Coaching Launch – Reflections

bla

bla Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. And welcome back to reflections. This is episode 22. But this is a special episode in that. This is the announcement of the launch of my latest project and a project I've been working on for some time now to fulfill the oath that I made to try to be helpful and to try to provide services where I felt there might be some lacking or something needed. So we have the launch of USIA Evans, coaching.

You Chevron's coaching. My entire plan intent behind this is to provide a space for people,

mostly Muslims, it doesn't matter who comes but provide a platform for brothers and sisters who want to be able to talk to someone who want to be able to talk it out who want to be able to talk through their trauma, talk through their issues in a safe, non judgmental zone, where they can express what they're going through, and then get some real world advice. And even sometimes just an ear to listen to a non judgmental ear to listen. This is the goal of yuusha Evans coaching, this is the goal of coaching.

The way this will be set up is the website is being launched right along with this podcast. You Chevron's coaching.com You can go to you Chevron's coaching.com And you can schedule a one hour zoom session. At the comfort of your own time, there are blocked off times, these are the times that are available when you go to you Chevron's coaching.com and click book a an appointment. Now, you will be taken to the scheduling page, you will choose your own timezone, it will make you choose your timezone, so that you'll know what the times are in your timezone that correlate to mine. And any available open appointment, you can book it. And that will be a one hour zoom session, once you book

it, you will be sent an email with the Zoom link and the time to arrive. And also, you know, a quick follow up to get a brief description of, of, of kind of what you want to cover so that we don't have to do that and waste any of your time. And then you show up to the zoom session, you can do audio, you can do audio and video, the sessions will be recorded and sent to the

the person who has booked the session afterwards, if they need to go back and relook at it and, and really listen to some of the advice or be able to even hear what they said themselves, because that sometimes is a form of healing as well. And all of that will take place in insecure format, in sha Allah Who to Anna. Now, why am I doing this, I'm doing this because I know that through my life experiences I've experienced, I've experienced a large portion of what I see people suffering with today, especially in the Muslim community that is not being addressed, you know, whether it be childhood trauma, whether it be you know, abuse, whether it be domestic violence, you know, whether

it be weaknesses of faith, whether it be you know, you just want to have a coaching session to talk about a new business opportunity that you have, or you want to get started in your own business venture, and you want to talk to someone who's been self employed for

going on 15 years now. And you know, you just want to talk these things out. That is what I'm here for. That is the goal for me to be able to be here is to be able to be here to be a number one listening ear. Number two real world advice, and logical, logical, trying to get you to understand logically why some things are happening, or what is the path that you can go down to not only recover and heal from these things, but grow from them, grow from them, and use them as positions of power and strength rather than positions of weaknesses and detriment to your life. That is the goal of this is to give you the opportunity to book these sessions, and talk out whatever it is that you

might be going through, and to have that non judgmental ear to have that confidentiality that what you say to me will never leave between you and I unless you you know, you want it to be shared with someone else. But that is my ultimate goal is and in order to do this, this is something that I've been thinking about for a long time now is how can I be helpful? The one commodity that I have very short supply of is is time so how do I make my time available because I get questions all the time that people reach out to me and and I want to ask about this trouble going through this trauma or this problem they're having with with their spouse or their family member or you know their parent

or what they went through with a child and how to understand it, how to cope with it or the domestic

And they experienced how to cope with it, handle it and go forward, you know, or the weaknesses of faith they're having, you know, the, the maybe sometimes even crisis of faith. This is also for parents, parents who are having trouble, you know, with their teenage because that's, that's as young as I deal with these teenagers, their teenage to adult children, and they want to schedule a zoom session for them so that I can have a discussion with them. Because all the time have parents reaching out to me, can you talk to my son, can you talk to my, my daughter, can you can you, you know, have a meeting with them to talk to them about their crisis of faith or their doubts or faith,

or whatever it is that they're going through. And the thing that stopped me, the majority of the time is time, I don't I don't have the time. So in order to be able to facilitate a platform where I have the time, this is how I decided to do it, to make these scheduled blocks to where I'm scheduling my time out to be there for someone and give you 100%, undivided attention for that hour that we go through. And if you want to schedule multiple sessions, you're able to do so on the website as well. My recommendation is if you're having serious issues scheduled at least three, four sessions out, because it'll take that long to try to get through everything. So this will be an open

platform to anyone who wants to take advantage of it. Now, this is a paid service. And I tried and I went back and forth, I looked at what everybody else is doing what is the normal in this field, what is the norm for what people are charging for the amount of time, and I wanted to make it as feasible as possible. But as well as making it worth the time that I have to put in because I say this so many times, that if you do not value your own time, which is your most precious commodity, if you don't value your own time, your most precious commodity, then other people will not value your time. So we set it at $75 per hour, $75 per hour. So this is the new platform. And if for some reason you

really really need to have the service you need to talk to someone but you you know you don't, you don't have the ability to pay, then email us email us at You should Evans coaching.com I [email protected] you Chevron's [email protected], which will be right down here in description below, you can email and explain your situation. And we'll find a way to make it happen for you. This is not something I want to cut off for anyone you know, just because they're in abilities will make it happen for you. Also, if where you're at in the world, none of the times that are that are in the schedule work for you, let's just say none of them, none of them were in the schedule for you, then

send an email again, to you Sherman's [email protected] Explain your situation, explain what time might work for you. And we'll try to find a way to make it work, there will be some off schedule on the regular schedule, there will be some off schedule sessions that I have left time aside for that. But that has to be booked privately has to be booked privately because I have to rearrange my schedule to meet those needs. So this is what I want to do. I just I want to as be as helpful as I can to the best of my abilities. And to be here for somebody who wants to talk to someone with real world experience. That is where I'm coming from. This is not

psychiatry sessions. This is not your, your run of the mill therapy sessions. This is life coaching through traumatic experiences through business venture ship entrepreneurship, and any other realm in that in that category. And what are the qualifications I have to do this my life. If you've looked at my podcast lately, and I have not even gone into the deep end yet, but if you've looked at my podcast, if you've seen reflections from the beginning, if you've seen the last episodes when it comes to you know, the issues that I had with my mother, my stepmother, the issues I had, through going to prison, you know, issues I had from from up to down A to Z, you know, there is not much

that someone is going to come to me with that I'm not going to have had some real world experience. And my qualification is that I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still functional.

On a path to healing. I'm using this dark periods of my time this traumatic these traumatic experiences of my life, I'm using them as a means of benefit in a fire a fuel to the fire for me to be able to help others and this is where I will be coming from from an area of personal experience. And then as always, as you've seen it in all of my podcasts etc. relating that back to how we can relate that to the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna and tried to find some peace, try to find some tranquility, try to find some understanding about the plan of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the way he deals with us in our lives, and why do we go through some of the things that we go through

how can we look at the benefit and that is something that I've always tried to do is always to try to look at a situation from many angles and try to find

What is the benefit of this situation? Because I know for sure that Allah subhanho wa taala, anything that he sends towards the believers is good for them is good for them, even the harm that comes to them the the things that he go through it is it is a means of benefit and a means of blessing for them. But it takes a different approach and a different way of viewing and looking at things to be able to see that and rationalize that and logically placed that into your mind and into your heart so that you can go forward with faith, you can go forward with trust, you can go forward with conviction, and use that as a means of positivity in your life, a means of benefit and a tool

at your disposal to deal with things that will come up later on in your life. You know, this is what it's all about this is the entirety of this project is to try to be helpful, because there are going to be people out there who who need to go to real licensed therapy,

maybe cognitive behavioral therapy, I will be using cognitive behavioral therapy. This is something I did study in my studies, secular studies of psychology. But you might need to go to a cognitive behavioral real therapist and there might be a time where someone comes to me and they need psychiatry, they might have personality disorders, there might be something that doesn't explain what's going on, that might need to be dealt with and a chemical imbalance in the brain, when I see these types of things where there might be people who come to me with issues that I have absolutely no experience in at all whatsoever, and it is way out of my league, then I will let that person know

that this is not for me. And I will try to find us a database of resources that I'm looking to compile of Muslim mental health professionals. So if you are watching this and you know of Muslim mental health professionals, whether they do in person or online, then email me at you share Evans [email protected] Give me all of their, their all of their details, how to how to find them, how someone else can find them, so that I can add that to my database, wherein if someone comes to me and they need further help than I am able to offer, then I can refer them to someone else that either operates online, or maybe in person where they're at, based on this searchable database that

I'm trying to create. So this is it you Shipman's coaching, this is my newest project, this is a scary venture for me because it is, you know, taking a leap of faith to block off large portions of my time, and in hopes that there are people out there that that need this service. And if and if they don't, then you know, we'll just move on to the next project. If this is something that, you know, people don't need, and no one comes and no one books to note hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah, then I will continue on and move on to the next thing that's part of entrepreneurship, when you when you work for yourself, you always gotta be ready for the plan B, C, D, E, F, G, all the way through. So

and maybe this is something I'm not good at, maybe maybe the feedback will be you know, brother, you show you're not very helpful at this, maybe you should look into doing something else, then I'll take that advice on board. And we'll move on and work on doing something else in sha Allah Who Tiana. But this is something that, you know, through my personal experience of having talked to so many people throughout the years, in my free time that I had the chance to talk to people with, you know, these types of issues, I have seen that I was able to be helpful in some form of fashion. And the feedback that I've always gotten is that this is something that that I would be decent at. And

something that would really help people. So I'm making this service available, you should Evans coaching.com You can book your session. And all of the ones that are open will be free to you to book you can look out as far as 30 days.

And you can book in as little as 24 hours in advance, you have to book at least 24 hours in advance because I need to know I need to be able to you know schedule my day and schedule my time. And if I'm traveling, then I will block off those periods that I know I cannot do it 30 days in advance is usually when I know when I'm traveling I'll block off those times and those dates were no go to do it. But this is something I can do from my home. We have the studio set up to be able to do this. This is something I can also do while I'm traveling if the time is available, because this is via zoom. So I'm looking forward to this new project in sha Allah may Allah first and foremost male

accept it. If a deed is not accepted by Allah, then it is a worthless deed is a worthless deed as to be accepted by Allah. So first and foremost, I want to do this with sincerity to please Allah subhanho wa Taala by being helpful to his creation, because being helpful to the creation of Allah is servitude to the Creator. It is servitude, it is EBA to Allah subhanahu wa to Allah to serve his creation. So may Allah accept this and allow it to be a means of benefit for people who are hurting people who are struggling. People are going through and they don't know who to talk to. Maybe you're struggling and you've been through trauma and you don't know how to get it out. You don't know who

to talk to. You don't know who to trust, then you can come and talk to me. You can come talk to me and there will never be any judgement. There will never be any

any

The ill feelings, explain your situation. And I will give you the most heartfelt sincere advice in a logical way in a way that you can wrap your head around to help you to process this, to be able to internalize it, then externalize it, be able to try to heal from it and go forward and use it as a means of strength for you. You know, maybe you're going through crisis of faith, and you know, there's things that have popped up that have caused you doubts or whatnot. Talk to me, talk to me, and we'll talk through them, we'll talk through them, rationalize them. And we'll find some answers from the book of Allah and His Son of His Messenger at ESA to a sedan, you know, maybe you're a

parent who is having trouble reaching out to your,

your, your children, teenagers, or even, you know, young adults. And you may be first you want to talk to me privately and explain the whole situation, book a session with me, we'll talk it out. And I'll give you some some heartfelt advice, as as as one parent to another of how to go about trying to deal with this situation. And if it comes to a point where it's like, I might need to speak to them, they will book a session with them as well. And Sharma Hutan. Maybe you are wanting to start a new business, maybe you're wanting to stop working the nine to five and go into entrepreneurship and work for yourself. And you want to try to figure out how does how to start that whole thing, book a

session, and we'll talk it out, we'll find out what it is that you might be able to do to be able to give yourself self sustainability and Sharma who to Anna and free yourself from the corporate rat race, as they say, it's a very freeing feeling. So all of these things are available, all the details are also on the website, you shamans coaching.com I really hope this is a means of benefit to people. Because one thing that I know is that after these two years of almost two years of the pandemic, and not having traveled and having been home, and having you know had more time on my hands, I've seen how much more I can do how much more I'm capable of doing with this time that I

have, and with this online platform that we've created with YouTube and social media and whatnot. And I really, really do not have any plans to go back to hardcore travel like I used to where I was, I was gone more than I was home, that's just not the life for me, I want anymore. And this is a another step forward to making that a reality. Because if this becomes successful, then I will have the ability to to section off this time, full time to be able to be there for you along with the other things that we do. The podcast is not going anywhere. The YouTube streams are not going anywhere. The live streams on Instagram are not going anywhere, the car content is not going

anywhere. You know, all of the things are other projects that are actually in the pipeline that I have not launched yet. I have a number of them. But this one seemed to be the most

important for the time and the period in place that I find myself at now. So if you're someone out there that feels like you could benefit from this service, click on the link right below you shamans coaching.com and book your session. If you feel like you might need more than one because I don't know how quickly they're going to go or not go if you feel like you might need more than one, go ahead and book it out. If you know someone who might be able to benefit from this project and from the sessions, send this to them, send them the website, send them the link and tell them to come and talk to me. Because that's really one of the most healing things that I've found is just being able

to talk to someone who number one might not know you personally. So they don't have any vested interest or any tinted lens at which they're going to view your situation. So you're just in to that person, you can just talk to them and explain to them number one, that's that's that's the first step to healing is getting it out from in here, getting it out from in here and just giving life to and making it a reality that now it's outside of yourself. And now we can look at it in a rational, logical way. We can wait you know according to the deen of Allah and the Sunnah of his messenger Allah Azza wa salaam to the Quran and Sunnah. And also just give you some real world advice of how

maybe I got through some of these things, or other people that I've talked to, in this field,

have gotten through some of these things, the things I've learned in my studies of psychology and things that I've learned through going to therapy myself things that were most beneficial for me when it came to cognitive behavioral change, and how to set schedules for yourself how to set a schedule of healing how to set a plan, you know, because that's one of the things I want to do is to be able to set someone a roadmap of how to get from where they are now, whether that's because of trauma, whether it's because of abuse, whether that's you know, because of

crime crisis of faith and doubts and faith, whether that's they don't know where they want to go in their, their their worldly life and they don't know what steps to take next in their career path or business, you know, to set a roadmap of how you can get from where you are now, to that healing place to where you you are healed to where these things still live with you. This trauma still lives with you. This abuse still lives with you, but it does not control you anymore. It doesn't own you anymore. It doesn't control you

It doesn't, it doesn't creep up in horrible ways and spill out onto your life in ways that you don't want it to spill out onto your life. Because I've already said this many times, if you don't deal with these things, if you try to push them down and hide them in that closet, they are going to come bursting out at some point and they usually come bursting out at times when you're not ready for them to and they come bursting out on people who don't deserve for them to cover that that statement, you know, heal so you don't bleed on people who did not cut you heal yourself so you don't bleed on people who didn't cut you. So this is the platform that I'm going to use and and this

is the project tell me what you think, you know, if you guys think that this is something that will be beneficial drop in the comments and say yes, you should do this. This is this is the one this is a very good project beneficial with a Hamdulillah. May Allah bless you in it. Let me know if you think this is a horrible idea. Everything you show this is not for you, you're not going to do this. This is not something for you. Let me know in the comments. I'm a person who has no problem with constructive criticism. I I'm secure enough in myself that I'm able to take this constructive criticism, as long as it's heartfelt, genuine and can see it insincere. If you're just trolling then

you just get ignored like trolls do. But let me know what you think in the comments down below. And check out the website, you should Emmons coaching.com. And let me know what you think, again, this website has been I've been in the workforce for some time. Now, a lot of backend work had to be done, it will evolve as time goes. But again, I'm a one man show. Almost everything that you see done by me, is done by me. You know, I have some help here and there with some thumbnails for the podcasts and thumbnails of the videos because I'm not a graphic designer, I'm not, I'm not artistic in the lessons other than I can see it up here. I just don't know how to make it happen. But the

filming, the producing the editing, the website, the YouTube, if all of these things that travels, all of this is, you know, a huge Evan show. It's a one man show and and even though it's very hard to do things on your own, it's very hard to do things on your own. I've been around long enough to know that if you want consistency in your work, if you want to be at a point to where you know that you're going to be able to continue to do what you do without, without hiccups without pauses without hesitations, without you know issues, then you have to be able to do it alone. Now I would love if I had a team around what hamdulillah would love it. But I also want to know that no matter

what I can do this on my own, that I can continue this work on my own that if even if everybody who was helping me dropped off the radar, that I can continue to go forward and do this on my own. Because that is how I know it will continue in Sharla with Tiana. So this is the new project. Your Chevron's coaching.com Right after this, you'll see a little clip, where I'll be explaining where you go on the website, how do you hit the booking, it'll just be very short, to show you just what the website looks like. Hit the book, what it looks like. And you can go on from there. And I look forward to seeing some of you in the Zoom sessions. Again, these are going to be private one on one

sessions unless you want somebody else to be there with you. That's absolutely 100% fine as well. But these will be private one on one sessions recorded sent to you and then the copy another copy will be kept on a secure hard drive just in case I need to refer to them later on. You know if someone comes back after a while and I need to refer to what we talked about in the beginning, then these are there and also for the predictions for both myself and the person on the other side of the screen. Again, you can choose to come via voice and just talk even chunk choose to do video. But I will always be there with voice and video. In every session in sha Allah Hutan. I look forward to

seeing you. I look forward to talking to you. I look forward to helping you work out your problems are hurt. I look forward to helping you understand the pain, understand the trauma, understand the hurt, and I look forward to helping you find healing. I look forward to helping you find peace in your heart. I look forward to helping you find peace in your mind. I look forward to helping you find peace in your home in peace in your soul. Because that's all people who have been inflicted with the trauma we want. We just want peace and Islam the end result of Islam of doing Islam of being a Muslim Muslim means to do Islam the end result of of Islam is peace. But you have to know

how to connect the dots you have to know how to connect them dots and and fill in the missing gaps and pieces. And sometimes our traumas sometimes our past, sometimes our difficulties, sometimes our doubts sometimes our weaknesses become a hindrance to us connecting those dots. So I wanted to help you to be able to connect those dots in sha Allah. So I look forward to seeing any of you in one of my sessions. Click on the link below book one. I love you all for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. This is me fulfilling my oath to try to be helpful in any way that I possibly can. And this I think is the highest level of being helpful that I can achieve is dedicating my time dedicating my time

shifting from other things that I'm doing to putting time to do this. This is I think the highest peak of me trying to be able to be helpful and fulfilling my word to help those who are in need, who needs someone to speak to who don't know who they can trust with

Don't know who they feel like they can tell these, you know, these deep dark traumatic events, talk to me, never going to judge you. And I'm most likely going to understand on some level what you've been through and try to help you process it and get through it. And in sha Matana, he'll

look forward to seeing you guys on the next episode of reflections. This was a special episode just to not announce you, Chevron's coaching. From here on we're going to go and start doing some more regular podcast, we're going to talk about anything and everything I feel like talking about that's the point of reflections is me reflecting on either my past, reflecting on things that I see happening that I feel like need to be addressed, and nobody else is addressing them in the way they need to be addressed. So I'm going to address them. And also we're going to continue to go on we talked about the prison tapes, he talked about my domestic violence issues and and issues in my

past. And now we're gonna go on from that and explain, you know, part of this is going to be some tapes here and there of how I got from being that kid who had just gotten out of prison to being the you Chevron's that you see sitting in front of you right here today. And all of the experiences that I've had traveling across the globe, and things that I've seen and things that I've done, this is this is my release, this is my reflections, this is my open space, this is where I can do what I want to do, and be me and live my truth, live my truth, that was one of the biggest things that going into this pandemic, I said, I am not coming back to social media, I am not coming back to

traveling, I am not coming back to speaking, I am not coming back to making content and videos unless I live my truth. And those people who vibe with that truth and who are on the same page Alhamdulillah welcome. And I hope you enjoy you your time here and your time is spent going through my content or watching my live streams or social media or whatever it is. And if you don't like it, and it's not for you, and hamdulillah as well, you can just move right on along and find somebody who fits into your parameters. But I'm here and I'm going to do me regardless, unapologetically, do me and live my truth and try to help those whom I can help. I look forward to seeing you and another
