Bonus Episode: Transforming pain into an extraordinary life

Welcome back to another episode of the #MoneyMagic podcast.

Today I welcome Shazia Imam to the show to have a conversation about her life journey and how she grew from desiring a typical standard life of marriage, kids, and a white picket fence to breaking through to her true self. 

Shazia is the daughter of two loving Indian parents, born and raised in the U.S. but brought up with traditional Indian values. 

Growing up, Shazia followed a life path by the book; she excelled in school, got into a good university, graduated as an Engineer, got married, and had a beautiful son. 

Yet, after a series of unfortunate events, Shazia lost it all - her son passed on and her husband left soon after. Shazia found herself alone for the first time, feeling like an empty vessel with suicidal ideation. But flowers always grow from the ashes.

During her most major life-altering events, Shazia discovered the power within herself, the power of connection, collaboration, and natural power – all geared towards femininity. 

This resurgence of self gave her the inspiration she needed to come into her power and dive into the paradigm of the feminine. From this, her podcast Feminine and Fulfilled was born. 

Shazia knew that she wanted to help women thrive, but she couldn’t do it with a podcast alone; she needed the skill to back it up. So, she took a chance and invested US$14,000 in a leadership retreat. 

Having never spent this amount of money on herself, Shazia felt guilty but determined, and now being on the other side of that, Shazia discovered that life-changing events like these go beyond price.

Today Shazia is a successful life coach and podcaster; her vision to help women is laser-focused, and her relationship with the divine is unmatched!
