Success doesn’t always come from scaling faster—it often begins with slowing down and tuning into what truly matters. 💛 In this episode of The Heart-Led Business Show, we dive deep with Shahada Karim, a former CBS journalist who left the spotlight to build a soulful, science-backed wellness brand rooted in healing, integrity, and personal connection.

From broadcast journalism to founding Habibi brands, Shahada shares how aligning business with purpose changed everything. 🎧 Tune in for a powerful journey of building with soul.

Key Takeaways

• Shahada’s leap from corporate media to holistic wellness—no parachute, just passion.
• Why your customers need to know YOU, not just your product (hint: it’s not just about the lotion).
• The burnout saga: planning a wedding, running a business, and learning to say “no” without guilt.
• The power of adaptive fitness and why your 25-year-old squat might need a retirement plan.
