What I’ve learned about cofounder breakups from a decade+ in startup land After leaving my YC startup in 2022, and being in Silicon Valley for many years first attending Stanford and then working in startups including Stripe, I was surprised to learn how common cofounder…
Writing this book I have goosebumps because I have an odd feeling this is so, so much bigger than me. It’s about feminism & colonialism & lean in & capitalism & prestige & self esteem. I was just a young woman trying to crawl my way to happiness! Didn’t realize the web I attacked
As a stylist I take so many others shopping, I forgot how fun it is to take myself shopping ✨🪄💫
Slowly remembering how epic and fun New York City is
I’ve always valued independent thinking (I became an atheist in Pakistan, freedom of mind was v imp to me) and that’s probably what drew me to Silicon Valley. But shouldn’t be contrarian just for the sake of it. Funnily I am liberal by Pakistani standards and conservative by SF.
Can I have an LLM of my highest self so I can just ask her what to do directly
apparently every creator knows this
Btw NYC friends (esp writers): if you’re looking for something to do today, the Lahore Literary Fest is having its NYC pop up all day at 725 Park Ave. it’s really cool esp for people who love reading and writing!
The most beautiful learning from life coach certification thus far is that we all have the answers within us, we just might need help finding them
Small thing, but these days when I find myself saying “can’t wait to catch up!” I really, genuinely mean it. Bc I only hang out w people who genuinely feel good for me to be around now. Previously I had some “shoulds” around keeping old dynamics alive past their expiration date
Takeaways from day #1 of life coach training :) - Difference between coaching and therapy! Coaching looks to the present and future to help you reach your goals. Therapy focuses on past traumas and painful events that might be affecting you today. - It’s amazing what a…
This keeps coming up and it’s so cringe but also hilarious but also real: Asian parents being jealous of each other’s kids
Btw I am becoming a certified life coach this week! AMA :)
This week’s “death / rebirth” is about reinventing myself, shedding old identities and laying the old Laila to rest in Lahore before flying back to New York <3

i ran 17 miles last saturday in LA i’m doing my first marathon June 2 in San Diego i feel like everyone who actually trains gets injured, so my “training protocol” is to add 4 miles every run hope this works
ran an untrained half marathon because meetings all day gave me the zoomies and the GGB was looking bodacious
get some sun, move your body and eat fruits and sweet potatoes and all things nourishing, drink those herbs, minimize blue light, oil your skin and hair and you will look the most vital you have ever looked.
used to be a girl who cried a lot. not anymore. no longer an overwhelmed girl. no longer operating from an unstable nervous sysyem. now i cry for romantic purposes only.
your thoughts can open up whole new worlds for you. to experience a different world, keep choosing different thoughts for a while until it all materializes.
i rarely feel envy towards another woman. women can only inspire me. they can only make me thank God for making us cross our paths.
for a woman to attract healthy love, it would be really good for her to let go of her wounds around men. to stop complaining about men. to have faith in the existence of divine men.
I think I have found a use of the word @paulg would approve of
@lailachima ah super cute and love this dress! is this Mango?
if you keep talking about what happened, journaling about what happened, analyzing it all over and over again, you will keep living in that same story too.
when you remember your divinity, you start to realize how ridiculous it is to remain in spaces where your magic is constantly made to forget.
We often forget that doing the little things every day results in magic. So, do the little things. You won't regret it. Do it for your future self, you'll thank yourself later
