“I was told I didn't matter, that my only value was in being a good wife and “Achi-Bachi.” But I refused to accept that. I broke free from centuries-old cultural conditioning and trauma and created a new path – the Jamali Method. Jamali is a mission and movement to bring freedom and purpose to Muslim women around the globe; to empower them to break free of the chains of societal and cultural oppression, and step into leadership – for their family, community, and businesses.”Meet Eram Saaed, the world's #1 coach for Professional Muslim women, a catalyst for change, empowerment, abundance and connection bridged by Islamic principles with modern leadership.Born in Pakistan, she was raised in a culture where women’s voices don’t matter and are expected to be silent and submissive. After two failed marriages, physical and emotional abuse, and being financially bankrupt, Eram hit rock bottom. It was then, in her darkest hour, she discovered the infinite wisdom of Allah and developed a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand approach that has transformed her into a global leader. Today, Eram is trusted by and has impacted over 23 million Muslim women worldwide, empowering them to balance faith and freedom. With her daughter Natasha by her side, they offer guidance, tools, accountability, and support to help them achieve clarity, purpose, courage, dignity, self-love, justice, abundance, and freedom bridged with faith.Welcome to the movement.Abundance creates peace.The Jamali Method focuses on three foundations: Jamali Freedom helps you find clarity, confidence and independence regardless of past obstacles and adversity.

And there are five more essential insights in this episode that EVERY entrepreneur can benefit from, whether or not you’re a man, woman or Muslim woman. KEY TAKEAWAYSEram was raised Muslim in a conservative and religious family and faced significant challenges, including gender inequality and societal injustices.Her first and second marriages were abusive, but the turning point came when she resolved to protect her daughter and build a better life.Without a college degree, Eram started at Chase Manhattan Mortgage and rose to become the highest-producing loan officer in her branch. She made $22,500 in one month - which laid the foundation for her Jamalis of financial independence, self-confidence and leadership. A sabbatical in Pakistan led to viral videos that catapulted her into global recognition, where she gained 100 million views in 60 days during a personal crisisShe then built the first version of the Jamali Love program upon identifying a major need.The Jamali Method includes three transformative programs: Jamali Freedom, Jamali Purpose, and Jamali Leadership.Eram’s focus has been on building financial independence and purposeful living.
