LET'S TALK HEALTH

Hey you, it's Bushra. I know it has been a while but I am back with some changes and a new space. Sometimes or truthfully most of the time we impose limitations on our self that restrict us from reaching our full potential and preventing us from our own growth. We are all victims of this, whether you know it or not. So tune in to hear more and update you on my personal experience. P.S. Let's learn, grow and become together. Bushra xoxo    

In this episode, I reflect on my journey in the last few months and so, since graduating from my Masters and share my personal experience with studies, job hunting etc. I talk about the things I have learnt and the journey of my dreams slowly becoming reality. So tune in for more!

We've all experience anxiety in different forms and for different reasons and it can have a large impact on our lives if not addressed. In this episode, I talk about and share my personal experience with anxiety and how it affected my physical health and the key things I took from this experience that I believe are important to remember.    

It's so easy to overthink and get overwhelmed when setting goals and focusing on the big goals as we work towards them, that sometimes we get lost in the midst of it all. And that's okay, it happens. It sure has happened to me several times. But we can refocus and make it easier for ourselves by breaking everything down into smaller steps and using these as our milestones to success.

In this episode, Bushra shares a personal story and her self-healing journey over the last few years with grief and PTSD. She hopes this episode allows you to not only learn more about herself and her experiences in life but encourages you to the do the inner work and the shadow work to truly heal yourself, your past traumas and hardships in life.
