Salaamu 'alaykum girly, I'm Amaani, the founder of Sisters with Nur.

I used to be an angry, resentful housewife, who only knew giving and sacrificing from a place of need for approval.

I was anxious, chronically worried and struggled on and off with depression.

I was scared to genuinely be myself, and unconsciously dialed myself down to fit into what’s “common”.

Trauma had made me believe being myself simply wasn't good enough, and so I sought out a perfect identity to finally be deserving of happiness, love and belonging.

Allaah 'azza wa djall tested me in various ways until I understood life isn't about being someone else, rather it's about spreading your goodness and living in your purpose as the human He made you to be!

My curious and stubborn nature embarked me on a journey of constant learning, driven to understand myself and other humans' behavior, and what allows us to live a quality life with quality relationships.

Shoutout to my awesome, smart mentors who've helped me shape my ever-growing insight, whom Allah fitted so perfectly in the timeline of my life.

Now bi idhni Llah I have my own business, where I can express my unique self, whilst working solely with women from the comfort of my home, I know exactly where to give my energy and where to withhold it, my responsibilities fulfill me and I live for my purpose instead of anything the dunya can offer me.

My children get a regulated, merciful mother instead of an explosive one that’s full of self-shame. Instead of being haunted by mom guilt and feeling disconnected from my children, I use accountability, joy and du'a to parent.

I live within a paradigm of tawakkul ‘ala Allah, have the tools for stability and confidence at my disposal and love working on my long term health and goals. Long long term, aka even beyond this life.

I am finally, unapologetically, myself.
