Most Muslim women don’t lack intelligence. They don’t lack ambition. They don’t lack faith. They lack training in how to lead conversations. So they grow up: over-explaining shrinking saying yes when they mean no avoiding difficult conversations feeling unheard… even when they’re capable Influence isn’t manipulation. It’s clarity in speech. And when a woman learns how to speak clearly: people respond differently respect rises opportunities open income expands her presence shifts Not because she became louder. Because she became clearer. This is a learnable skill. And once your words carry weight… everything changes. If this resonates, comment VOICE.

Today’s Coffee Chat was a gentle but powerful re-orientation as we look ahead to the month of Ramadan... not as a season of exhaustion, but as a season of presence, expansion, and beauty. We reflected on how Ramadan is not meant to be lived from the kitchen…but from the heart. Some of the practical and spiritual anchors we covered: • Designing Ramadan so women are not overextended in food preparation • Setting alarms 10 minutes before each salat to shut off the stove, reset, and prepare to stand fully present before Allah ﷻ • Feeding others with intention .. sponsoring iftars, feeding the hungry, giving quietly and generously • Ensuring that 15 minutes before Maghrib, everyone is seated, calm, and focused on dua - the dua of a fasting person- at one of the most auspicious moments of the day We also spoke about using Ramadan as a release point: • Letting go of beliefs that no longer serve you • Releasing outdated inner narratives • Choosing one new belief to carry you from this Ramadan to the next Not 100 changes One aligned belief - lived for 11 months. Then we reflected on the Name of Allah ﷻ: Al-Basit - The Expander. The One who: • widens hearts • expands provision • stretches mercy • amplifies generosity • opens space where there once felt tight Connected to: • Al-Karim - expanding generosity • Al-Wadud - expanding love • Ar-Raḥman - expanding mercy We spoke about integrating Al-Basit into daily dhikr- not to rush expansion, but to receive it with steadiness. Ramadan is not about constriction. It is about holy expansion. May Allah ﷻ expand your heart, your time, your generosity, and your nearness to Him - and may this Ramadan be majestic, spacious, and deeply present.

There comes a moment in a woman’s life where she gets sick and tired of her own excuses. Not lazy excuses. Not ignorant excuses. The polite, socially acceptable ones. She’s tired of: • Other people deciding what’s possible • Staying “grateful” inside ceilings • Calling average “enough” • Explaining away her own desires Yes … maybe she’s making good money. Yes …. maybe the bills are paid. Yes …. maybe others would trade places with her. But something inside her knows: “This isn’t the level I was built for.” That’s the moment. The turning point. The SWITCH. Not when circumstances change.. but when the recipe changes. Because the truth is brutal and freeing: If you keep using the same recipe, you keep getting the same results. New income requires a new internal authority. New wealth requires a nervous system that can hold it. New expansion requires a woman who no longer negotiates with her own fear. And when she’s done? Truly done? She stops tweaking. She stops waiting. She stops explaining. She changes the recipe. And everything changes with her. Raise your hand if you have arrived at that moment?
