Faezeh's Podcast

In this episode, we explore what it really means to romanticize your life — not in the cliché, Pinterest-perfect way, but in the grounded, everyday moments where presence turns into peace.

We talk about the art of slowing down in a world that’s constantly rushing us, and how choosing to move with intention can completely shift the way you experience your day.

We share simple, practical tips for adding softness and beauty into your routines:
 ✨ creating rituals instead of habits
 ✨ finding magic in the mundane
 ✨ making small moments feel meaningful
 ✨ reconnecting with your senses<...

In this episode, I talk about why so much advice online feels harsh, extreme, or impossible to apply in real life. The truth is: a lot of the viral “wisdom” we consume comes from people who’ve been deeply hurt, disappointed, or disillusioned. They’ve seen the dark parts of the world — and their advice reflects that pain.

But when we take guidance from someone’s wounds instead of their healing, it rarely fits our lives. It misses the nuance. It ignores context. It assumes everyone is broken in the same way.

I explore how to recognize...

In this episode, I explore a perspective most people never consider: we can only share advice from the level of consciousness we’re currently at — and that’s one of the reasons therapy doesn’t always create real transformation.

I talk about how some of the deepest healing doesn’t come from analyzing ourselves in isolation, but from sitting with the person who has been impacted by our behavior. The person who has lived with our patterns, our triggers, our inconsistencies, and our unhealed wounds.

Because the truth is:

it’s often easier to an...

In this episode, my sister and I break down the psychology behind love bombing — why it feels so intense, why it’s so confusing, and why so many people get stuck in its cycle.

We talk about the difference between intermittent reinforcement (high highs, low lows, mixed signals, unpredictable attention) and continuous reinforcement (steady effort, consistency, emotional safety). One keeps you addicted. The other helps you build real love.

Together, we share how to recognize the patterns, why the intermittent cycle can feel intoxicating even when it’s unhealthy, and how to rew...

In this episode, I talk about the delicate balance between staying consistent and going with the flow. We all know the power of discipline — sticking to our routines, honoring our commitments, and showing up even when it’s hard. But life also moves in seasons, and sometimes the most aligned thing we can do is slow down, rest, and trust where life is leading us.

I explore how to know when to hold on to your habits — like your gym routine, your sleep schedule, or your evening rituals — and when to let life’s changes guide you in a new d...

In this episode, my sister and I dive into dating from a perspective we’ve learned through experience: women set the tone. We decide the standard. We teach people how to treat us by what we accept, what we expect, and what we refuse to entertain.

We talk about why having high standards isn’t “too much” — it’s a form of self-respect. It’s knowing your value and understanding that the right person won’t shrink from your expectations; they’ll show up for them.

Together, we explore how to date with confidence, how to...

In this episode, I explore one of life’s most delicate balances — knowing when to take control and when to let go. We talk about the nuances of surrender: how it’s not about giving up, but about trusting timing, people, and ourselves.

I share reflections on the parts of life that need structure, discipline, and direction — and the parts that require softness, acceptance, and flow. Because sometimes, the more we try to control, the more resistance we create… and the moment we let go, everything starts to align naturally.

This episode is a gentle reminder t...

In this episode, I walk you through a full-year audit, exploring every area of life: mental health, physical health, relationships, finances, spirituality, and purpose. Together, we reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and where the gaps are so we can set meaningful resolutions for the year ahead.

I also talk about why December is the best time to begin your transformation, not January. Because if we want lasting change, we have to embody the next version of ourselves before the calendar turns. We can’t wait to become that person; we have to start livi...

In this episode, I open up about why I decided to step away from therapy — and what I’ve learned about healing on my own terms. It’s not that I don’t believe in therapy, but I’ve come to realize that sometimes, we don’t need someone to analyze us or tell us what’s wrong. We need to feel seen, held, and loved.

I talk about the shift from seeking external guidance to finding answers within — learning to trust intuition, self-awareness, and connection. What we truly need is community, care, and presence — people who love us enough to...

In this episode, my sister and I dive into the beautiful yet complicated world of adult friendships. We talk about how friendships change as we grow, the challenges of staying close when life gets busier, and the bittersweet process of outgrowing certain connections.

We share our own experiences — from the effort it takes to keep friendships alive in our 20s and 30s, to learning how to recognize when it’s time to let go or redefine what friendship means.

This is an honest, comforting conversation about how friendship evolves — and how to navigate it with grace...

In this episode, I sit down with my sister for an honest and hilarious deep dive into the world of dating today. From first date jitters to red flags, icks, and unexpected lessons, we share our personal stories, cultural perspectives, and the ways our views on love have evolved.

We talk about what it’s really like navigating dating in your 20s and 30s balancing intuition, standards, and self-worth and how sisterly advice (and laughter) makes the whole thing a little easier.

After months away from the mic, I’m finally back — more grounded, more honest, and more me. In this episode, I share why I stopped podcasting, how my life completely turned upside down, and what it felt like to lose myself in the process.

For a long time, I believed I shouldn’t speak when I was uncertain that I had to wait until I figured everything out. But silence taught me something deeper: even when you’re lost, your voice still matters.

This episode is a raw life update, a reflection on change, and a story...

In this deeply honest and reflective episode, we dive into the root of anxiety and overthinking—where it comes from, why it shows up, and how it often masks itself as intuition or “gut feelings.” We talk about how the need for control stems from past experiences where we felt helpless or hurt, and how our minds work overtime trying to predict every outcome to avoid going through pain again.

But real peace doesn’t come from control—it comes from trust. Trust in yourself, in your ability to get back up no matter what life throws at you. We...

The way our current comfort system crisis has been built is in a way that will soothe you immediately the wrong way before you can think about finding actual solutions that can change your current circumstances. I believe that’s why a lot of us can’t get out of our loops. Because we have lost the ability to sit with our emotions and feel them without any distraction like doom scrolling, binge eating, binge watching, ordering Uber eats each day, staying up all night, alcohol, drugs, and etc.

We stay in the same place that is hurt...

We hear a lot in self development space, that you need to be true to who you are whether it's in business, or in dating and personal life. But is this accurate?
Personally, I don't think so. Let's say you are a shy person in first grade and basically all your childhood, does that mean you are doomed to suffer till your last breath because you have to be true to that?  
Who you are right now is the result of your life experiences and decisions in the past, nothing more. I believe we are not a t...

Moving to a new country alone is one of the hardest things a person can do. I believe immigrants are the most resilient, strongest and bravest people on this planet. I don't think we talk enough about how dashing it is to say goodbye to your home country, to leave what's familiar behind and step into unknown. In this episode, I am sharing some of the hardships people face when moving to a new country as an immigrant. My intention is to raise awareness on how heart breaking and brutal it could feel at times so my immigrant listeners...

Navigating the modern world as a woman can indeed present challenges, and discussions around gender disparities, workplace dynamics, and societal expectations have gained prominence. It's important to note that experiences vary widely among individuals, and while progress has been made, there are still areas that warrant attention and improvement.

Workplaces, historically tailored to accommodate a predominantly male workforce, have undergone transformations but continue to grapple with gender imbalances. Women may encounter hurdles such as the gender pay gap, limited representation in leadership roles, and subtle biases that impact career advancement. Balancing career aspirations with societal expectations, familial...
