I was thousands in debt and then was sacked – now I’ve turned my life around and own a six-figure business, here’s how

A WOMAN who was sacked after piling up thousands in debt has revealed how she turned her life around - and built a six-figure business.

Nadia Khaled, 24, lost her as an addiction counsellor just one year ago.

She said: "Out of nowhere, I got fired from my job for posting a TikTok that I had filmed at work – and I had no idea that was coming.

"I was depressed because I really couldn't see a way out, I hated what I was doing and there was no light at the end of the tunnel.

"I enrolled into a Master's programme to become a clinical therapist and I basically got a job as an addictions counsellor to kind of solidify that path.

"For several years, I was going to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt paying for this degree that I obviously could not afford.

Nadia added: "I was miserable, I was swamped with homework 24/7.

“I was so burnt out all the time.

"I was somehow still super tight on money - even though I was working 40 hours a week and sometimes a few times a month doing an overnight shift at my job.

"I was resentful because I was going into debt for this Master's degree that I didn't even enjoy."

Nadia's life began to change when she started a side hustle as a TikTok "alignment coach".

She said: "I started seeing patterns between my belief systems and the experiences that I was attracting and so I had this lightbulb moment.

"My mood was directly correlated to what I was experiencing in my everyday life.

"And then when I started saying affirmations and doing the full manifestation rituals to kind of boost my mood and align with what I wanted to experience I started having better days.

"I started attracting things very intentionally and that's kind of when I started making TikToks."

'DELUSIONAL'

When Nadia was fired for filming a TikTok at work, she interpreted as a sign that she should pursue success on the app full-time.

She said: "I decided to take that as a sign from the universe.

"I was, like, 'You know what, this is my sign that it's time to go full throttle with the things that I want to do'."

Now Nadia rakes in six figures through her coaching business - with one client "manifesting" a dream apartment in New York.

She said that "affirmations" and "manifestation rituals" are all about being "delusional".

She said: "Being delusional is all about breaking the ceiling, because the beauty of it is that there is infinite potential, you can create any experience that you want.

"You can have any life trajectory that you want it just requires you to be delusional at the beginning and assume that just because you can't see it yet, doesn't mean it's not possible.

"Watch how everything else just falls right into place."
