Welcome! Get ready, because in this weeks episode you’re in for a real treat, with our guest Hiba Balfaqih, psychologist, ShEO, serial entrepreneur and coach. Packed full of tactical, actionable steps and hacks that you can implement today, the same ones that Hiba uses when coaching her clients, this episode is not one to miss!
After the loss of two family members and a diagnosis with a chronic disease, Hiba decided to change her life and live it on her own terms.
With a masters degree in psychology, Hiba embraces her no-so-typical approach to psychology and coaching, with her goal and tactics being very action and results driven, rather then you’re standard theoretical based psychology.
Apart from her work as a physiologist and coach, Hiba is also a serial entrepreneur, having set up businesses since she was 16. She is the ShEO, of The Start Up Factory, a one stop shop for all business needs, focusing on helping the average person get all the knowledge and support they need to start a business.
She is also the co-founder of The Smash Room, a space offering people the chance to vent their pent up rage and anger by demolishing things using their weapon of choice, such as a baseball bat, in a safe and controlled environment. The Smash Room was inspired by a difficult time in Hiba's life, a time when the traditional, more peaceful mechanisms of coping just weren't cutting it. So she took old junk into the backyard and smashed it to bits, and it made her feel massively better. Right then, came that lightbulb moment. She then teamed up with her best friend Ibrahim to set up The Smash room. now after operating for almost 2 years, Hiba is working on franchising the brand internationally, from Saudi Arabia, to England, To South Africa .
Hiba is also the co-host of her own podcast show Fumans which focuses on unearthing the realities of being human, that not everything is picture perfect, and just keeping the conversation genuine and real, with her co-host.
