Dealing with Failure and Self-Love with Salama Mohamed

In this wonderful first episode of season 5, I welcome my friend Salama! We have such a good catch up on life, but also dive deeper into what it means to be successful, how to deal with emotional abuse and protect your boundaries. We also talk about the reality of being an entrepreneur and finding yourself and your passion. Tune in!

“I wouldn’t trust someone that they haven’t failed in life. Cause life hasn’t slapped you enough.”

[@daisymiano925]

@dorcas.... I'm with you on that. Failure, challenges and hardships build character and prepare one for life. Most sheltered people don't do well when they face real life unfortunately❤

[@sara4hayati]

Don’t requote her making it seem like she came up with this from her head.

[@larosenoirek2197]

Her beauty, strength, and resilience shines through. When she said she had no woman to look up to growing up, I felt it. I see so much of her in myself. She is the type that has so much love to give around, yet with a lonely path to protect her mental health at all cost. You are a true Gem and from a sister may Allah swt bless you for who you are and what you do for others.

[@mariaboyd7380]

You can tell she's not happy. Learning to forgive will set you free and heal your broken heart and spirit.

[@Wafafaisal78]

The begging is the hardest ' just know every situation you face in your life is reaches you something so lemme remind you a beatifull Ayah《every hardship there's comes easy 》 and accept the failure coz No-one tells you the best you're till you see and trust yourself💚

[@yasminpatel1708]

I'm with you Salama, cut the cord. I'm loyal as they get, if you mess with my mind and my heart, I'm sorry I'm gone.

[@charlie77577]

Machallah..One of my favourite most influential real life women.. Your advice is always positively affective. I use it for reflection, careful consideration of certain avenues that will help me navigate and maintain a healthy way of moving toward completing goals without overwhelming myself with fear, but not completely ignoring it either.. Thank you beautiful Salama, may God protect you with peace and health🤍

[@nh8624]

Such a great interview! Thank you for such wholesome words 🙏

[@UU-vl2kn]

Gosh the deep pain she has in her eyes. As a woman, I know exactly the pain that she is going through. Only those who have been through that same pain can see it in a mothers eyes

[@sandipagrawaltalks]

I learned so much from this video. Your ability to break down complex topics is impressive. Thanks!

I love the material that Salma's headscarf is made from, it is so pretty! And, so is Salma!

[@rouksarjaufuraully7287]

Real! Authentic & the conversation made me realise to accept failures! Who are you without your success etc. Wow- this made me freeze for a moment.. Love it guys🙌🏻👏

Saw your small clips of podcast on instagram and I had to give you the follow. Such an inspiration interview so fulfilling. Thanks for this interview

[@Delightful_Gamer]

I can't help but to pick up somewhat of a South African accent from Cape Town here and there. Interesting... I am happy to see strong women such as yourself. You sound and seem to be self actualised as a woman...way up there.🤗

[@user-zi7zf8es7l]

Hey there, My name is Salma. I totally relate to the clip from 16:11 to 17:46. I felt like I was narrated by Salama here. So relatable except for entrepreneur & mom role of her.

Just imagine how people are fooled by our social media activities they have no idea what we deal with. Its all good when we are on camera nobody shows what’s happening for real

[@arnelabih1845]

And they shouldn't problems your life should be private not for the world to know

[@aj__love5919]

That is scary how some thing just because people show happy life online it’s real? Nope there are stories behind that picture so people just take care of yourself ♥️

[@zimasubhan8116]

Well I mean she likes the attention n her life out there. Nobody put a gun to her head to b on KZbin n model with a hijab on. Now playing the victim. A complete malignant narcissistic person. Playing the victim card.

[@SA-xm8xk]

When you create a perception for others who is to blame? Fools leading fools.

[@ankank2990]

What happened to her

[@richardmuntawbira3212]

its like therapy listening to her talk about her abuse and how to set boundaries. a lot of ppl need that. lots of girls in similar situation. she looks so fit im surprised she has health issues.

[@arshiaamreen7853]

Has she divorced by Khaled

[@angieluna2415]

[@amprabhleenkaur]

"*God Bless Everyone Take Care All Long Lives 100 years and above all*"

[@DIP4K]

she ooozes class tone of voice mannerism

[@ann-mariethompson7702]

She is telling her truth!!! Always the woman/mother is painted as the wrong doer, but only Allah sees the truth, and to see the truth is to see how a person does not have fear of Allah in that situation. The situation between Salama and Khalid is between them, and only Allah knows the truth. It's their business and no one else's. May Allah protect the children. This is the most important thing for parents who are going through a divorce, but sadly, the children become second place, for some.

[@RA-tb4tr]

It would be nice if you could link Salama’s socials and products to the description

[@sitteiaynaacmad3866]

I LOVE SALAMA❤🎉❤🎁😍😘😚

[@Acnt12]

Finally I found someone who thinks like me mentally 😪😪

[@DomDollx]

I loved this interview, Salama being permitted and being invited to speak w/o interruptions or being talked over. I loved having Salama in all the KA videos and they are not the same w/o you, Queen. I appteciate that you seem like a calm quiet person who finally leanred to bring your voice forward, to be heard, to be seen. Everything she speaks here reflects volumes about yhe importance of not being overpowered by the waves thrown by others and riding the wave for yourself while serving others w the skills God gave you to shine. I pray for success for you Salama and all the self appointed YT gurus soeculating about her marriage has no right. None of you know anything and esp brothers stating they should get back together lol please stop. Divorce is legal in Islam, it is permitted. They did not make a scene and they did not invite speculation. Leave them alone. Let them build their lives that is best for them. Yes social media is not where you put your business. The couple did everything on screen as respectfully as can be done. They are in a diff stage in life and may each be happy and successful. All the best to each of you. Ty for this podcast w Salama. I love her name and everything she has shown and represents on screen for other women to follow. Remember they're all human. Be your own guru and find guifance in God/your Creator.

[@ScathednTorn]

They have not announced divorce themselves

[@KeyaanAli]

Is Salama divorced confirmed? Man they were a perfect couple but I guess what u see from outside isn’t how it is for real

[@RinatRocks]

of course...take the on camera stuff with more than a pinch of salt... dont be in a rush to label people as perfect couple n what not... those things are not easy to achieve

[@Iman_18]

And then Allah will satisfy you as if you have never grieved ❤

[@jessesarmiento2675]

A Taurus and a Sagittarius are a bad combination. Oil and water. Salama I'll give you endless Virgo hugs. She's so beautiful and her personality is great

[@imaadmalik7336]

😂

[@jessesarmiento2675]

It's the fact that Taurus controls Sagittarius and once that happens Taurus will become frustrated and depressed. Taurus is an Earth sign that's deeply grounded. They need a partner which understands the fact that they're not social butterflies at all. Sagittarius is just the opposite. Salama it's in the starts. Flu and flu? Immune system or psychosomatic conversations. What does a flu offer your deeper self. Is it an escape mechanism?

[@asmafassy4781]

Such strong words to learn from you Salama.. 🫂 ! There was a time I wished Salama speak English but here you are as a master piece with so much of great thoughts to share ❤ Thank you Sheen for bringing her in

It's called Nazar (Ayn). Prophet Muhammad (saws) clearly mentioned, do not display your blessings, too much admiration causes nazar. Nazar will destroy you completely.

[@ameenaaneesh6862]

It has nothing to do with Hasad. They already were on the verge of divorce earlier, as they had mentioned in one their earlier videos. They were working on it. This proves it didn't work out anyway. Additionally, knowing her nature, the last prank Khaled pulled on her in a restaurant was too much, considering her autism issues. Not all that glitters is gold. It's incredible how people assume social media lives are honest and real.
