Yani’s Corner

The road to becoming HER was never going to be a straight line. 🤍

There will be setbacks.
Detours.
Moments of doubt.
Plans that don’t work out.
Times when you feel like you’re starting all over again.

But resilience isn’t about avoiding the hard parts.

It’s learning, adjusting, growing — and choosing to keep moving forward.

Maybe you’re not starting again.
Maybe you’re starting from experience.

NOTE TO SELF 🤍

Setbacks are okay.

Starting over is not failure.

Missing a day doesn’t mean you’ve ruined your progress.

You don’t have to wait for Monday.

You don’t have to wait for a new month.

You can simply begin again today.

Progress isn’t about never falling off track.

It’s about learning how to come back to yourself. 🌿

Save this for the days you need the reminder. 🤍

Everything fell apart at 14.

I don’t always have the right words for grief.

My dad was my best friend and one of my biggest inspirations. Losing him at 14 changed everything I thought I knew about life, safety, and love. My hero, my dad — Allah ya Rahma 🤍

For a long time, I believed I had to “heal” from it… like there would eventually be a version of me that no longer felt it.

But that’s not how it works.

I’ve learned that grief doesn’t disappear — you learn how to carry it differently.

I still miss him at every milestone. Every moment where I think, I wish he was here to see this.

For years, I tried different ways of coping. I tried to ignore my grief. I tried to talk about it. I tried to fill the gap by getting closer to others, even my uncles, looking for that sense of safety again.

But nothing ever felt right.

It wasn’t until much later that I realised it wasn’t about replacing what I lost… it was about changing my mindset.

A shift in how I saw myself. A shift in how I carried the pain. A shift in how I chose to show up for myself.

I’ve learned to give that love back to myself.

Self-love is stronger than any love anyone else can give you, because it stays with you through every loss, every setback, and every season of life.

People often say “it’s part of life”, “it gets easier”, or “stay strong”… but as a child, that makes no sense. And even as an adult, it doesn’t always make it feel any lighter.

This is for anyone who has lost someone they love — you are not alone.

Being emotional is not a weakness. Missing someone deeply is just love that has nowhere else to go.

And losing someone doesn’t mean everyone else will leave too.

It just means you learn, slowly, how to stay open again.

It’s taken me over 20 years to reach a place where I can finally say I understand it now.

Not because the grief is gone — but because I’ve learned how to live beside it.

❤️

1988 me would look at 2026 me and finally realise… we survived the things we never spoke about. 🤍

The little girl in me spent years believing she had to stay strong, stay quiet, overthink everything, and carry emotions nobody else could see.

Now I’m learning that healing is not becoming someone new.
It’s returning to the version of yourself that deserved love, safety, softness, and understanding from the very beginning.

Some people grow up carrying survival mode into adulthood without even realising it.
People pleasing. Hyper independence. Fear of rejection. Struggling to rest. Feeling emotionally exhausted while smiling through it all.

Healing begins when you stop blaming yourself for the coping mechanisms that once protected you. ✨

PCOS healing isn’t linear.

Some days with PCOS feel like you’re doing everything right… and still not seeing change.

The weight that won’t shift.
The fatigue that doesn’t match your effort.
The fertility worries you carry quietly in the background of your life.

The hair changes no one really prepares you for.
And still trying to show up in a world that tells you beauty should look a certain way.

Then there’s the advice:
“Just eat better.”
“Just exercise more.”

As if you haven’t already been trying. Consistently. Quietly. Repeatedly.

And sometimes, even in medical spaces… you don’t feel fully heard.
Not always guided through what actually works for your body.
Just general advice that doesn’t always feel personalised.

So it starts to feel like a reflection on you.
Your discipline.
Your consistency.
Your effort.

But hear this clearly:

You are not failing your body.
Your body is communicating with you.

PCOS healing is not a straight line.
It’s learning.
It’s adjusting.
It’s unlearning shame.
And coming back into understanding your body instead of fighting it.

If this feels like your story, you’re not alone.

I spend so much of my life in my head — building, planning, helping others, pushing forward…

But this?
This is where I switch off.

No pressure.
No expectations.
No noise.

Just being present.

It’s crazy how something so simple can quiet your mind in a way nothing else does.

A reminder that slowing down isn’t falling behind… it’s necessary.

And sometimes, the things that help you the most are the ones you didn’t even know you needed.

Grateful for the people who introduce you to new ways of healing 🤍
thank you for this.

Hijama isn’t a trend for me… it’s part of how I help people heal.

Because I see it every day
people carrying stress in their bodies,
feeling drained, heavy, and disconnected…
and not knowing where to start.

That’s where this comes in.

✨ Releasing built up tension
✨ Supporting circulation and recovery
✨ Creating space for your body to reset

This isn’t just about the physical marks…
it’s about how you feel after.

Lighter.
Clearer.
More in control.

And as a coach, I don’t believe in surface level healing.
We work on the mind and the body because you can’t truly move forward if your body is still holding everything in.

If you’ve been feeling:
– Stressed or overwhelmed
– Physically tense (especially neck, shoulders, back)
– Low energy or burnt out

This might be exactly what your body needs.

I’m now offering hijama sessions 🤍
DM me “HIJAMA” or click the link in my bio to book your session.

Life is not easy… but every day you have a choice: stay stuck or take one step forward.
And that one step? That’s where everything begins.
