I organised a team meeting for my colleagues yesterday and in the Ice breaker session, I asked people to talk about their greatest fears. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My greatest fear is failure. The fear of failure pushes me to be exceptional everyday but, it’s also the thing that stops me from taking the plunge a lot of times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The plan this year is to #DoItAfraid - and when the fear creeps in, I’ll make sure to remind myself why I started!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What is your greatest fear and how do you overcome it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MidWeekMotivation #ContentCreator #Blogger #NaomisParlour
For decades, many Muslim women believed they had to choose between their identity and their belief in gender equality. It was an impossible choice—one that involved betraying either their faith or their feminist consciousness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I reached out to fellow Muslimah Nimah Arigbabu (@msnemah) to share her thoughts on Feminism in Islam. Nimah is a Foreign Policy Analyst and Co-founder of the YNPF Initiative. She is very passionate about gender equality and debunking myths about Feminism in Islam. Nimah has experience in Policy development at International and Domestic levels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #feminism #Islam #forwomen #womensrights #empoweringwomen #debunkingmyths
Just a subtle reminder that consistency is key. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s snowing really bad in Darlington today and I will be #workingfromhome. I hope the weather is better wherever you are. Have a great week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MondayMotivation #SnowDay #SuccessMindset
‘Day in the Life’ series explores the professional lives of working women - women sharing some insight on what they do and how they manage their day-to-day work lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Abimbola Alabede (@abimbola.aa) who started her career in the Civil service 6 years ago, talks about how she proactively goes about effecting change in her community. Bimbo is a #policymaker who is passionate about #education. She aims to create an environment where #BAME children in deprived areas have access to quality education.

Physical activity is great for your body and research has shown that regular #exercise can have a #positiveimpact on #mentalwellbeing. As someone who swims weekly, I always look forward to the feel-good endorphins I get post-swim. Doing as little as a 30mins walk daily can help boost your general health and wellness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spoke with Aisha Arigbabu, fitness enthusiast who shared things she wish she knew when she first decided to pursue a healthier lifestyle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fitness #keepingfit #wellbeing #wellness ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *All posts on Naomi’s Parlour are edited by Ife Agboola
There is no denying that now more than ever, there is an unspoken pressure on #women to have and do everything all at once. That pressure is felt immensely when we become #mothers and have not only our lives to juggle, but also the lives of our children. With the overwhelming message being that “you can have it all”, why would any educated and “woke” woman choose to “just stay at home” to raise kids? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mercy Haruna (@immeiko) made that choice. I first met Mercy when she curated a blog on #motherhood. At the time I was pregnant with my first child and was looking to connect with other mums. Since our first chat a few years ago, we’ve grown to be really good friends. Mercy is a multi talented woman - she has a BA in Visual Communication, an MA in Photography. She’s also a Portrait & Documentary photographer, Content creator and Co-presenter on BBCs Parentland podcast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, she shares with us common misconceptions people have about Stay at Home Mums. Make sure you grab a coffee as it’s an interesting read. 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in @naomisparlour bio 🙂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stayathomemom #feminism #choices #motherslove #motivating #motherhood #sahmlife
Coming next week.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Misconceptions about being #SAHM ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do they really do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @immeiko will be talking to us about common misconceptions she’s faced being a Stay at Home Mum to two lovely children 💞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #motherhood #SAHM #breakingstereotypes

I remember when the idea for Naomi’s Parlour came to me. It was a cold day in October and I was on the train with my good friend @chroniclesofafamilysolicitor. We were on our way home from a Women’s Retreat we’d organised with @ireachminds ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I left that conference inspired and I wanted to have a space where more women could feel the same way. What better way than to create a platform where we could connect through sharing our own stories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then the self doubt kicked in, Impostor syndrome did it’s thing but I pushed through. I remember doing my Q1 blog plan and saying to myself - I’ll be fine if I can reach 500 views monthly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I really couldn’t have done it without you guys - every like, every share is making a difference in someones life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for engaging with me and I promise to keep the content coming... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to celebrating the little wins 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womensupportingwomen #forwomen #empoweringwomen #blogger #bloggersofinstagram
