Nobody is coming to save you, but I kind of look at it is a beautiful blessing

Even if you have been dealt certain cards that are not always in your favor

You have the choice to find the beauty and the positive and to turn the cards in your favor

Okay guys, we are currently at the lake and austin

and we are gonna go for a run we're gonna try

and aim for 10k steps that's like what i want to just like make sure

i'm getting consistent at like make sure

i'm becoming consistent at it's like getting more steps in whether that's through walking running

and i'm gonna be tracking this run with runna

and it's honestly like changed the game for my whole running journey

because like i used to be a person who would just like show up

and run but now i'm actually like following a program even

if it's like something simple as like just running

and also different kinds of like intervals or

if you're trying to like be more consistent with like trying

to hit a 10k a marathon even like progress in your mile

so it's like follow a program

when it comes to running you can use my code liana to try

it out for two weeks free it's honestly a game changer

and it's helped me like run marathons be consistent and um i'm very excited and we're gonna track it with rana

how's it very good very delicious wow

Let's get started.

I'm going to put it in a little bit.

I'll put it in a little bit.

I'm going to put it in the oven.

okay y 'all sorry

if i have cat hair on my face we are gonna chat grab a cup of tea

or matcha i kind of just want to touch base a little bit

so the first thing that i want to start with is um always having a plan for the day.

I feel like that's something that is so crucial that we oftentimes overlook.

And when you create a plan, follow through with that plan.

Having a plan and following through with it is crucial and understanding that nobody is coming to save you.

Like that's one thing that I'm really realizing.

Nobody's coming to save you.

And it's not a fear -mongering thing, but I used to take it that way.

But I kind of look at it as a beautiful blessing.

You have the choice to take control of your life.

And even if you have been dealt certain cards

that are not always in your favor you have the choice to find the beauty in it in the positive

and to turn the cards in your favor

but you can't accept a mindset of defeat you can't accept a mindset of a victim mentality

and y 'all i used to be these people

and victim mentality means like everything is happening to you the world is terrible It's possible this is not right.

Or like, I can't do this because of this.

And sometimes I catch myself still being in that.

And I have to like, give myself a reality check of like, let me take control because at the end of the day,

I'll be able to change the circumstances that I'm in.

But if I give the world or other people or blame it on someone else,

then I'm not going to be able to change it because you're just pointing the finger.

Always point the finger at yourself.

Always reflect and see where you can improve on, especially in your days.

And yeah, the next thing I want to talk about is I have spoken to my podcast

that I have hired someone new.

She's amazing at what she does.

But to be transparent and honest on here, y 'all, I am learning how to be a boss.

I'm learning how to be a better communicator, more patience, the way to respond to people, systems in place.

Because if I want to scale, I need to grow.

And when I am in a situation where I am very uncomfortable,

it takes a lot of me really checking myself of how can I communicate better how can I make sure

that I am never dropping the ball like for example

if I don't do something nothing else moves and

so it's always understanding that like

if you don't get it together everything else is going to crumble

so I'm like learning more and more and understanding

that like I'm going to grow through this so much

and I think that we oftentimes pray for new blessings

but don't understand that those new blessings are going to come with challenges it's going to take you overcoming new things.

So while it might look bright and shiny and,

you know, amazing, just understand that the challenges are going to get more difficult as the blessing gets bigger.

And you have to welcome that challenge in.

I'm like delegating tasks.

I'm like learning how to pause before I respond.

I'm a very reactive person.

And I think that when you are a reactive person, if you're listening to this,

sit with your decisions, be in tune with yourself before you speak, before you say something that you might regret, be calmer.

100

Don't act on your reactive impulses because they're not always accurate.

101

Or if they are accurate, it's like you could have communicated things in a different way where it's more digestible.

102

So that's something I'm learning for sure.

103

What else is new?

104

Oh, let's talk about my fiance.

105

So I went to Dallas, actually.

106

We will show some of the snippets.

107

I went because I am doing my nikah in four weeks.

108

Everything is very fast, but I'm like grateful that it's fast, if that makes sense.

109

I am not a person to delay things and I don't think it's necessarily always good to delay, especially when you know that it's your person.

110

So I've done a lot of praying, a lot of communicating and yeah, I am literally getting married in four weeks.

111

So it's like

112

Islamic marriage and then the wedding we're going to do later on next year.

113

Anyways, I got my dress custom made by this woman named Reem Couture.

114

My friend Lena introduced me to her.

115

I will leave the examples of like all the stuff that I wanted to do.

116

So this is dress number one.

117

I really love this dress because of how simple it is.

118

And this is kind of like what I'm leaning more towards because I could pair it with this veil.

119

And so it looks like a bit more dramatic

120

because I want a dramatic veil

121

or I could potentially do this dress with a simple veil

122

but then I'm like the pictures are not going to come out

123

because I want the veil like draped over you know what I'm talking about

124

but I really love this as well like I could potentially do this style too

125

or we could do like a basic abaya with like a long veil

126

and then like a long drape as well

127

but I think I'm leaning more towards one in truth

128

but let me know your thoughts I do like two as well

129

but basically I sent out the invitations yesterday

130

I need to send them to my friends now it's November 25th we're doing it at my favorite mosque

131

that I grew up in well around I only really went there like for eat prayer

132

when I was younger but like that was my favorite mosque

133

and it still is my favorite mosque

134

and then we are gonna do like a little family thing at the house

135

and then me and him are going to go to Chicago

136

so he basically goes back and forth to Chicago for work

137

but he's from Dallas he will be moving to Austin though

138

and then he can do like remote work

139

but honestly he's like slowly like becoming my best friend it's so weird

140

and yeah I'm very grateful

141

I feel like God brings people in your life just at crazy times like it's actually insane to me

142

so just know that like you've got to have this deep trust

143

and to be honest I always had a deep trusting god like i knew god was always going to deliver

144

but he delivers at the right time

145

and you kind of just have to trust his timing always and i'm

146

so excited for this chapter

147

i just need to figure out my freaking sleep routine bro with this like trying to balance

148

it is quite difficult still navigating it i still haven't figured it out

149

but i think just constantly learning growing from your mistakes

150

but i haven't really been consistent with the vlogs on here

151

because it's y 'all it's just been all over the place i'm gonna be honest okay like i love youtube so much.

152

It's how I connect with y 'all.

153

And I love creating vlogs, cinematic styles.

154

but sometimes I guess I just needed to be on like pause for a second,

155

but you know, things are getting situated and we're going to be consistent again on YouTube on vlogs.

156

I would actually really appreciate it if you guys let me know in the comments below your favorite kind of videos.

157

Like what are the videos that you truly look forward to

158

that I create that help you that are beneficial in your life or things that you want me to start doing?

159

Like I want to understand from you.

160

So please let me know some comments below

161

and I don't want to stop talking to y 'all like

162

I really enjoy talking to you guys especially like the podcast too make sure

163

you subscribe to it by the way like I feel like

164

I'm finding a deep connection with y 'all like even though

165

I'm talking to you guys like I read your comments I look at your dms

166

and the fact that it's like able to impact you like I'm

167

so so grateful for that and like I am just

168

so blessed to have such amazing women by my side like rooting me on

169

but not only that like us going through life together.

170

So if you're in a chapter of loneliness,

171

if you're in a chapter where you're thriving or where you're down or where you are experiencing new things, new careers, maybe it's loss,

172

whatever chapter, maybe it's kids, marriage, whatever chapter of life that you're in, this is a safe space for you.

173

And I'm very grateful that I'm on this journey with you guys.

174

Like so, so blessed.

175

And I want you guys to meet my fiance.

176

I do when the time is right.

177

I don't think right now, but I want you guys to really meet him.

178

I want to include you into everything that I do and take you along this journey of life with me.

179

And I think that is just so exciting.

180

And I know a lot of people are saying like evil eye, keep things private.

181

Of course I believe in evil eye, but like, I also believe that there's a benefit in sharing some things

182

and hopefully the benefit overrides and the intention is pure and it's up to God.

183

One more thing before I go, i want to talk about fitness

184

i am finally getting to a place with fitness where i'm like bless like thank you god

185

you have brung another love for the gym running pilates all over again to me like thank god

186

i am in this place

187

because i fell out of love with it for a minute

188

it was kind of just feeling like i was on autopilot

189

but now i'm like truly enjoying

190

it i'm trying to hit 10k steps getting my runs in listening to podcasts on my runs like it's

191

so exciting to do these things and enjoy it not only

192

that like pilates like now me

193

and my friend lemma oh you saw her already

194

195

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
