Hi, I’m Manal,

I’m a certified life coach, author, and artist who works with women over 40 who are ready to make more room for themselves and what they want in their lives.

I understand many of the women I work with because I’ve been there, too.

Like many women, I’ve had many roles in my life: wife, mother of three, daughter of aging parents, corporate professional, business owner, friend, and mentor. For years, I balanced building a career, raising a family, caring for the people I loved, and doing what needed to be done.

I have a good life. I’m proud of what I’ve built and deeply grateful for the people in it. But at some point, I realized I had spent so much time thinking about what everyone else needed that I had stopped asking myself a very simple question:

What do I want?

I didn’t need a different life. I needed to make room for myself in the life I already had.

That realization eventually led me to coaching and to work I genuinely love. It also taught me something I bring to every woman I work with: wanting something for yourself doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for what you already have.

Sometimes it simply means you’re ready to listen to yourself again.

Today, that’s what I help women do: get clearer about what they want, trust themselves more, and begin taking meaningful steps toward a future that makes them happy.

When I'm not coaching, you can usually find me painting, practicing yoga, taking a spin class, cooking authentic Egyptian food, or simply enjoying a good book.

My Free-time Passion

When I'm not coaching, you'll often find me painting, a practice that brings me peace, creativity, and perspective.

The Gratitude Journey
$29.99

I wrote The Gratitude Journey because I’ve experienced how easy it is to become so focused on what’s next, or what’s missing, that we overlook what is already good in our lives.

This 90-day guided journal invites you to slow down, notice the everyday moments that matter, and develop a deeper appreciation for the life you already have. Through simple daily reflections, The Gratitude Journey helps you cultivate greater awareness, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Sometimes a more fulfilling life begins when you see what you already have in a different light.
