On writing letters to her followers, Dr. Fahim describes the process as an honor: “Readers and followers have been asking me to write personalized letters for them. Some ask for letters to inspire them to be more patient, others ask for letters to inspire them to let go. I am truly fortunate to be asked to do this for my readers. My letters are a mixture of poetry, my experiences, and some of my quotes. When I write a letter, I do so mindfully. I dedicate that moment entirely to writing a heart-felt message to the reader who needs it. I receive messages almost every day requesting these letters, and I’ve been trying to write two a week. I do this because I truly care about my readers and followers. All I want is for them to know that they are not alone.”
Women who need help with improving their levels of self-esteem and self-worth will find helpful solutions and guides on Dr. Fahim’s digital platforms.
