Make the Choice Live a Better Life
Never Give Up on Hope, Humanity, and Your Heart's Healing
A note from Wadad
Taking the leap from a 17-year corporate leadership career into the unknown was one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made
No backup plan, no financial security, just me facing uncertainty head-on. But you know what? I did it anyway.
In 2020, I left behind my senior position and embarked on a journey to become a coach, living out my purpose and finding fulfillment in supporting communities and leaders. It wasn’t easy. The doubts, fears, and old wounds resurfaced, triggering a whirlwind of emotions.
Yet, I dove in with all my heart, embracing those fears, even when it felt like the hardest thing in the world.
Transforming loss into Purporse
My journey toward coaching began in 2016, a year marked by profound loss and soul-searching. Losing two pillars of support left me lost, questioning who I was and what I wanted from life. I had no dreams or purpose.
That’s when I realized something had to change.
Delving deep within, I confronted my self-sabotaging behaviors and limiting beliefs, kickstarting my own coaching journey. It wasn’t easy. I faced patterns of codependency, fears of abandonment and addiction, and unhealthy attachments.
But through it all, I regained control over my life, learning that I didn't have to be afraid to live fully and freely.

Guided by H.E.A.R.T Wisdom
In the process, I discovered the power of H.E.A.R.T. Wisdom – Hope, Empowerment, Authenticity, Resilience, and Trust. These principles became my guiding light, helping me navigate challenges and embrace the journey of self-discovery and growth. I am very grateful for my studies of ancient wisdom, positive psychology, and the science of Breath & Energy, which further empowered me on this path.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve completed over 1000 hours of coaching with individuals, communities, and organizations, earning recognition as a Certified Coach by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I’ve also received my Master Reiki certification after seven years of intensive studies and practice.
One of my personal missions is to support the rise of consciousness in humanity. That’s why I started #DeepTalks, an interactive online podcast where people from diverse backgrounds across the globe share their stories and practical tools for healing and growth.
Speaking at various corporations, I’ve shared my thoughts on mental health, resilience, empowerment, and inclusion, covering topics from owning your narrative to fostering balance in leadership roles. I’ve been fortunate to have my perspectives featured on local media and TV.
My journey also includes four years in the startup space, where I founded www.wakingLand.com, a platform dedicated to selling sustainable products and handmade goods, supporting small local businesses, and advocating for the protection of animals and the environment.
As someone of Lebanese descent, born in Limassol, raised and brought up in lebanon during the war and having worked for 20 years in the GCC, my diverse background has been a cornerstone of my personal and professional journey.
It’s been a journey of growth, confronting challenges, and transforming self-doubt and fear into fuel for creating the life I live now: one filled with joy and freedom.

Remember, a life of joy and freedom isn’t just for dreamers; it’s for anyone willing to take that first step toward making their dreams a reality.
And if you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
