Blend of Cultures
One of the most powerful connections I have experienced is with someone who understands what it means to be Lebanese. My heritage, our family life, tables overflowing with food, the deep sense of community, and the way we form relationships.
When I seek a professional to support my own lifelong growth, I ask myself, Can they understand where I come from? Can they understand the customs I grew up with? What it means when I say, “I can’t schedule a call with my mom until the weekend, she will kill me!”
One of the things that brings me the most joy as a coach is my ability to genuinely connect with people from many different cultures. I was born in the United States, grew up in Lebanon, and have been living in Australia for the past 10 years.
These experiences have given me a blend of cultures and perspectives that allow me to better understand my clients and connect with individuals from all around the world.
I hope this gives you something to consider when choosing someone to work with, whether that’s a mind coach, therapist, psychologist, naturopath, or another professional. Feeling understood can be just as important as feeling supported.
The right professional doesn’t just understand your goals. They understand the world that shaped you.
