Emotional Independence - A Reflection:

Yesterday, when Aleeza mentioned that we should talk about emotional independence, something instantly clicked for me.

I felt excited not because it’s a trendy topic, but because it’s something I’ve quietly struggled with for most of my life, without having a name for it.

Looking back, I realize how often I lived in one-sided emotions whether in friendships, family, or relationships. I constantly needed validation, appreciation, or reassurance to feel “enough.”

And while that need is very human, I now understand how much power I was unknowingly giving away.

For the first time, I’m learning that when someone doesn’t appreciate you, it doesn’t automatically mean you lack value.

It simply means they may not have the capacity, awareness, or alignment to see you and that’s not a verdict on your worth.

This topic matters deeply to me because emotional independence isn’t about becoming detached or cold. It’s about learning to stand with yourself even when others don’t.

It’s about understanding that your self-worth doesn’t rise or fall based on someone else’s response.

I’m grateful that this space allows us to talk about things that are often overlooked, especially for women.

I’m really looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and learning together through this conversation. I will be sharing more information about this topic In sha Allah. Looking forward to the session on Monday with
