Do you struggle to receive compliments? Does praise make you feel uncomfortable?

That was me many years ago. I used to downplay or deflect compliments. Now, they move me deeply.

Growing up, I received a different message: being myself was not enough. I needed to adapt. Fit in. Adjust to a particular mould.

So I did what many of us learn to do — I reshaped myself to meet expectations. I became highly attuned to what was acceptable and worked hard to belong.

Therapy changed that.

It helped me recognise the narratives I had internalised about who I should be — and question whether they were ever truly mine.

Slowly, I reconnected with my authentic self.

My story is not unique.

Parents, teachers, cultural norms, and society all shape how we see ourselves. When you’re repeatedly shown — subtly or explicitly — that you are “less than,” it leaves a mark.

In my work as a coach and counsellor, I see this often:
High-achieving, thoughtful individuals who appear confident, yet quietly question whether they are enough.

A core part of my work is supporting clients to:
🔸 Identify inherited narratives that no longer serve them.
🔸 Separate their identity from other people’s projections.
🔸 Understand how shame and trauma can be intergenerational.
🔸 Cultivate self-compassion and self-trust.
🔸 Build a sense of worth not dependent on external approval.

This is what I’ve learned:
💫 To feel loved, we must first learn to love ourselves.
💫 What others say and do often reflects their own wounds, not our worth.
💫 Trauma can be passed down — but so can healing.

Therapy freed me from the belief that I had to earn belonging by abandoning myself.

Now, I support others to do the same.

The work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about coming home to who you already are.

I am curious — how do you respond when someone compliments you?

"I know I need to change… but part of me keeps holding on."

Something my clients often share, and I remember feeling myself, and expressing in the past.

Sometimes we reach a point where we have a growing sense that the life we built no longer quite fits who we are becoming.

Change sounds simple in theory.

In reality, it asks a lot from us.

In my experience, real change usually requires these things:

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲.
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲.

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 to question the beliefs about yourself, others, and the world — beliefs that may have once protected you but no longer support who you are becoming.

Courage to let go of identities, habits, or relationships that once felt right but no longer support who you are becoming.

Courage to recognise that parts of our life story are shaped, not only by what happened to us, but by the meanings we created around those experiences.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 to acknowledge that you, and others, did the best you could with the resources available at the time.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 because this kind of work requires consistent attendance and active engagement to overcome deeply ingrained patterns, manage difficult emotions, and achieve personal goals.

And then there is 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Because while the 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 to change can happen in a moment…

The 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 of change unfolds gradually.
Insight by insight.
Conversation by conversation.
Step by step.

I’d be interested to hear your perspective:

Who’s that person?

The one you carry within you.

Many of the people who come to coaching and counselling feel disconnected from themselves. They feel unseen, unheard, or not good enough. They’ve learned to stay quiet, to shrink, or to question their own worth.

Some carry an “inner child” who still feels the impact of those early experiences — still searching for safety, validation, and a sense of belonging.

I know that place … because I’ve been there too.

There was a time in my life when I didn’t love myself. I lacked confidence, stayed silent, and felt powerless to change my circumstances or my story. Deep down, I carried a version of myself who didn’t feel like she was enough.

And for a long time, I believed that was just who I was.

But something in me knew there had to be more.

Through coaching, counselling, and deep personal work, I began to explore the stories I had been holding onto — the beliefs I had formed about myself and my life.

Slowly, things started to change.

And this is the same work I now do with my clients.

Together, we gently uncover the narratives they’ve been living by. We begin to question them, reshape them, and create space for something new.

When we change the meaning we give to our experiences, we create space for healing, growth, and lasting change.

That “inner child” you carry within you, who once felt unseen or not enough, begins to feel safe, valued, and whole.

And from that place, something powerful happens.

They grow into a version of themselves who feels grounded, self-assured, and empowered — no longer defined by the past.

I carry that version within me now.

And I see my clients begin to carry it within themselves too.

That’s the work.

And it starts with a simple question:

Who is the person you carry within you?

10/04/2026

Today is my birthday.

For the first 10 years of my life, it wasn’t.

I was born on the 10th of April, yet my birthday was celebrated on the 27th of March — shared with one of my cousins. I was raised by my grandmother, and with my parents not fully present, no one made an effort to find out my correct birth date.

That changed when I was 10, when my mother visited and corrected it.

But the absence of being seen had already left its mark.

Not that birthdays were ever a big occasion. They were acknowledged, but that was about it — no parties, no cakes, no gifts. Nothing like the celebrations I later made sure my own children would experience.

Looking back, I can see how experiences like this quietly shape us.

For me, it became:
𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.
𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦.
𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵.

Even when I turned 21, I said nothing. I let the day pass as if it didn’t matter — because, deep down, I didn’t feel like I did either.

It was through coaching and counselling — both receiving it and later training in it — that I began to understand what was really underneath all of that:

Self-worth.

Now, in my work as a coach and counsellor, I see this often — people minimising themselves, staying small, not feeling worthy of being acknowledged.

So today, I’m choosing something different.

To mark the day.
To take up space.
To celebrate my own life.

And maybe this is a gentle reminder for you too:

We each matter.
Our stories matter.
The day we arrived in this world matters.

So let me ask you this—honestly:

When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to be acknowledged — not for what you do, but simply for who you are?

And if you feel so inclined, pause for a moment here, and wish me a happy birthday 🎂

“𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥…”

When I first read these words
by 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗞𝗮𝘂𝗿 in 𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘕𝘰 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳, they stayed with me.

She describes how shame can quietly stitch itself into our story — through small insults, stares, slurs, and subtle moments of “othering” that make us feel like we don’t quite belong in our own skin.

But she also writes about her sanctuary: her grandfather. The steady presence who reminded her, again and again, that she was shielded by love.

Many of us have known both experiences. I certainly have.

In my coaching and counselling work, I often see how loud the inner critic becomes over time. It carries the echoes of past experiences that may include racism and discrimination. And we tend to give that voice the microphone.

I often ask my clients one simple question:
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?

Then I encourage them to do something intentional:
Invite that voice into your life arena.

Not by silencing critics completely — as Brené Brown reminds us, critics will always exist — but by amplifying the voices of those who see you, believe in you, and remind you who you are.

As a coach and counsellor, my role is to support clients to:
🔸 Identify the origins of shame.
🔸Separate their identity from the messages they absorbed.
🔸Reconnect with supportive, regulating relationships.
🔸And strengthen an inner voice that is grounded in compassion rather than criticism.

The relationships we invest in shape our nervous system, our confidence, and our capacity to lead and live authentically.

So I’ll leave you with this:
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 “𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯”?
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦?

Earlier in March, I took some time off from work to focus on something deeply meaningful — welcoming my second grandson into the world.

This experience gently reaffirmed something I often explore in my work:

𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

Some we choose. Others arrive unexpectedly. But all of them ask something of us.

With the arrival of a new family member, roles expand and family dynamics shift. Each person begins adjusting, in their own way, to a new reality.

Even my two-year-old grandson is navigating one of his first big transitions. Like all of us, he will need time, support, and space to process what this change means.

Because transitions are not just external events — they are internal experiences.

They deserve to be acknowledged.
They invite reflection.
They ask us to notice what’s happening beneath the surface.

How we process change shapes how we show up in our relationships, and in the world.

While we can’t avoid life’s transitions, we can move through them with more ease when we:
🔸Reflect on our experiences.
🔸Build awareness of our inner world.
🔸Allow time to process, rather than rush through change.

When we do, something shifts.

💫We begin to embrace rather than resist.
💫We feel calmer rather than anxious.
💫We see opportunities rather than obstacles.
💫We feel more grounded and confident.

With the right support, transitions can be meaningful — even transformative.

I feel deeply grateful for the safe arrival of my second grandson, and look forward to this evolving chapter of “grandmothering” 🧡

I changed careers at 50.

This April , my coaching and counselling practice, Recipes4Change, turns 14 — and I turn 64.

What surprises me the most is this:
I am far happier at 64 than I was at 24.

And the work I do today feels more fulfilling, rewarding and aligned with my purpose.

My path into coaching and counselling was not a straight one.

For many years I worked as a pharmacist while privately carrying emotional struggles rooted in an unsettled childhood, and later experiences of racism and discrimination.

Those experiences shaped the beliefs I held about myself and what I thought was possible in life.

Coaching and counselling changed that trajectory.

Through that work, I slowly “grew myself up again,” reclaiming my self-worth and becoming deeply curious about how our thoughts, emotions and behaviours shape the lives we create.

That curiosity eventually led me to formal studies in human personality, behaviour and communication.

As people around me noticed the changes in me, they began asking for support with their own challenges.

That is when I realised something important:

The transformation I experienced myself was the work I wanted to offer others.

That insight changed everything.

So, in April 2012, I left pharmacy and committed fully to Recipes4Change.

I still remember introducing it at a networking event and handing out chocolate eggs with my business card — it happened to be Easter that year.

Today I work mainly with internationals — people who have relocated across cultures, rebuilt their lives in new countries, or find themselves reconsidering their direction later in life.

Many of them are navigating identity shifts, career transitions and the emotional challenges of living between cultures.

Often, they wonder whether it might simply be “too late” to change.

My own journey tells me otherwise.

Starting again at 50 taught me that reinvention is possible at any stage of life. It is never too late to reshape your life, pursue new dreams, or correct course.

As April arrives — a month of renewal — I’m reminded that growth and new beginnings are possible at any age.

Often, meaningful change begins slowly.

If this resonates, feel free to share your thoughts, or story of reinvention, in the comments.

Have you ever noticed that the tasks you procrastinate on the most are not the difficult ones… but the emotional ones?

Years ago, after my divorce, I needed to do a big decluttering project. Old documents, papers and photos had piled up and needed sorting. Yet I kept putting it off — day after day, week after week, even month after month.

Why?

Because the task felt both mundane and emotionally painful.

Every item seemed to trigger a timeline in my head:
“This was before the move.”
“This was after the divorce.”
“This was before the girls left home.”

Before long I would feel emotionally overwhelmed, abandon the project, and promise myself I’d tackle it another day.

Then one weekend something surprising happened.

I felt unusually energised and motivated, and I managed to get a large part of the job done.
Afterwards I reflected on what had made the difference.

It turned out to be something very small — a simple shift in the phrase I was using in my own mind.

Instead of thinking, “𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥” or “𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥,”I began saying to myself:
“𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄.”

Those few words changed everything.

“That was then and this is now” carries a tone of acceptance, growth and forward movement. It acknowledges the past without pulling us back into it.

Suddenly the task felt lighter. I was able to keep going. And along the way I even discovered a few forgotten treasures that truly 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘫𝘰𝘺 — as organising consultant Marie Kondo would say.

This experience reminded me of something I see often in my work as a coach and counsellor:
👉 Procrastination is rarely about laziness.
More often it’s about emotion.

When a task is connected to grief, change, fear, or unresolved memories, our minds naturally try to avoid it.

But when we identify the emotion behind the resistance, and find a healthier narrative, something shifts. Momentum returns. What once felt heavy becomes manageable.

Sometimes the smallest change in perspective can unlock the energy we need to move forward.

That was then. This is now.
A simple phrase — but a powerful reminder that while our past shapes us, it doesn’t have to hold us back.

Have you ever noticed an emotional reason behind something you were procrastinating on?

20/03/2026

In 2012, I listened to Beyoncé sing I Was Here for United Nations on World Humanitarian Day.

The lyrics stayed with me:
“I wanna say I lived each day, until I died
know that I had something in somebody's life…”

Coincidentally, 2012 was also the year I began my practice, Recipes4Change.

At the time, I simply knew I wanted to make a difference. I didn’t yet fully understand what that would look like. But over the years, as a coach and counsellor, the meaning of those lyrics has deepened.

Why are we here?
What do we hope to leave behind?
Are we making the world better in the ways available to us?

In my work, I have learned that legacy isn’t about grand gestures.
It’s built in the quiet moments.

💫 A client who feels truly heard for the first time.
💫 A difficult conversation that creates clarity and courage.
💫 A shift in perspective that opens the door to change.
💫 A small act of compassion that transforms a life story.

We don’t need to be famous, powerful, or extraordinary to leave our mark. As ordinary as we are, showing up with empathy, presence, and integrity is enough.

Change is always possible. I witness it every time someone entrusts me with their story and chooses to grow beyond their current chapter.

That, to me, is what it means to say: I was here.

We are all here. The question is — how will we show up?

19/03/2026

Have you ever had a “guardian angel” in your life?

Not the kind with wings.

The kind who shows up in your life at exactly the right moment — and quietly change its direction.

When I was 17, my life was turned upside down.

My family fled Ghana after a coup d’état.
During that turmoil, my cousin — someone I grew up with and loved deeply — died suddenly.

Bringing her body back to Lebanon was a deeply traumatic experience. But at the time, no one spoke about trauma. Life simply moved on.

Shortly after arriving in Lebanon, I had to sit entrance exams to re-enter school. I remember staring at the exam paper… unable to process anything.

Unsurprisingly, I failed.

I was placed a year lower in the literary stream — a track often reserved for students considered less academically gifted.

Months later, as I slowly recovered, my academic performance improved dramatically.

One teacher noticed something didn’t add up. He asked how someone performing at my level had ended up there.

When I explained the circumstances around my exam, he was outraged by what he called an injustice.

Without me even asking, he decided to advocate for me. He pushed the school administration to give me another chance: a new exam. If I pass, I can transfer to the scientific stream.

This time, I passed.

I will never forget his triumphant smile when he told me:
“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦.”

In that moment, I felt truly seen.

His intervention changed the trajectory of my education and opened doors that might otherwise have remained closed.

A few years ago, I reconnected with him on Facebook. He is retired now.

When I thanked him again and asked if he remembered me, his reply brought tears to my eyes:

“𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘙𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘢. 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦.”

In my work today as a coach and counsellor, I often think about people like him.

Sometimes all it takes is one person who sees your potential when life circumstances have temporarily knocked you off balance.

We all encounter these “guardian angels”.

And sometimes, through the work we do, we have the privilege of becoming that person for someone else.

Many people succeed not only because of talent, but because someone believed in them when they couldn’t believe in themselves.

I’d love to hear your story:

𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵?

One of the most common patterns I see in my coaching and counselling work is this:
People are very skilled at giving recognition to others — yet deeply uncomfortable giving recognition to themselves.

In Transactional Analysis, we use the term “Stroke” to refer to a unit of recognition, anything that acknowledges another person.

Strokes are essential for emotional well-being, social bonding, motivation, and psychological growth. We do engage in giving strokes to ourselves too in the form of self-talk, self-appreciation, and taking care of personal needs.

What I have observed is that people will acknowledge others’ efforts, kindness, and strengths with ease.
But when it comes to themselves, recognition is often:
🔸 minimised
🔸dismissed
🔸postponed (“I’ll feel good when I achieve X”)
🔸or replaced with self-criticism

Such behaviour patterns are often learned early in life.

Many of us grew up with messages like:
❌ “Don’t get a big head”
❌ “You have to earn praise”
❌ “Others come first”
❌ “Rest or appreciation is a reward, not a right”

So, we internalise the belief that self-recognition is not okay.

Over time, this can show up as:
🔸chronic self-doubt.
🔸overworking or people-pleasing.
🔸difficulty receiving compliments.
🔸seeking validation in ways that don’t truly nourish us.

In coaching and counselling, part of the work is gently expanding that stroke economy:
✅ learning to recognise yourself without conditions.
✅ noticing when old rules are running the show.
✅ practising healthier ways of giving and receiving recognition.

This isn’t about ego or entitlement.
It’s about meeting a very real human need — consciously, compassionately, and sustainably.

👉 Where in your life might you be withholding unconditional recognition from yourself — and what might change if you didn’t?

👉 How comfortable are you with receiving positive strokes without deflecting or minimising them?

You started your business, or your life in a new country, to create something meaningful.
So why do you sometimes feel drained, reactive, or unsure of yourself?

Living and working internationally can be exciting and deeply enriching. But it can also bring unexpected emotional and mental challenges.

New environments ask a lot from us.
New systems.
New cultural expectations.
Often a new language.

And while we’re busy adapting externally, something important can happen internally: under pressure, we tend to fall back on old coping strategies that were shaped by our personal history.

Strategies that once helped us survive, or belong, may now show up as:
🔸Saying yes when we actually mean no.
🔸Over-giving to others while side-lining our own needs.
🔸Doubting ourselves even when we are capable.
🔸Striving for perfection out of fear of being judged.
🔸Feeling reactive instead of grounded and intentional.

This is something I see often in my work as a coach and counsellor supporting internationals.

When we move across countries and cultures, we don’t leave our personal history behind. Our experiences, beliefs, and coping patterns travel with us. In unfamiliar environments, they can become even more visible.

The work I do with clients is about developing self-awareness around these patterns. Together we explore how past experiences may still shape current reactions, decisions, and relationships.

Because when you begin to understand your own patterns, something powerful happens.

💫You move from reacting automatically to responding with awareness.
💫From adapting out of fear to making choices from a place of autonomy.

This doesn’t mean life abroad, or running a purpose-driven career, suddenly becomes easy. But it does become clearer and more intentional.

One small practice I often share with clients is this:
When you notice yourself feeling overwhelmed or reactive, pause and ask yourself:
🤔What is really being triggered here?
🤔Is this about the present moment, or does it connect to an older story?

That moment of reflection can create just enough space to choose a different response.
And that’s where real change begins.

If you are living or working internationally, I’d be curious to hear:
💬 What has helped you stay grounded while navigating new environments?
