    Fadhwa Yusuf is a transformational speaker, life coach, author, and founder of The Gems of Life, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals to break through limitations, heal deeply, and live with clarity, purpose, and abundance. Her work blends personal transformation with emotional intelligence and compassionate leadership, helping individuals and organizations cultivate resilience, rewrite limiting narratives, and lead with confidence.

    Fadhwa’s journey into coaching and speaking was born from her own lived experiences. After facing immense personal adversity—including becoming jobless and homeless with two young children—she embarked on a courageous journey of healing and unlearning. Through radical self-investment and faith in her purpose, she not only rebuilt her life from the ground up but also transformed that pain into a mission to uplift others. Today, her voice resonates globally, inspiring audiences to release fear, embrace their worth, and unlock their fullest potential.

    Her approach is rooted in emotional resilience, mindset transformation, and trauma-informed leadership. She specializes in helping individuals navigate personal and professional obstacles through tools that promote inner clarity and sustainable change. Through workshops, keynote talks, and one-on-one coaching, she equips others with the confidence to lead, the courage to grow, and the clarity to thrive. She has guided organizations to build value-based driven services and cultivate compassionate, psychologically safe workplaces where both people and performance flourish.

    Fadhwa is the author of Going The Distance: No Parts Left Behind—a powerful reflection on her life story and a roadmap for those ready to transform their pain into purpose. She is also the author of 5 Myths That Keep You Stuck: The Shocking Truth About Confidence, which dismantles common misconceptions and offers insight-driven strategies to reclaim confidence. As a media personality and host on LuvBay Radio, she has used her platform to share transformational stories and offer practical tools for navigating life’s challenges with grace and grit.

    Her commitment to professional excellence is supported by extensive personal development and training. Fadhwa has completed advanced programs with world-renowned mentors including Bob Proctor and Dr. Gabor Maté. She has invested deeply in retreats, workshops, and continuing education—always expanding her capacity to guide others through meaningful change. This continuous learning fuels her dynamic, evidence-informed approach that bridges healing with high-impact leadership.

    Fadhwa has been recognized for her inspiring work with multiple awards and honors. She is a recipient of the Employee of the Year Award, the prestigious Torchbearers Award, and was nominated for the Women of Strength Award. She has also been named among the 100 Global Influential Leaders to Watch, a testament to the depth, impact, and authenticity of her work.

    Today, Fadhwa continues to inspire as a sought-after speaker, coach, and consultant. Through her books, masterclasses, and speaking engagements, she helps others reclaim their power and create aligned, meaningful success. Whether addressing corporate leaders, educators, aspiring authors, or emerging coaches, her presence is a powerful invitation to rise, lead, and live with purpose.
