Many people think it’s easy for a business owner or manager to change their life because they have money and can do whatever they want — but that belief is completely wrong about myself and many of my friends.

The level of pressure and expectation on us is extremely heavy. So when someone smokes, drinks, eats unhealthy food, gains weight, or is burned out — it’s not because they aren't motivated to change, it’s because they don’t know how. They need a knowledgeable guide.

Thank you for being by my side and by the side of my team managers. You’ve created extraordinary impacts. The world needs more people like you.

To anyone reading my message: If you have too many responsibilities, if you got divorced in a foreign country, if you’re supporting your family from afar, if you’ve lost your physical and mental health, developed illnesses, and think nothing can change — you’re wrong.

You just haven’t met Dr Nahal yet to show you how capable you truly are.

I did it — so you can too.

My life is divided into before session two of my first program with you, and after it. Everything changed when I embraced my fears and started doing the assignments you gave.

Session three was very heavy and difficult for me. When I understood the real reason behind my overeating and weight gain, I really wished I could argue with you because accepting it was painful. You were right, and I’m thankful that you never judged me and stayed by my side.

I owe these 27 kilograms of weight loss, the disappearance of my diabetes and high blood pressure, and the return of my femininity all to you, without exaggeration.

Dr, now I feel something special when I look back and review the journey I’ve gone through in this past year and a half: excitement, amazement, pride, power, and sometimes a feeling of “I wish I had found you sooner.”

The reason I am now back at university at age 52, studying at one of the best universities is because of your support, dear Nahal.

For years, I carried the emotional burden of my patients and devoted myself to helping others, but as you said, that small plant inside me was left without care.

I not only follow your recommendations in my own life with full commitment, but I also pass them on to my patients wholeheartedly.

I’m looking forward to your next in-person and online workshops.

Stay radiant, dear Nahal.

I must say the exercises you gave me in the first sessions sometimes felt strange. But I’m so glad I trusted this “strange” process, because now I’m standing here.

Through social media, I’m connected with hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and help many in their careers and businesses. I was highly successful in my work, but extremely unsuccessful when it came to myself and my unhealthy lifestyle.

Basically, I had every problem a person can have: IBS, overweight, inactivity, loneliness, poor sleep, high inflammation, hopelessness, and fear of starting a project I knew I would succeed in but still didn’t start.

The routines I built with your help are like an invisible network connected together, and I never forget them, not even for a day. On my brother’s wedding day, despite having many responsibilities, I did my morning routine, and when I returned to the hotel at night, I did my night routine.

My routines are my life. My routines are me.

Thank you for your reassuring presence and your exceptional expertise.

My experience with you cannot be compared with any course or training. You create miracles.

In the Influential Women workshop, a lawyer said she wished she had found you earlier. I agree with her completely, and to make up for the years I didn’t know you, I’m giving all my effort to continue on this path.

Some of the results I’ve achieved so far: I no longer crave snacks or fast food, I lost weight by myself, I can say “no” to my colleagues and boss intelligently without being worried about losing my job (and I even received a promotion 2 months ago), I am present for my teenage daughter with love while also taking care of myself, my fatty liver disappeared, I signed an excellent contract with a publisher and am writing my second book, and many other achievements that I will definitely write about in my book so others can learn.

As an immigrant who started her life in a completely new geography with unfamiliar people and culture, I was overwhelmed with fear and a deep sense of incapability. I tried different methods, made some progress, then kept falling back into “I can’t.”

But my weekly sessions with you, Dr Nahal Habibi, showed me a completely different path. Step by step, I learned how not to label myself with sadness, grief, and low self-confidence just because I was an immigrant and this only sounds easy when spoken about. I learned how to say “no” without stress, and how to build different parts of my lifestyle with your help, dear Dr Nahal.

Over 5 months, I lost the 13 kilograms I had gained in the stressful months leading up to my migration. I’m proud of myself for being able and continuing to be able. Thank you for teaching me how to take responsibility for myself. In my opinion, this was the missing link between my abilities and my failures. We practised and practised again — thank you for being there, my dear Dr Nahal.
