own, and giving myself the bare minimum while giving others the maximum.  After going through this process I realized how powerful I am as person, that I have great contributions to offer the world, and that my purpose is to create positive change.  Working with Shazia was a pivotal moment in my life, one in which I am grateful to have had her by my side.  I'd recommend Shazia's program to anyone who feels stuck in a moment, who needs clarity, and, most importantly, who needs someone to listen."

…and more!

Before I started coaching with Shazia I was…feelin like a hot mess to put it nicely. I was completely drawn to her and her energy and I knew when we hopped on a call that I wanted whatever it is she was going to offer me. There was one thing I desperately wanted in my life: Clarity and Peace.


I found myself questioning everything! Unsure of myself, overwhelmed, stuck and frustrated a lot more than I wanted to admit to myself. I felt like I was going in circles. I was always in a rush and I thought it was because of my kids that I felt that way, until I realized in our coaching together that I used to journal about feeling rushed even before kids!
I cannot tell you the amount of personal growth and transformation I went through this past year with Shazia–if I did it would be a 100 page essay and let’s be honest no one wants to read that!

If there is one major thing that changed it is this: I am no longer in a rush…like ever. But I get MORE done and with better quality than I did before when I was in go-go mode all the time (trust me–it’s weird!).

Not only this…but I am able to REALLY experience this one thing that cannot be described unless you experience it. It is hard to put into words. I can be happy and content right now, and now I TRULY know and believe in my core that no accomplishment or external thing will give me happiness. I still have thoughts that “When I reach X,Y, Z I will be finally happy…” but I no longer believe my brain when it tells me that. I just notice it. And WOW–my brain used to be very convincing!

I have become content be-ing instead of do-ing (although I love doing, but nothing was ever good enough–I was never satisfied). Now that I learned how to just BE during our coaching together, I have been able to actually enjoy doing, I am never in a rush and when I reach a goal my worth is not attached to it, I have a much better relationship with my husband and my kids, and my life truly feels more balanced.

I have worked with many business coaches but I had never found what I was searching for until I met Shazia. I love personal development and it has always been a top priority for me. Shazia is hands down the BEST coach I have ever worked with (for my business and personal life!) and it was an honor to work with her. If you are feeling the tug–DO it! The money will always come back to you ;)

Before I started coaching with Shazia, I was in a big growth in my purpose and mission through my business. Although I was already creating incredible success in my life, I had bigger callings and I felt alone in fulfilling them. As a mentor and guide myself, I knew I would need my own space holder to guide and support me as well in fulfilling my visions.
As I was seeking who would be this individual for me, I was shown Shazia's face in a meditation. I instantly knew she would be the perfect person for the container I needed.

Shazia is loving, intelligent, incredibly intuitive and insightful. Most importantly, I felt in my heart how much she stood for and saw me. I felt incredibly safe and secure to share my wins and process my challenges with her.
She helped me:

  • Through my powerful spiritual journey of the Self.

  • Integrate and embrace all parts of me so that I may shine

  • Lean into the Feminine aspect of creation/manifestation

  • Relax into who I am, and know I am enough

  • Uncover and shift the more subtle ways I relate to life so that I can thrive

After coaching with Shazia: 

  • I've been able to grow my business in exponential ways through Flow

  • Focus on my own health and wellness

  • Claim more confidence in own personal magical self, knowing more and more how secure and powerful I truly am

  • Feel worthy of abundance, prosperity and pleasure through my service - and creating more of it every day


I’d recommend Shazia's program to anyone who is ready to go deep within themselves, see their blindsides to uncover what belief systems that may be hindering the highest potential for success. Anyone who is ready to dive deeper into Flow, the Feminine aspects of Pleasure, Enjoyment and Ease.

Shazia is the real deal, gaias. I hope more and more women get to experience her medicine and magic.

Lotus Sky, CEO of Lotus Sky

I had never worked with a coach before and I had no idea what to expect.  Based on Shazia's impressive credentials and professional successes, I was immediately comforted by the fact that she understood the unique struggles and challenges of being a professional woman.  Prior to my initial consultation, I was at the end of my (professional) rope.  I felt disempowered at work and I felt like I wasn't connected to a mission that was making a positive impact in the world.  Before I spoke to Shazia, I had been holding all my of thoughts inside, not telling a soul and due to being a "glass is half full" person and classic overachiever, I just pressed on excelling at work. 


Shazia created a structured and safe environment where I could grieve my loss and express my disappointment on how my professional environment was not matching up with my expectations, hopes, desires, and goals. She offered me a secure place to dream big and express my vision for my personal and professional life.  Through the visual exercises that Shazia conducted, I was able to boldly verbalize what I wanted for the next stage in my career.  This was a breakthrough moment for me and our conversations helped change the course of my life.   

Based on my work with Shazia, I felt empowered to verbalize what I truly wanted and after I began to take concrete actions on going after a brand new opportunity in a new sector, the results came pouring in.  I am happy to share the exciting news that I accepted my ideal role that will help positively impact millions of lives across the globe.  My work will be doing something I love in an empowered environment, instead of the former.
In conclusion, I see my time with Shazia as a catalyst that helped change the direction of my life.  I am more fulfilled, happy, and confident that I am now walking on a path where I am meant to be in this world.  Shazia is a gifted leader who is helping to boldly change lives and thus, changing the world.  I cannot thank her enough for her thoughtful support and helping to bring me to where I am supposed to be.  I highly recommend her to all the dreamers and imagineers out there who have a quiet voice inside telling you that you are meant for more.  Shazia can help you make your dreams become a reality.

Before I started coaching with Shazia I was lost. I had been growing and healing but had reached a plateau, a painful plateau where I felt stuck, frustrated and confused. Money was tight, I was feeling suffocated by my kids, and my business was stagnant, in general I was feeling like everything I was doing wasn't good enough. I knew so much about the way I wanted to be but I couldn't get myself to become that version of me. 
She helped me reframe my mindset, understand my underlying attitude and most importantly relax. Shazia is an incredibly skilled coach, she truly listens to you and guides you out of any circular thinking and through any challenging situation.  

After coaching with Shazia I'm receiving abundance from a host of sources, my business began to grow and I have much more compassion with myself and therefore my kids. 
​
I’d recommend Shazia's program to any women feeling like they are overwhelmed but at the same time know they are capable of so much more. Shazia is the biggest and best investment I've ever made in myself. There is no greater gift you can give yourself than the gift of a commitment to your own care and time. Coaching with Shazia gives you that and much more.

I was always a happy and positive person. While pregnant with my first child, I opened up a spa, worked with a bunch of amazing ladies in the health and wellness field and felt like I was going somewhere in my business.  But after my first born, I was hit with pretty bad post-partum depression and couldn’t figure out this new life of being a mom. I let go of a lot of things including my work, and decided to stay home and take it easy. 


It wasn’t enough for me. I felt really in the dark and completely lost after having two kids. Don’t get me wrong, I am sooo very grateful for my children.  I worked with infertility, so I know how blessed I am to have children but I felt like this empty shell, and needed something MORE for myself. I needed to define who I am and couldn’t figure out this new me. Who am I? I would work nights at home while my kids slept to start this handmade fashion business but still felt stressed and unaccomplished during the day. Being a mom wasn’t just enough for me. I got angry that my husband seemed completely fine with this new life while I myself felt stuck.


In those times working late at night, I would listen to podcasts and one of them was Shazia’s Feminine & Fulfilled, recommended by a few people. She was incredible. It was like I found someone who could really understand me without any kind of judgement. Her podcast was like a step by step guide to improving yourself and loving who you are! I needed MORE. I got the courage to message her and have a complimentary Discovery Call and decided I needed to invest in myself and there we began our journey together. As my life coach, I couldn’t have asked for a better person. She is caring, loving, pushes you when you start to get back to your old ways of thinking, encourages you to keep growing and helps you find this strong, passionate, indestructible and positive spirit inside of you. With every coaching call, I myself felt like the phoenix firebird rising from the ashes. If you are feeling this incredible need inside to shift and be the best you I would not hesitate to call Shazia. I invested in myself and had the most life changing experiences. Her coaching helped me find this powerful person inside that was finally set free. ​

The first time I heard about Shazia, a friend of mine had posted about her on social media explaining how Shazia had changed her life. I was in a very dark place at the time and was so struck by the post that I saved Shazia's information and told myself I would contact her in the future. Several years later, my life had hit a very low point. I was in a relationship that was going nowhere, in a job I hated, and dealing with traumas that refused to be ignored. I felt angry all the time. I was depressed, hating life, and generally lost, confused, and hopeless.


After all those years, I still remembered my friend's words about how Shazia helped her transform her life. I finally committed to changing my life and contacted Shazia. Honestly, I was skeptical at Shazia'a optimism and energy...she seemed more excited about my life than I did! I was desperate for change so I agreed to try working with Shazia, though I didn't have much hope.


I can truly say my life has transformed working with Shazia. This is not exaggeration. I look back at the person I was and don't even recognize her. Shazia helped me alleviate my despair, find joy and hope in life, and just love myself and my life! She has helped me in the processing of uncovering my true self, deal with past traumas, and find direction and happiness.
If you are questioning whether working with Shazia is for you, I am here to tell you...just do it! If you feel stuck, lost, depressed, or just as though your life has no direction, contact Shazia! Commit to changing yourself and your life, and you will be amazed. Make this investment in yourself, trust the process, and you will not be disappointed.

And just in case… here’s a few more!

  • "Shazia is one of the most powerful storytellers I have met -- storytelling is an ability she is able to share with and cultivate it in others. I speak of storytelling in a context that is more powerful than the joys brought by a tale to be crafted by an expert of words and observation (though she brings this as well.)  She is able to help you see your own story more clearly and realise that many of the seemingly most insurmountable impediments in your life are precisely the stories you have recited to yourself over and over.  Her view as a storyteller is unique, as she is able to observe and reveal your natural strengths by providing a space where you can see yourself without the distortion of past experiences and helps you live your life as a choose-your-own ending kind of story, rather than an extension of a self-limiting story in your past.  She helped me move towards a life-changing turning point to "engineer" a better one, and I am very thankful she has come into my life."


  • "Shazia is inspiring, calming, and non-judgmental. I felt like I could tell her everything! I knew that she had so much to offer and help me.
    When I first talked to Shazia, I had too many business projects and ideas racing through my head. I had no clue where to start. That on top of my family commitments. After having our session, I left with a great and clear sense of purpose and who I want to be and what I truly wanted to do instead of the 'shoulds' in my head. 
    Shazia helped calm down the voices nagging in my head. After our exercise, I just had one voice that told me what was the most important thing at that time and I was able to prioritize and push everything else aside. There was a 'zen' factor in every interaction that I really needed. I always left feeling great.
    ​I would recommend Shazia to women who want to do something they desire or something they always wanted (work, volunteer, projects, go back to school, etc) but find it difficult to set some time and mental space aside with all their to-do lists."

  • "Not knowing exactly what I was getting into, yet opening myself up to not lead the rest of my life the way the past had been lead was the best thing I could ever have done for myself!  Shazia's patience and sincerity to get me to my full potential at a pace that I required, gave me to tools to find my inner strength, prioritize effectively, identify my resources and communicate to myself and others, my needs and envision dreams.  She helped me design the key that unlocked the door of fear and allows me to be my true self.  I recommend Shazia's program to EVERYONE!  Truly transformational!  I never thought I could inhale so deeply and exhale so gently. "

  • Before I started my VIP experience with Shazia, I felt a little lost. I was clear on my vision but I was feeling unsure about how to bring it to life. I was also feeling impatient and wanted things to happen but felt like I kept getting stuck. I felt hesitant to show up creatively. 
    She helped me by encouraging me to face what was blocking me head on. Through talking with her, I realized things that were holding me back that I didn’t even know were holding me back. It was a very emotional experience and I wasn’t expecting to get that deep but I did and Shazia was right there with tissues in hand, listening. 
    After coaching with Shazia I feel way more confident in who I am. I am chasing my dreams boldly and so many blessings keep opening up for me, alhamdulilah. 
    I’d recommend Shazia's program to anyone who is feeling lost but knows they are destined for more. It’s an investment in yourself you won’t regret. 

  • "Life coaching with Shazia has single handedly been one of the best things I have done for myself.  Ever.  
    She has helped me move from a place of dissatisfaction and disempowerment to an incredibly inspired, empowered and contented version of myself.  We worked through painful and tough judgements and beliefs that were keeping me small and keeping me from living the life I was meant to live.  She has provided the right amount of support at the right times and given me the tools I've needed to create fortitude and confidence in my own abilities to support myself.  Her coaching has fast tracked me through many hurdles and bumps in the journey I'm on.  Further, Shazia has honed her listening skills in such a powerful way that she would often pinpoint my concern with just a few well worded questions, then offer me the tools I needed to resolve that concern.  I can't recommend life coaching or Shazia enough - if you're looking to make an investment in yourself, commit to this and don't look back."

  • "Shazia has this ability to help you see yourself as capable, lovable and valued, because she absolutely believes that.  She listens and asks questions, she inspires me to move outside of my comfort zone, and see my life from a different perspective.  Shazia sees things in us that we don’t yet see in ourselves and enables us to see it, too. She does not let us ignore the things that are important to us, and will keep pointing us there.  She has a core belief that we can live in a way that most fulfills us, and that the power to do so is within each of us;  that we can be truly happy, and that happiness  comes from within — and she gently, compassionately nudges us in this direction.  In her own life, she models this in a very genuine way — examining her own journey, facing challenges, pushing herself toward her goals, and moving forward with love and compassion for herself and others.  Shazia approaches life and her relationships with strength, passion, courage and love in a way that is so inspiring."
