About Abdul
The Full Story
Abdul once believed that there was nothing that he was good at. Growing up, he struggled with his mental health and constantly battled social anxiety. Abdul remembers sitting in his high school biology class with paper towel underneath his armpits so that he didn't sweat through his shirt. He was always nervous and wished there was a way he could be confident.
After dedicating the past 7 years to healing from his childhood trauma, creating a strong self concept, and building a bulletproof mindset, Abdul finally reached a place of internal freedom. Once he felt that freedom, he made it his mission to help as many people as possible feel that same freedom...then he wondered how?
He knew he was intelligent enough to pursue a career focused solely on financial success—perhaps even fulfilling his father’s dream of him becoming a doctor. But his heart pulled him toward a different path: becoming a motivational speaker.
He reflected on his darkest moments and realized the power learning and education had to transform his life. For instance, academics had always been a struggle. Getting good grades demanded countless hours of studying, and tests left him consumed by anxiety and stress. He often had to reread the same material eight times before it made sense and it felt like his brain just didn't work! But then, Abdul discovered something life-changing: he could learn how to learn. By developing better strategies and addressing his test anxiety through proper preparation, he began to unlock his potential.
This breakthrough sparked a cascading cycle of growth. Abdul started identifying the gaps in his knowledge and addressing them one by one, turning his weaknesses into strengths. EDUCATION became the tool he used to reshape his life!
Through this journey, Abdul uncovered a deeper truth: when he intentionally changed his self image, his life changed too. Who he believed he was became the foundation of every transformation! He came to understand that much of what we believe about ourselves—our worth, our abilities, and our potential—is shaped by falsehoods we absorb from life’s challenges and the environments we grow up in. If you can learn to let go of the identities you’ve clung to—the ones that no longer serve you—and intentionally create a new version of yourself, your entire life can change forever.
In 2023, Abdul graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in Business. He is a Gallup-trained Strengths Coach, a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner, and a Trauma-Informed Professional. In April 2025, he graduated with his ME.d Higher Education with an emphasis on College Student Affairs Leadership.
