About me

Hello, my name is Siddeeqah (pronounced Si-dee-kah). I’m a writer, wife, mother, and philanthropist. Like many people in the world, I have struggled in almost any and every way you can think of.

These struggles involved family, money, sexism, relationships, mental and physical health, work/career, and even parenting.

Life brings everyone difficult times.

Due to various reasons, these areas I just mentioned are most common for the average individual to experience difficulty at some point in life. I was one of them getting nowhere fast (or slow for that matter)!

During my adulthood, I struggled to find my place in the world. All of a sudden, I was forced to sit around, injured, and in pain after an accident put me out of work. That was the final straw.

Do you accept defeat?

Four months later, my only options were to apply for disability and take pain killer cocktails every 4 hours. The ambitious life I had was gone. As you can imagine, depression and anxiety were soon to follow. I had nothing left.

Therefore, I asked myself, “Am I really stuck like this? Do I have to take painkillers forever? Is this how it ends? A crippled, insane woman with no future? In my mid-thirties?” Surely my answer was hell to the no!

Or make your destiny?

When I decided to take my life back, I started asking myself the right questions. Is there something I can do to improve my condition? How can I make a living without compromising my physical and mental state?

In other words, I utilized the time I had to reflect. Every day I reevaluated all things that led me up to that moment. In truth, I made it my business to really think about who I was and why I wasn’t happy with the way my life was turning out.

That process brought along change at last. Albeit, that change was so big that it moved and improved my life in such a way that I could never go back to how I was living before. It brought about a change that I would’ve never thought could happen if I had continued to listen to others.

Take full responsibility for your own life and happiness is sure to follow.

Nowadays, I live for information on self-improvement as a result. I can live a lifestyle that I personalize just for me. Overall, happiness is a part of my dream. I feel that everyone has a right to happiness.

Altogether I am living my best life. In fact, my true purpose is to share tips and stories about general life topics with others who are interested in how to live their best life. In other words, I choose to dedicate a portion of myself to helping others find their best versions of themselves.

Nothing beats a failure but a try!

Since you made it this far, the time is now and I know you’re ready. So, let’s have some fun up in here, my LCG (Lovely Cultured Goddess). Let’s go grow and glow!

Your new friend,
