Every successful journey has its challenges, and Mahlagha’s path was no exception. She opened up about a pivotal moment: learning to say no. “Initially, I struggled with this because I was worried about letting others down,” she admitted. But with time, she recognized the importance of staying true to herself. “What made a difference was trusting my instincts and surrounding myself with people who truly had my best interests at heart.”
Her advice to anyone facing similar struggles? “Pause and reflect on whether an opportunity aligns with your true desires. Saying no is not a sign of missing out—it’s a powerful way to focus on what truly matters. Prioritize your peace and authenticity. Staying true to your values is always the end goal.”
As we wrapped up our conversation, I asked Mahlagha what message she wanted to share with our readers for the new year. Her response was heartfelt and empowering: “If you’re aiming for a healthier and happier life in 2025, remember to embrace the journey by taking one step at a time. It’s those small, everyday choices that truly accumulate and create lasting change.”

Her words carried the weight of lived experience. “Focus on what uplifts you, whether that’s moving your body more, improving your diet, or carving out time to unwind. Celebrate every small victory, as each one matters, and remind yourself that it’s about progress, not perfection.”
Mahlagha Jaberi’s journey is a reminder that life is an adventure—one best lived with authenticity, balance, and a commitment to self-love. As we step into 2025, let’s take inspiration from her story and make this year our most fulfilling yet.
