Welcome to reflection pods
By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
- Confucius
About THE REFLECTION PODS
Your Space to pause and ponder upon important life transforming questions
We are constantly barraged with information, but of what use is beneficial knowledge and reminders if not backed by action?
In the bid to be better we often get sucked into the facade of MORE… more courses, more webinars, more YouTube videos etc which in itself are not bad but the trouble occurs when we run into information overload and paralysis.
……. enters Reflection pods by Nisabaah, a gathering for women where we ponder upon critical questions across various aspects of our lives through the lens of Islam. In shaa Allah, these sessions will help you draw personalised insights from knowledge that you can work with to help you live a God-conscious and fulfilling life bi ithnillah.
BE A PIONEER REFLECTA 👇🏼
There is something so beautiful about contemplation and bringing your thoughts to life through speaking or writing. It is a form of acknowledgment, acceptance, and a process of clarification.
I hope this program will in shaa Allah help more women build up their reflection muscles and journey through this life as it were intended by our creator.
Sekinat Alao: Convener
We have been implored by Allah in the Quran to ponder and reflect upon his words. We are encouraged to reflect on His Names, His creations, our environment, ourselves etc because sustainable change come from the heart and it is through reflection that we feel deeply and imprint the lessons needed by the soul to take action.
Personally, a powerful tool I have used in the past few years to propel me into a state of contentment yet aiming to do better in how I live in this world and prepare for the hereafter is by combining:
Active learning + reflection + taking action
So , I know for a fact that there is power in Reflection and it not exclusive to me rather it is a principle available and applicable to everyone to benefit from.
I have come to a place where I know for a fact that as a human being, from the day we are created we have been bestowed with all the things we require to live wholesome and purposeful lives.
Granted, some of our life experiences might send us off course for sometime but it does not change the fact that we possess all we need. What we need to do is look within and start with who and where we are.
Sister, it’s not enough to learn the many things, rather we must reflect upon our current situations and how the knowledge gained relates to us so we can apply it appropriately. Because we are all wired differently, we must have a deep think about how we can personalise that knowledge in a way that it is easier to instigate change in us/ help us to take action.
My mission is to create a safe space for growth so that women can find their voice, live authentically and reach for the best of this life and the hereafter. It is my prayer that this program is a vital step in that process. I invite you to join me and explore the benefits it will bring bi ithnillah!
Imagine…..
You and other sisters coming together and holding space for each other to share their thoughts on important questions. No holds barred, no judgements, no right or wrong thoughts. Plenty truths and loads of support in shaa Allah
That is the foundation of how our reflection pod sessions will run.
These monthly group sessions are ONLINE and will consist of maximum of 15 sisters per session coming together for at-least 90mins monthly to reflect on a question and draw up ONE major insight or action plan as a takeaway. As a participant, you may wish to attend one off sessions but I recommend you attend multiple sessions to remain in a space where you have continuous interactions and accountability with like minded women striving to better themselves for the ultimate pleasure of Allah.

About the Convener
Hi! I am Sekinat Alao and I help women live a more joyful and purposeful life. The thing is I strongly believe that if everyone is living true to themselves and at their highest potential in their spirituality, careers, businesses and relationships, the world would truly be a better place.
I am a life design coach and I help women design their lives to crush overwhelm and a lack of clarity.
I am a podcaster at the Radiant woman podcast; a podcast available on platforms such as Apple, Google, Spotify and Anchor podcasts focused on encouraging women to lead radiant, purposeful and intentional lives.
I am also building a community, Nisabaah (on Instagram), where we believe that well-being is central to true success (which is attaining goodness in this life and the hereafter)
My sojourn into motherhood 6 years ago triggered something in me. I started a journey of getting to know myself in order to live a life true to my original design, not what I thought is expected of me. I am on a journey to living my “why” and of being and doing better each and everyday. I hope I can inspire you to live yours too.
