Hello guys! 🫶 let me share something important that I saw in myself and in my clients too. Any time I’ve tried to build from “should,” from proving, from survival, from pressure… I can do it for a while. It looks good on the outside, right? Because these people, from which that "should" came, are the ones who are now nodding their heads (usually it's family, any other authority or society in general). But what about your soul? Your real desires? Your truth and authenticity? simply put, this decision always costs something internally — and eventually it turns into burnout. What changed for me was learning how to return to myself first without lying to myself or without any performance.Then align what’s been misaligned (values, pace, boundaries, what I actually want). And then, only then… expand. Return ➡ Align ➡ Expand And I’m seeing this pattern with clients too. When they stop forcing growth from a stressed-out identity and start building from truth, many things becomes clearer: - decisions get simpler and more natural (because they're aligned with their intuition, especially women) - boundaries stop feeling “mean” - energy stabilizes - & growth actually sticks - their means of income start to be effortless It’s wild how often the “missing strategy” is just: quiet time + honest conversations + a few questions you don’t rush past. Curious — have you felt misaligned recently? Like you’re building something successful, but it’s not coming from your real values anymore? (If you want to share: what’s the biggest sign for you that you’re out of alignment?)

My name is Shadman, I am in my mid-20s. I am someone who can be known as a third cultured kid, I was raised in one place, I consume a certain type of content and culture, and my parents from a whole different place. I have had the privilege of living abroad by myself, that broadened my sense of responsibility and horizon. I would say 2025 was a revolutionary year, where it was out with the old, and in with the new. I have uprooted my previous life, identity, and incompatible friends and laid a new foundation for my next formative years. Moving into 2026 is building onto that foundation. Brother Dino came at the perfect time across the social media space, where I knew exactly what to do, when to do. He puts it in an excellent and introspective manner. I am optimistic and hopeful that this great year, will be full of great opportunities and success. Future is bright at the horizon. P.S. And just like Dino, I had also dropped out of university. It was a critical time, when we didn’t know anything to do, but at the time was a necessary lever to pull. But Alhamdulillah, by the grace of God, I have more clarity, humility, and better sense of direction, as I look back to return to university.

Today was my first day attempting the 5 min video journal.I played it back to watch my body language and what I’m struggling on. I notice I repeat my words and second guess what I’m saying sometimes. Also, I tried using less filler words and take pauses when I talk. So far day 1 complete hopeful in time I’ll see a difference.
