Raise Your Vibes Podcast

Send us a textThis is a special podcast in support of Podcasthon and the various charities that are out there in our wider community needing support and help. I decided to speak in support of helping the charity 'Lift every child foundation'.Education for me was very challenging despite growing up in the United Kingdom I personally faced various difficulties and roadblocks due to parental and cultural and societal pressures. I speak about these challenges in some depth and how I continued to persevere to not only teach English but also Special Educational needs. In 2025 our Education system worldwide needs help. Education has faced massive budget cuts, some schools barely even get funding or face closure or struggle to even have basics. So what can we do to help? Tune in to find out more.Support the showThank you for your support. Your host Miriam Khan @ Raise Your Vibes.

Send us a textIn today's podcast I interview special guest Hamza Twaha Bwambale from the Nadir Foundation based in Uganda. The Nadir Foundation is a Charitable Community based organisation which operates largely in the Kasese district in Western Uganda. The Nadir Foundation aims to support and help the poor community that it is surrounded by through various support and need of external help.We discuss in some great depth the amazing progress and support that the Nadir Foundation provides to the local community but it also greatly needs more financial support as they assist with wider issues such as education, building religious facilities to support the Muslim community, helping with medical facilities and helping local children as well as orphans.Nadir Foundation would greatly benefit from external help and support and if you would like to donate then please contact the organisation via the details below: https://nadirfoundation.orgTelephone Number:  +256-784-596475Email Contact details: nadirfoundation09@gmail.comP.O.

Send us a textSo many people these days say out loud 'that's a red flag right there, but are you so blind you didn't see it? How could you not see it? It was so damn clear?'.Many of us who have grown up with 'unnormal', 'unloved', 'traumatic' childhoods see the 'average' red flag as a normal consistent daily way of being, largely this is because we know no different. We don't know that this behaviour we have become accustomed to is so irrational, wrong, tormentive and abusive because we have perceived it to be 'normal' duties or declarations of 'love' but it's the least thing from that. I explore what our 'warped vision of love' makes us accept and why we go along with these 'red flags' that are visible to others but somehow invisible to us.To anyone healing from this, sending you much love, blessings and healing. Support the showThank you for your support.

Send us a textThis was a video podcast which I had recorded previously and felt it was important to have it as a digital podcast.With the Global impact of Covid 19 many people are finding themselves, lost torn, betrayed, confused and angry by the government or the political system around them. Now is the time to join a Trade Union if you aren't a part of one because they are they to help and support you into having a voice. This is my personal story of how the NASUWT in the UK helped me find my voice. Can a union help you find yours to make a change?Support the showThank you for your support.

Send us a textHave you been in a position where you were meant to be the child and instead had to be the 'grown up' instead? Did you have to 'take care' of the 'adult' that is supposed to 'look' after you? Were you the 'grown up' taking care of siblings and doing adult type responsibilities? Did you have to grow up 'quicker' than others due to additional roles that really a child of your age shouldn't be doing?These are some of the issues I raise in today's podcast. In our world we may not recognise that we were in fact the parentified child, or perhaps we might not recognise some of the signs and later impact on us as adults in our relationships as we grow.Support the showThank you for your support.

Send us a text          How do you overcome obstacles in your life? How do you persevere when life just keeps on giving you more grief? This is my recount of such a challenge I faced in my youth and how it moulded me into the person I am today.     I recount on an older video podcast on how I struggled with a physical disability and how it changed my life forever. I was a very active child, always into sports and to one day have that taken away from you without notice or even an understanding of what was happening to my young body was very alarming and confusing.      I explore how this physical pain changed my life forever resulting in eventually having a total left hip replacement at age 21 which back in those days was unheard of.Tune in and listen to my heartfelt podcast which I hope supports others facing medical issues.Blessings to all suffering from any bad health.Support the showThank you for your support.

Send us a textThis was a video podcast I did several years ago and I felt it was important to have it recorded as an audio podcast.           When I was aged 18 years old I had sadly failed my A-Levels and found myself in a very difficult position of having to resit and redo my whole A-Levels again. I had missed years of school on and off due to being in and out of hospital since the age of ten facing some paralysis and various health issues to my left leg without a real diagnosis much later on in my life. Ironically doing my GCSEs was a breeze despite missing so much school and I outshined my male cousins in comparison but not when it came to the A-Levels.         Due to this reason, I pestered my strict Muslim Pathan father permission to apply for a job. This might seem 'normal' to some of you but back in those days Asian women did not, I repeat did not work! After much persuasion he finally allowed me to apply for a job and none of us thought anything of it since I applied many, and I mean many months ago. That is, till I got that home phone call that would change my life and the people around me in ways I hadn't imagined.          My dearest mother broke the rules that day and gave me the 30-pence bus fair to allow me to go to the huge shopping centre that had only just opened up in 1990. I recall seeing the demolishing of East Hecla Works of Hadfields Ltd as Meadowhall became the first largest shopping Mall within the United Kingdom. Little did I imagine that I would end up working there as the first person of colour, let alone as a Disabled Muslim female who was from a Pathan background.     The job not only changed me, but it changed many people in the community around me.Tune in to my podcast and discover why.Thank you for your support folks.Support the showThank you for your support.

Send us a textThis podcast is a tribute to the beautiful soul of Khaled Nabhan. Sadly the world woke up to the news of his tragic death today and we cannot fathom the fact that he has gone.Our world was introduced to the beautiful soul of Khaled Nabhan when we watched him lose the love of his life; his grandchildren, in particular his beautiful granddaughter Reem. We witnessed him grieve over the loss of the beautiful Reem and as time passed we kept hearing his words of loss as he kept saying 'Soul of my soul' as he slowly came to terms with the loss of his precious granddaughter. Many of us looked up to Khaled, we watched him rebuild his life. We watched him stand for justice, peace, love, kindness and faith. He witnessed him care and show compassion to others in Palestine despite losing everything himself.We hope and pray for peace in Palestine.Prayers to your family and for your soul.We lost a great man today, but you will forever be in our hearts.Artwork: Folkloren_Instagram for Khaled Nabhan: @khaledmnabhannSupport the showThank you for your support.

Send us a Text Message.How many of us sit in silence because we enjoy it, or because we want peace? Do we know how to enjoy the silence around us or do we find it difficult to be at peace within ourselves let alone around us? How do we even use this solitude time to enjoy our own comforts without the attachment to modern technology or the pressures of a job etc around us? Do we even know how to be at peace within and outside ourselves? Many of us in the modern world we live in today find it increasingly difficult to 'switch off' and 'just be'. I discuss the idea of solitude in some depth whilst travelling through China. Support the Show.Thank you for your support. Your host Miriam Khan @ Raise Your Vibes.

Subscriber-only episodeWelcome to the very first exclusive subscriber podcast episode for Raise Your Vibes.  Thank you for subscribing.In our first episode, I discuss at length the very tricky and challenging circumstances of a difficult marriage, how it became difficult, how I tried to endure it and finally what made me leave it. I also discuss how I tried to rebuild my life but despite various setbacks, a very toxic ex-partner would not let me be in peace - not just him but the whole 'gang' of relatives.I hope this helps others in a similar situation as it has taken me years to be able to tell my 'truth' not the 'narrative'...my truth and that is something we all should voice but often it is done in very difficult circumstances.Love, peace and respect to all.Blessings,Miriam KhanPodcast Host of Raise Your VibesThank you for your support.

This podcast comes with a Trigger warning as it may be sensitive for some listeners. When we are born we come with history. History of our generational family members and ancestors. We are somewhat proud of some of their achievements and goals but what we never perhaps discuss is some of the shame and trauma situations they have endured and we in turn inherit. There are trauma situations that they have sadly gone through and not spoken about or kept hidden for numerous generations till one day someone in the ancestral timeline decides to face; rather than bury it.It is not easy to be the 'black sheep' of the family. The 'ostracised' one. The 'crazy' one. the one that does not bow to the rules but instead goes on a self-healing journey within to heal the traumas from their past in order to help the family lineage to be finally at ease. But all of this requires in-depth self-reflection and breaking of numerous forged old patterns that even we don't realise we hold, but we certainly do; either innately or inherently. When we heal within; we heal all parts of our timeline. We help those in the spirit world who have been helping us along the way to progress rather than hinder. We help those who never spoke of their trauma heal once and for all.Blessings and healing for all impacted by this topic.Support the Show.Thank you for your support. Your host Miriam Khan @ Raise Your Vibes.

When we cut out a friendship or romantic part of our life the other individual doesn't like the fact that we put boundaries in place and have now 'cast them out'.  We often do this to protect our mental health and to preserve our own guards as their energy may no longer resonate with ours or to put it simply; they're toxic.When we stand back and look after ourselves these 'exes' whether it be an ex-friend or more will often cyber stalk us. A lot of the time it is because they miss our supply of energy and are curious as to what we are doing. Some cyberstalkers can just like our posts on social media but there are others who despite blocking and cutting out of our lives persistently like to attack, harass or try to or succeed in making our lives a misery. So what can we do about this as it happens to us? This is the topic of today's podcast and hopefully, it helps someone out there going through a similar situation.Support the showThank you for your support. Your host Miriam Khan @ Raise Your Vibes.

What exactly is 'Shadow work'? What does it evolve? How does it help us learn about our core self? How can it help us deal with post-traumatic events in our lives? How can it help us deal with the subconscious facts we often hide from ourselves? How can it help us overall be a better person not for society but for ourselves? What are the steps involved in doing shadow work correctly?These are some of the questions I focus on in this podcast as Shadow work is something I personally have gone through and continue to go through to become a better human being and spiritual person in this ever-evolving world that we live in.This podcast may support others out there if life has gotten tough and we need to go back into hermit mode to re-learn about ourselves and help ourselves to evolve for the better in our life journeys.Support the showThank you for your support.

With so many catastrophic events occurring in our world, many of us have either chosen to remain silent due to the horrific things we have sadly witnessed or have remained silent out of fear of losing our jobs or being labelled as racist or being on the wrong side of history. But isn't the right side of history meant to be on the side of justice? Doing what's right for example? And how do we know what is actually the right side of justice when there is so much propaganda out there drowning us with misinformation?Those of us who have stood up for Palestine have done so proudly, and at times it has cost us in many various ways, but no journey towards doing the right thing is without sacrifice is it?I discuss in some length ways in which we can help offer our support to Palestine.Support the show

So many of us in our lives accept very little from the ones we like, adore, appreciate and even 'love'. This is called 'breadcrumbs' or the act of 'breadcrumbing', but what does that actually mean?Breadcrumbing is the act of little attention, little actions and very little acts of 'real love' or interest but as an individual we become hooked or addicted to receiving or accepting so little in return in our relationships or even friendships.So how do we recognise what 'breadcrumbing is? How do we seek help to spot the things we are doing to 'accept' that as being aceptable behaviour? How do we recover and heal from it so that we realise our own self-worth and self-love?These are the topics I discuss in today's important podcast.Wishing all a blessed healing journey.Support the show

Many of us sometimes have to face old patterns of our behaviour and it's often difficult to shred or remove that 'old skin' that has kept us trapped or kept us in a particular trauma bond or pattern without us realising it. We think we have done the hard work and difficult work of healing and often we do either on a temporary basis or a permanent basis but alas there are still parts of that trauma or pain or pattern that lingers on.In this podcast I  delve into this deep topic as well as the spiritual journey of shadow work, inner child work and re-awakening as well as awakening.Blessings to those going through this big vibrational shift; may we come out the other side fully healed.Support the show

Trigger Warning: This podcast may trigger some individuals as it discusses sensitive topics. Please seek professional help and understand that you are not on your own.There are so many of us that talk about the topic of 'shame' and from culture to culture this very notion or understanding of what shame is will vary. But what happens when that notion of shame stems from unresolved or undisclosed trauma or broken relationships where the other individual has caused us some form of shame that we dare not discuss or disclose due to fear of rejection, pain, humiliation or not being believed? Should we be the ones carrying this 'shame' when really, we are not the ones at 'fault'? What can we do to change this?These are the sensitive topics that I will be discussing in today's podcast. If you are impacted by this or know anyone that is please help them to seek professional guidance.Wishing you a healthy road to recovery and mental health and well being.Support the show

Do you have someone in your life who always seems to be depleting your energy and no matter what you do, you always end up drained, fatigued and at a loss as to why that might be? Perhaps you are in the early stages of recognising the signs but can't quite put your finger on what you're noticing, but clearly, there is something a bit off with this friendship or relationship, but what is it? It could simply be that this individual is an energy vampire and you were not aware of it. So what is an energy vampire? What are the characteristics of such a person? How do we deal with them if they are in our lives and how can we tactfully remove ourselves away from them?Tune in to find out!Support the show

When entering a relationship whether it is a marriage or a long-term serious relationship it goes without saying that we make bonds of trust and mutual respect in our relationship journey. But what happens when one of us cheats on the other? Why does the individual cheat? What impact does this have on the other person when they find out? How can they repair the relationship if they try? Or how does the other person move forward, grieve and then heal in order to move forward?These are today's topics in the podcast today.Support the show

For many of us that believe in spiritual connections we have many types of relationships in our lives. We go through various friendships and partnerships that we either embrace or reject and some of us are inclined to label these relationships as different life lessons in our soul journey. We have karmic journeys, twin flame journeys and soul mates but what happens when we mistakingly assume that the person we are involved with is not our true love but in fact a false twin flame in disguise? How did we get so duped? Were there any signs that we missed and what can we do to heal from this situation once we 'wake up' and see them for who they truly are?Support the show

We all have various relationships in our life that either mould us, enhance us or break us. A narcissist is a catalyst in being an expert in 'breaking' people's souls, spirits, mental health and well-being. But what happens when that narcissist is a covert narcissist? One that studies you, one that goes out of their way to win you over but then bit, by bit, tries to take you down and destroy you over the time of your relationship? What if you're the empath that they are either dating or are married to? What is your role in this relationship? How do you as an empath survive this ordeal and how do you heal fully and recover? How do you start again?This is the topic of today's podcast.Thanks for tuning in folks....Support the show

On today's podcast, I interview myself on my remarkable journey of being involved with the joint book adventure "She is Remarkable" with 27 other authors.  I explain why I decided to get involved with a joint book adventure despite being a self-published author.  My published chapter is called "The Final Glance" on page 111 of the book 'She is Remarkable'.  It was a very difficult yet cathartic chapter that I wrote as I divulged in some very deep and emotional pain through a very traumatic divorce.  I discuss why this was so important to share with others despite finding it initially very difficult to share. Upon reflection, it helped not only myself but others also on their healing journey as not everyone truly understands divorce and the implications involved.Here are ways to contact me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-khan-b2baba170/Instagram: Raise_yourvibesAmazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Miriam-Khan/author"She is Remarkable" Book link for purchase:https://uae.kinokuniya.com/bw/9789948801948Or visit the  Kinokuniya Book store located in Dubai Mall, Dubai.Information regarding Mena Speakers:https://mena-speakers.com/Email: info@mena-speakers.com#SheIsRemarkableBookSupport the show

Do you ever notice how your energy or gut feeling changes when you are around certain people? Do you feel drained or energised by it? Do you do anything about it as and when it happens?I discuss how we can protect our aura briefly and what we can do to help protect ourselves from the energy around us.Support the show

When dealing with trauma or with someone who is in a very conflicting situation which is clearly toxic or unhealthy we can all try to assist, support or help this person to leave their traumatic situation. Sometimes the person go back; they go back to the trauma, back to the pain, back to the difficult and toxic situation which they have desperately tried to leave. Sometimes this is due to family conflicts, financial restraints or ties or simply because they cannot break or do not want to break the pattern of trauma that they find themselves in.For the person supporting them; the love can go on endlessly no matter how exhausting it can be seeing a loved one go through that turmoil or in some cases the unconditional love has  got to stop and those helping have to walk away for good. This isn't an easy decision to make but we often have to do what is right for our peace of mind if we are the one deciding to stop supporting them and cut ties once and for all.Whatever the situation happens to be just know that sometimes the difficult reality is that we cannot help everyone...and not everyone we know really wants to leave their situation, we have to let them be and move on as harsh as that might sound.

Trauma for any of us is understandably something which takes a long time to recover from whether it is psychological, emotional, physical or mental trauma. It sadly comes in many forms. We often don't realise the true and deep impact of such a traumatic  incident in our life till it happens to us. We can take years to recover; sometimes not fully recovering at all. Many people around us; family and friends try to help us along the way but the person we need the most to help us fully recover is ourselves and often that's the hard part of the journey.  We struggle to recognise that we need help; sometimes we are still 'trapped in a trauma state' not fully recognising that we have actually left the place that caused us trauma in the first place. It might often need a stranger to fully pull us out of the bear trap that we have unconsciously an subconsciously trapped ourselves in. This podcast is a reminder for many who still find themselves trapped in past trauma; past pain; past hurt and unable to move 'forward'. I hope and pray you realise your worth and your are able to start 'living' again. Big Blessings.Miriam via @RaiseYourVibes

Today's podcast is with the legendary, motivational and inspiring young man Mohammad Al-Bahar; a global citizen and spiritual guy who discusses in some depth his very early diagnosis with diabetes. We discuss in detail some of the mental health issues that arose due to this especially as an ethnic minority male. Mohammad like many other individuals struggled to cope with accepting his diagnosis and we discuss how  he moved past this taboo subject in his culture and traditions of his community and how he has managed his condition in his adulthood life. This is certainly a chapter of Mohammad's life that many people can relate to and will find immensley inspirational.Mohammad has used this life situation to not only help himself but also to help serve others. He has made massive changes within and outside of his local community.  Mohammad has been the driving force to change concepts about diabetes within and outside of the Muslim community and has networked with various individuals of all ages worldwide  to raise both awareness and also bring awareness to others about living with diabetes.Mohammad has travelled the world and focused on showing individuals how to live beyond your limitations and not allow a medical condition like diabetes hold you back; this is understandably very inspirational and life changing for many to witness. Mohammad is an icon too many globally and internationally. He is a beacon of hope and wonder and I am sure that Mohammad is bound to go onto do amazing things with his life and I am sure we will all be witness to the great success he will bring to his life and the lives of many others.Thank you ever so much Mohammad for sharing your journey with us all.Blessings and Peace.Miriam@RaiseYourVibesTo contact Mohammad please find him via the following sites:Mohammad founded league of diatheletes  which can be found here:  https://instagram.com/leagueofdiatheletes?igshidMohammad's Diabetes ambassador program:https://instagram.com/diabetes_ambassadors_program?igshid=YMTA2M2Y=Diabetes Ambassador Website:http://www.almajlistv.com/66049841 Mohammad's Personal  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thediabetictraveler?igshid=ymMyMTA2M2Y=ASICS Front Runnerhttps://instagram.com/acisfrontrunner?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Mohammad's Tedx Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTjivDRQX90 

On today's show I am pleased to have the amazing and very talented guest Mayyar Aswad. Mayyar is a local artist in Kuwait who has gone from strength to strength on his difficult but rewarding journey of finding himself as an artist. Mayyar has submerged himself into discovering and culminating  his artistic flair and ambience of his unique artistic viewpoint and creativity and boldly shared it with the world.We both discussed the modern day challenges of our personal lives and how it has moulded us to become more assertive and find ourselves again as we strip back the layers that society, our family and community have placed upon us. We talk in some depth about mental health; the challenges young males and in particular young budding artists face as we finally tell the world that this is 'us'. This is our 'art'!We are the artist of our dreams....we are the captain of our own ships as we steer our inclusive art and minds in a particular direction to pursue our dreams and make them a reality. We discuss the huge challenges that we both faced as artists and how Mayyar has used that dark place of challenging life circumstances to come out and blossom as an amazing artist that has not only helped himself; but also others around him.Mayyar and I discuss the impact of life lessons as well as our spiritual and life lessons that we have faced when trying to discover our true path in life.Mayyar is now successfully running some amazing projects including some workshops which you can become involved in by clicking below to get involved:https://www.behance.net/mayyaraswa71b2If you wish to view some of Mayyar's artwork on Instagram then please find his link below to give him a follow:https://www.instagram.com/mayyaraswad/?hl=enA huge thank you for Mayyar and his dedicated time for recording this Podcast; which I am sure won't be the last one we record together.

Many of us hold onto fear of the unknown or we try to limit our beliefs or abilities either due to a lack of self confidence or from the rejection or criticism of others which have sadly left an imprint on our minds, hearts and soul! I say...be fearless and be limitless and go and seek your future by trying out new things! As Tupac would say 'Holler if you hear me!'Stay blessed folks!Miriam

Sadly many of us have had quite the emotional rollercoaster style relationship with a narcissist but when it ends there is still emotional turmoil because they are experts at love bombing us, gaslighting us or using our emotions to one way or another 'persuade' us to go back to them. it can be very difficult to totally move forward after this draining experience and some of us 'lucky ones' fund we are able to do this and slowly heal.However, just as feel we are really healing or moving forward with our lives along the narcissist comes back when we least expect them to make their moves. Have we grown stronger emotionally and mentally to resist their 'charms'? Have we learnt to put ourselves first? Have we learnt to keep saying that word 'no' because we know we deserve so much better and deserve to heal fully and not partially?I discuss all of the above and how to help yourself move forward on your journey of healing.

One of my most downloaded Podcasts has been the one relating to a toxic sibling which we all know can be very difficult thing to deal with but what happens when that toxic sibling decides to get back in touch when you have made it clear that you don't want them to do so?How do we deal with this? What strategies can we use to overcome any difficulties that may arise due to this? How can we move forward or heal from any issues that may arise ?These are just some of the issues I discuss in today's podcast.

When we are deeply involved in our friendships, close friendship circles or even in our close, loving relationships we sometimes need to take 'a break' this might be due to personal circumstances such as bereavement, loss, changes in jobs, changes in our careers or life might have just got a tad too hectic and stressful that we need a 'time out' from our issues and from people. Sometimes we just need time to reassess the situation and at times we need to just work on ourselves; either way the time apart can be difficult for some of our inner circle of close loved ones to understand.I discuss the above issues in today's podcast and explore these topics in depth.

In various stages of a relationship we all face that anxiety, heart fleeting moments or butterflies of getting to know somebody and make a decision as to whether we wish to pursue some form of relationship with them. But often this can also be quite troubling too! Sometimes when we desire somebody or find them attractive or have feelings for them we might find ourselves in various stages of chasing, ghosting, running or facing that relationship. We sometimes might not recognise that we do the above stages in our relationships but we are all guilty of some of these stages one way or another. What happens to us when we are on the receiving end of the above stages though? Why are we ghosted when we simply like someone or express how we feel? How can we stop chasing, or in fact why are we chasing? Why is the person we like running away from us and what can we do about it?These are some of the issues I discuss in my podcast today. Hopefully it helps somebody out there who is confused about what is happening and how to deal with it hopefully in the right way.

In life many things will happen that test our patience and our mindset as well as skills set. Often we try to persevere as adults for things we think we need or want or desire in our lives. This can range from job promotions to moving to another city or country or chasing or ending a relationship that we feel is right for us. But what happens when the things we want don't flow correctly? What happens when we come across obstacle after obstacle and face hardships or frustrations because in the grand scheme of things we don't realise those things we desire or yearn for are not actually predestined or determined for us? What if we are meant to surrender our id, ego, our yearning to hold on and instead simply let go and let things be? In today's podcast I discuss how frustrating, challenging but also the rewarding aspect of surrendering part of our life journey can be when we simply learn to let go.It's not an easy journey by the way...But one that can be very fruitful in the end.

As the end of 2021 approaches I reflect on some of the key milestones I and others around me faced. I look back on some of the changes we had to face; some were rather painful and difficult and others were leading to paths of wisdom and change. As we all face 2022 a year of growth and wisdom it's important to have some retrospection on the key events that either broke us or changed us for the better or worse; naturally this is all about our inner perception of how we view our personal narrative of life.I personally hope that 2022 is a year of harmony, growth, change and wisdom for many.Blessings, peace and prosperity for the year ahead.
