I Built the Career I Wanted—But Something Was Missing
Anisa A.
When Anisa began coaching, she had everything she thought she wanted—a successful career in cardiac surgery, top roles, and professional recognition. But something felt off. She wasn’t unhappy, but she wasn’t excited either. She wasn’t sure what was next, only that she wanted more alignment between her work and what truly mattered to her.
Over three months with Aliaa, Anisa gained clarity on her values, reframed success, and let go of the pressure to follow a rigid career path.
By the end, she had the confidence to step away from traditional expectations, launch a health-focused platform, and build a career that felt both fulfilling and meaningful.
Case Study
When Anisa sought coaching, she was grappling with the weight of expectations and uncertainty about her next steps. Despite excelling in cardiac surgery and securing top positions, she felt trapped by a career path that no longer fully aligned with her values and aspirations.
“I had achieved everything I set out to, but I still felt like something was missing. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to walk away from the career I had built, but I knew I needed clarity on what truly mattered to me.”
The Problem
Anisa’s challenges stemmed from the tension between external expectations and her evolving internal desires:
Uncertainty About Next Steps: She had built a career around external success markers but felt disconnected from what truly fulfilled her.
“I spent so much time focused on the next milestone that I never stopped to ask myself: What do I actually want now?”
Fear of Change: The idea of stepping away from a structured career path felt overwhelming, making it difficult to take action.
“I was scared to change directions—what if I made the wrong choice?”
Rigid Definition of Success: She equated success with external achievements rather than internal fulfillment, leaving her feeling stuck.
The Solution
Through coaching, Anisa was able to step back, redefine success, and make intentional choices aligned with her values.
Identifying Core Priorities: She clarified her non-negotiables, shifting her focus from career achievements to meaningful impact.
“Once I defined what truly mattered, I felt more confident making decisions that aligned with my values.”
Redefining Success: She learned to see success as something dynamic, rather than a rigid checklist of accomplishments.
“I realized success isn’t about proving something—it’s about creating a life that feels right for me.”
Building Confidence in Change: By reframing uncertainty as an opportunity rather than a risk, she embraced exploration without fear.
“Instead of rushing to figure it all out, I learned to take things one step at a time.”
The Results
Freedom to Pivot: Anisa gained clarity on her next steps, choosing to step away from traditional career expectations to launch a health-focused platform.
“I finally felt like I had permission to pursue something different—something that felt aligned.”
Confidence in Decision-Making: She moved from hesitation to action, trusting herself to navigate change with intention.
“I stopped second-guessing myself and started making choices with confidence.”
Redefined Career and Personal Fulfillment: With a new perspective, she began creating a career that felt authentic and meaningful.

Anisa’s Perspective
“When I started working with Aliaa, I felt stuck. I had all these thoughts, ideas, and emotions swirling around, but I didn’t know how to move forward. I wasn’t ready to accept what I truly wanted, even though deep down, I think I already knew.
Now, I feel like I can breathe. I’ve let go of the pressure to have everything figured out immediately. I’m not afraid of failure the way I used to be. And most importantly, I’m making choices that feel right for me—not just what looks like success on the outside.
Aliaa didn’t give me the answers—she helped me uncover the ones I already had inside me. I’m walking away with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. I am deeply grateful.”
