overcoming fear: The High Performer’s Journey Through Fear to Fulfilment

The Struggle with Fear Among High Performers

Overcoming fear and not allowing it to hinder our success is a skill us High Performers want to master in January.

Remembering the Past: How Fear Held Us Back

This is because we know how fear held us back in the last 12 months. We remember distinctly how it stopped us achieving what we wanted to.

The Impact of Fear on Our Lives and Decisions

Of course, there were times that we did not listen to that fear but we regret the times we did. That fear usually is to do with our in-built survival mechanism in our brain that tells us that if we really say what we want to say we will be disowned, kicked out of the tribe.

The Consequences of Letting Fear Dictate Our Actions

We stop saying what we really want to our loved ones, to ourselves, to God, and we stop selling what we really want to sell because we think we will lose business because our audience our loyal customer base will not understand the new service or product. So we stop creating what we want to create because we think we will be laughed at by our competitors and colleagues for that crazy idea.

But inside we feel something inside dies.

We still are successful but are we living a fulfilled life?

Overcoming Fear: The Path of Emotional Alchemy

We feel our hearts are breaking and our souls are chained because we don’t want to sabotage our success. But that is not success, is it? So how do you overcome fear and not allow it to hinder you? Well by embarking on the emotional alchemy journey of course!

High Performers’ Journey: From Workaholism to Conscious Living

Most of the high performers that have hired me are guided by me on this journey. A journey I went on in late 2017 to early 2018. It is a journey that most conscious individuals go on not just those who have worked with me.

Diving Deep into Personal Desires and Feelings

When you become conscious as a recovering workaholic or recovered workaholic that you are addicted to work and what a devastating impact that it is having on your life that is what I am talking about.

Connecting to Our Bodies and Overcoming Fear

You see us high achievers and high performers most of us are workaholics. Addicted to work and addicted to personal development. Working on ourselves we do with diligence.

The Spiritual Alchemy Quest: A Guide to Personal Growth

But we don’t usually go deep to really understand what we really want. That we cannot do. That we find difficult to do.

Embarking on the Emotional Alchemy Journey for Transformation

Because that means we have to sit with our feelings and feel our feelings. That feels very scary actually feeling because most of our lives we have run away from feeling the feelings. When we embark on the spiritual alchemy quest this is what I guide you to do.

Inviting You to Join the Spiritual Alchemy Quest

Sit with the feelings and dive into them but before you do that I invite you to visualize a life where you raise your standards in every single area of your life. Not to settle for second best. If you are interested in embarking on the spiritual alchemy quest then it is easy book a consultation with me The Muslim Alchemist.

Taniya Hussain qualified as a Social Worker in 1991 from Coventry University in England, UK. She has been working on the front lines in London UK, consistently holding space for individuals and families in chaos and crisis for three decades especially, children and young people on the margins of society. Taniya studied Psycho-dynamic counselling from 1991 to 1993 at Goldsmiths College in London. Taniya met Sheikha Halima Krausen in 1992 and has been studying Islam with her ever since especially Mystical Islam, Tassawuf (Sufism) and walks on the Chisti path. Taniya fuses Jungian Pyschology and Islamic Psychology and this fusion can best be understood if you read her book Dancing with Darkness which is available on Amazon. It became a Best Seller on Amazon in the UK, U.S and France in April 2025. The book tells the story of Tamara Alvi, a fictional charachter and is a psychological thriller and a story of healing. Taniya started her coaching and consulting business in January 2018 and she works mainly with High Achievers and High Performers and High Performing Leaders, offering reflective spaces since 2018 and what she refers to as THE REFLECTIVE SPACE. Taniya since starting her busines discovered that she is a powerful healer and was shocked that clients were relieved from pain even though they have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Taniya is delighted to have discovered Paceology, which is the detailed study of PACE. She is the first paceologist. She noticed when working with high performers when you slow down in one area of your life, this causes you to speed up in another area and vice cersa thus leading to increased levels of productivity, creativity, clarity and energy. She brands herself as the Muslim Alchemist because she really is The Muslim Alchemist as she guides you to transfom the base, in other words the shit that you have experienced into GOLD whether that is love of yourself or God or another human being or a healthier body or a life where you feel at peace and calm and fulfilled or more energy or more money. You definintely will feel lighter, more freer and more clearer even if you book one consultation with her or several sessions. Taniya has a very holistic approach when working with individuals and works with you on multiple layers, the emotional, the psychological, the social, the physical, the mental and the spriritual. She uses stories from the Quran and the Bible when working with clients on a one to one basis or in group workshops as well as breathwork, body scanning, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming, motivational interviewing. systems theory, neuro science. She is trained in multiple modalities as well as using her own Paceology and insists on offering her clients a trauma informed and trauma responsive service. She is constantly integrating her knowledge of the Quran and Bible with her vast social work experience and training. Taniya's extensive ability of applying psycho-dynamic theory to organisational settings, teams and groups as well as to individuals results in those who attend her sessions or workshops as feeling lighter and more energised. Taniya uses skillfully her understanding of the Shadow, that Jung constantly talked about and her Mystical Training. She also has integrated her passion for inter-faith dialogue and the archetypes that Jung often refers to, come alive in her one to one sessions and her group workshops thus resulting in individuals feeling more freer and fulfilled after they stop working with her. Taniya just does not provide clarity she WAKES you up to. Taniya has a great skill in being able to see the blind spots in others and does this in a non judgemental way and a way that you feel safe. She also "untangles energetic knots" (a term she uses for Shadow) in your body to promote healing from mental and physical disease. Clients usually are healed in a short amount of time because she pinpoints the memory, the event, the thought that first caused the disease. She also provides one to one sessios or training workshops to social work teams, school, secure and prison estate on youth justice, knife crime prevention as well asidentification and prevention of early onset of burnout. Taniya has three sons, who were born in 1996, 2001 and 200 and lives in Surrey, England and when she is not coaching or writing songs, blogs and poems, she loves to spend time, travelling, walking, listening to music, watching films or playing cricket. She speaks fluent English and Urdu and basic German and French and is learning Arabic and Hebrew.
