An Affair With Life

Healing is hard but I want to help you enjoy every step of the journey

about.
Meet your 28 year old citizen of the world, with Arab roots, a Latin soul, and a European heart. I've always been very passionate about life, writing, food, travel, and helping people where the core of my motivation has always been seeking experiences and making a difference.
​
Throughout my life, I have struggled with belonging, where I would constantly feel like I could never fully identify with myself even when I had it all. I went about unconsciously living off of external validation and the pressure of expectations and mastery of perfectionism. I sought to be the "good girl" who never broke the rules or took chances, and in doing that, I deprived myself a voice.
I put everyone first and found myself harboring resentment and internalizing my anger for everything that would not go as planned. I lived with the erroneous thought of waiting on something special and exciting to happen to fix my situation, and until that happened, I lived a victim mentality who thought everything about life was so unfair because a nice person didn't deserve this.
​
I battled self-worth issues, compulsive behaviors, unexpected financial struggles that led to a total lifestyle change, unfulfilled dreams, and an inexplicable emptiness and uncontrollable negativity.
I appeared to have the life most people dreamed of, but I was miserable on the inside. I chased materialism and superficiality because it was the only thing readily available for me. But it was never enough.
​
I wanted to touch lives, inspire people, and make a positive impact in the world but I didn't believe in myself. One day, I was almost stripped of everything and I took it as a lesson to humble myself but I felt that same irritating void that I thought falling in love with someone would fix.
​
I finally let my guard down and decided to take a risk for love, and it went from being the most beautiful to the most painful thing that has ever happened to me.
Failing in the name of love was my wake-up call.
​
​
One day after having questioned myself for years, an epiphany saved my life and united me with my true calling- to help people
I was stuck in a vicious cycle that I just couldn't seem to define where I was doing nothing but mindlessly giving and draining myself- I had no love leftover for myself and I used to think that was okay, as long as everyone around me was happy. The odds defied me and I had to witness a traumatizing experience from the person I loved most to shatter to the cracks before finally lifting myself up.
Today I masterfully say that happiness, in its purest and rawest form, can only be attained when you learn how to fall unconditionally in love with yourself.
I've fought so many silent battles that have revealed to me a strength and resilience I never even knew was within me. This is me giving my little girl dream of saving the world a shot, because finally believing in myself has made me even more passionate to believe in you. This is me turning my pain into power to help you realign with your true self.
​
I know that the time is running and I don't want you to live your life in regrets or wondering what you could have done differently.
​
I've learnt it's all about relishing in the moment and surrendering to the unknown, and I'm here to guide you how.
​
It all starts with self-love and I want to take you on this life-changing journey to reach your fullest potential!
