Money. Pressure. Identity. And the £75 moment that changed everything.

In this raw and revealing first episode of Becoming Iconic, Shalah shares the untold story of how her business really began—not with confidence or clarity, but with panic, purpose, and the decision to stop just surviving.

She opens up about growing up watching her parents work themselves to the bone, landing a six-figure corporate role that still didn’t lead to financial freedom, and the breaking point that led to her first £75 sale—what she now calls the beginning of her Million-Pound Mission.

This episode is for the Muslim woman who knows she’s meant for more. For the one tired of choosing between career, motherhood, faith and wealth. For the woman quietly praying for a sign.

This is your sign.

You’ll walk away with a powerful reframe on purpose, wealth, and what it really means to build a business that answers another woman’s dua.
