I was born on a sunny summer day in Los Angeles, California, and was raised in the beautiful city of South Pasadena. At a very young age, it was clear to everyone that I was not like the rest. At the time, nobody knew what to make sense of me, but eventually we all caught on. Growing up gay in a Muslim, Middle Eastern household was no easy feat. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery is one thing; learning to love what you discover in a world that might not feel the same is a whole other beast. These general life struggles aren’t just a “gay” experience. Many of us feel victimized by being born into situations and circumstances we had no control over. Some of us are born into families that don’t have the necessary tools to set us up for success, and others are born into a class system that feels impossible to break out of.

Whatever your personal circumstances may be, you have the power to alter your course and live the dream life you deserve. Flourish and Leisure was created to share the tools that helped me find my joy. Today, I’m absolutely in love with every aspect of my life. My job, my home, my family & friends, my financial freedom, and everything in between. I travel the world for fun, have great relationships with outstanding people, and am the most fully realized and self-expressed version of myself. I’m hungry to share Flourish & Leisure with the world because this initiative, at its core, is here to make people feel their absolute best. When you feel your best, only the best situations and circumstances begin to unfold for you, and when this happens, your life instantly begins to change for the better. Happy people who love their lives only bring greatness to the world around them.

I want to transform what life coaching means to people who have outdated thought patterns about it. I want Flourish & Leisure to be an accessible resource for people who need it most. I want to transform the way life occurs for people who may feel stagnant or unlucky. These tools have transformed my life and have brought me so much joy, opportunity, and abundance. From being featured in a New York Times best-selling book to full spreads in prominent newspapers like the LA Times, incredible opportunities are just around the corner for anyone who creates a space for them. Flourish & Leisure Life Coaching is a “one-stop shop” platform to help you feel your best in whatever way works for you. Through music, YouTube videos, chatboxes, or even personalized sessions, there are so many different ways to bring clarity and transformation to areas that matter most to you Lastly, I just want to thank you deeply for being here. If you see this resource as something beneficial for your life or anyone else’s, use it and share it. And if you’re just stopping by, enjoy all of the 80’s goodness my amazing team and I have created (this is quite literally what the inside of my brain looks like, and I’m obsessed). I’m so grateful to be seen by you, thanks for being here.

All my love,
Brandon
