The Coach Within You

We at The Coach Within You are delighted to welcome our new Trainee Coach, Sarha Rasheed .rasheed . In her own words: “ I am a woman of color, raised in a South Asian community where msyognistic and patriarchal values are deeply rooted, and in a country where generations are still plagued with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder brought by the subcontinent’s partition.

Being an obedient brown daughter, I had to abandon my needs and wishes in the relentless pursuit of validation and acceptance from all the authoritative figures in my life.

The shackles of generational trauma held me tightly, until the day I decided to question the unquestionable and raise my voice against norms and beliefs that didn’t align with my purpose and being.

The struggle didn’t end here. The inner void deepened with time. I didn’t feel at ease with where I was headed in life. My quest for deeper meaning of life intensified, which ultimately led me to quit my corporate job and discover my true authentic self; someone whose identity is different and distinct from all the labels that are given to her.

After years of shunning my calling underneath the needs of this survivalist world, I have embarked on a journey to discover myself, and consistently be a work in progress.

As your coach, I invite you to experience the magic of self discovery with me - I will walk along the beach with you while you explore the depths of the ocean that lies in front of you and navigate your way to excavate the most precious jewel that lies beneath it.”

We welcome Sarha to our practice and invite you to extend to her a warm welcome as well. If you would like to work with Sarha or set up an introductory session with her, please send us a DM or an email at [email protected]

New York is the ultimate city - some of the world’s most beautiful, talented and eligible people live here, a majority of whom are reportedly single.

But does more people equal more options? Is that a good or bad thing? Dating in NYC can be infamously hard, more so for desi people who might have to navigate layers of shame, guilt, micro-aggressions, family politics and the ever present pressure to get married.

Faiza a young, beautiful diva living in New York City joins us on Sunday at 12 noon ET to share her dating experiences and disasters and what it means to be brown, 30-something, and single in NYC.
Don’t miss it!

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions - Hafez.

On the other side of fear, is freedom.

Love completes unhappy people.

Self-work is a way of life. It requires making a commitment and dedicating time and energy. It’s a choice you make. It is not for everybody, but most people find it immensely useful. If it is your jam, welcome to the tribe.

If you know anybody (especially women and LGBTQ folx) from who might find this useful please share. Thank you.🇦🇫

We all want our love life to be magical.

We want something to sweep us off of our tired feet and make us feel loved, understood and accepted. (Thank you, )

When we find someone like that, we never want it to end.

Except that it does. And we feel horrible. Adults relationships are always conditional and can end anytime. It’s part of life and growing up.

The only kind of unconditional, magical love out there is the one we receive as children.

Where we have a right to be understood, loved and accepted just as we are. No conditions attached. Forever.

But what if life didn’t bring you this magic in childhood?

Many of us keeping looking for it in every corner, street and cafe. In every partner we meet. Or wish we had met.

Relationships are never satisfying because we don’t feel that “magic”.

It’s okay to grieve the loss of that magic. But it’s also important to move on and experience the other kinds of magic in this world. Read the post more or send me a DM.

We have all been there.

Looking for magic, hoping someone will sweep us off of our feet and make us feel loved, understood and and accepted.

Forever and ever and ever.

Except that it is never for ever. In adult relationships, we can feel all of those things but there are always conditions attached.
