Discovering a New Calling
The journey to becoming a spiritual life coach is often deeply personal, filled with self-discovery, transformation, and the courage to pursue one’s true calling. In this episode of The Inspiring Coaches Show, we sit down with Abdulhamid Hafiz, a passionate individual who is navigating his path into the world of coaching, blending his business background with his deep-rooted interest in spirituality and personal growth.
From Business to Coaching: Finding a New Purpose
Like many aspiring coaches, Hamid’s journey began in a different field—business and supply chain management. While he held professional roles in various companies, he always felt a void, a sense that something was missing. It wasn’t until an unexpected career shift led him to pause and reflect that he realized he needed to pursue a more fulfilling path.
Hamid took time off to explore his passions, strengths, and aspirations. He engaged in deep self-reflection, sought guidance from coaches, and eventually discovered coaching as his true calling. The more he learned about coaching, the more he realized it aligned with his natural ability to support, listen, and guide others toward growth.
Integrating Spirituality into Coaching
Even after completing his initial life coach training, something still felt incomplete. It was through further self-exploration that he identified the missing piece—spiritual coaching. Deeply inspired by Islamic spiritual traditions and universal spiritual wisdom, Hamid now focuses on helping individuals:
- Connect deeply with God and their spiritual essence.
- Heal from their past experiences.
- Find hope, meaning, and purpose in their lives.
He believes that coaching is more than just personal development—it’s a transformative journey toward living with intention, harmony, and excellence

- Training & Certification: Completing coaching programs, gaining credentials, and continuously learning to enhance his expertise.
- Self-Discovery: Understanding his unique gifts, strengths, and the value he brings to clients.
- Building a Brand: Creating meaningful content that inspires self-reflection and spiritual growth through social media, voice-over work, and public speaking.
