Al Raqs Conference 2023 |

As a high-achiever or perfectionist, there's a compulsion to prove oneself...at almost any cost. And the highest cost is a feeling of deep satisfaction.

In this topic, attendees will:

  • Learn how to fully accept their self-worth as untouchable by letting go of productivity as a measure of self-worth
  • Learn how to cultivate trust and embrace uncertainty by letting go of needing to know what to do next
  • Learn how to create big, long-lasting, sustainable change without the imprisonment of all-or-nothing thinking

 

Spending hours a day thinking about whether or not you belong based on your body is not only mentally exhausting, it's eroding your body image, body love, and confidence.

In this topic, attendees will:

  • Learn how to let go of societal, cultural, and inherited body image beliefs
  • Learn how to cultivate a strong sense of self in their own body
  • Learn how to develop a fierce relationship with their body so they can walk into any room emboldened

The only reason we rush to achieving a goal is because we are trying to get out of feeling inadequate or incapable as fast as possible.  Because once we reach our goal, it solves all our problems, right? Then why do we feel so damn tired and depleted once we get there?

In this topic, attendees will:

  • Learn how to release "do it at any and all cost to me" culture
  • Learn how to cultivate a rich and meaningful experience to approaching goals based in love, kindness, and appreciation
  • Learn how to establish a simple and effective routine that turns dreams into reality

Why Choose Samantha Karim?

 

Samantha, a wife and mother of two, has over 20 years of experience teaching, is internationally known on social media, and has won awards for her Belly Dance performances.  Putting all of this experience to use, she is able to not only lead but help women transform the way they see their own lives and deepest desires as valid and worth living to the fullest extent possible..

Her no-bullshit approach is refreshing and light-hearted but also a testament to her authenticity.  What you see and feel is what you get.

After hearing out her lived failures and experiences, first-time acquaintances have often told her, 'you should write a book'...they heard and felt the challenges Samantha had experienced and yet, are shocked to see the transformed Samantha in front of them.

Going through extreme family drama, battling body image lows since a child, and succumbing to people-pleasing as a core identity facet gave Samantha the unique opportunity to become more than her circumstances and subconscious learned ways of being.  She overcame her excuses and situations to create a life of fulfillment, joy, and deep satisfaction.

Her mission is to use her resolve of being in alignment with one's self and transformational skills to empower women to claim their place in this world, be seen, and be themselves unapologetically.

Her core belief is "you have everything you need inside you, right now, to get where you want to go and be who you want to be. You are worth so much."

When the world tells you 'you can't or shouldn't'...tell them 'Bullshit. I get to decide what happens.'
