Hi, I am Malika!
And I am not here to grant you permission to live your life; I am here to hold up a mirror to your soul and remind you that you, and only you, are the sole keeper of that permission.
My Professional Story
While I officially became a certified health coach in 2024, my true journey into this world actually started back in 2021.
I was staying with a good friend for ten days. She was deeply struggling with her weight and was miserably trying to follow a restrictive "gym bro" diet packed with eggs, chicken, and cottage cheese. I asked her to drop it and just follow my lead. We started working on her food, but more importantly, we started digging into her mind.
One day, she snapped at me. She told me to stop pushing her to be active because her reality was waking up at 6 AM, surviving a brutal shift until 7 PM without eating, and grabbing a burger, sweets, and a soda on her way home. She told me that eating that junk food while watching her favorite TV show was the only bright spot in her life.
I looked at her and said, "If a TV show is your only bright spot, the weight isn't your problem. Your boundaries are."
Long story short: she listened. We didn't count calories. Instead, we had weekly talks about the rest of her life. The parts that had nothing to do with food. In just three to four months, she went from an XL to an S. She had to buy a completely new wardrobe twice before summer even arrived. But the real transformation was invisible to the eye: by learning how to set boundaries, she gained so much respect at work that her salary tripled. The three men she lived with, who used to wait for her to come home and cook, started doing the chores themselves.
Five years later, she still works the same job and lives with the same people. She eats absolutely everything, deprives herself of nothing, and hasn't gained back a single gram.
And to this day, she still doesn't know what a calorie is.
My Personal Story
She was my very first client, and a flood of others followed. I knew exactly how to guide her because I was secretly living my own version of that exact same exhaustion.
For a decade, I worked in a highly demanding, prestigious career — the exact job I had dreamed of during university. I mastered it, but it slowly started killing my spirit. Growing up as a "little nerd", I had unconsciously adopted a deeply rooted, exhausting people-pleasing mechanism. I was fiercely strict with myself. Overworking, constantly striving for a perfection that didn't exist, while having zero boundaries when it came to the needs of everyone else.
Thankfully, I have a comically low tolerance for physical discomfort, which is probably the only thing that saved me from falling into the dark rabbit hole of obsessive calorie counting. But the mental and emotional discomfort? That was my silent agony. I learned the hard way that no amount of crunches can fix a broken boundary. Even at my absolute fittest, when I had the aesthetic everyone praises, I was deeply dissatisfied. I realized that a flawless six-pack will never compensate for the neglect of the other dimensions of your life. Because the truth is simple: everything is irrelevant if you are not happy. And if you are truly happy, everything else matters so much less.
The Anti-Guide was born from this exact journey. Every single page of this program is saturated with the tears I cried, because with every word I typed, I was vividly imagining your face, your smile, your relief, your sudden realization that you can finally breathe.
I am not here to grant you permission to live your life; I am here to hold up a mirror to your soul and remind you that you, and only you, are the sole keeper of that permission. To every agonizing mistake we made, and to every time we put ourselves last I say thank you. Because if the darkness hadn't been so overwhelmingly consuming, we wouldn't be standing here right now, bathed in the light, ready to make it all breathtakingly right.
Welcome to a life where you don't just look beautiful. Welcome to a life where you finally, truly feel alive.
