Leading through life.
Resources for every stage of the journey.
I share stories and create spaces for courage, healing, and growth—from helping a child get back up to encouraging an adult to take their next step toward purpose.
“No matter where you are in your journey, keep leading through life.”
The heart behind the books
From pain
to purpose.
Face It. Heal It. Grow Forward.
I’m Dr. Wajeehah Al-Uqdah—an author, leadership consultant, teen coach, and mother of three sons, based in the Dallas area.
My memoir, Turn the Page: Grow from Pain to Purpose, shares my journey from incarceration to transformation. That journey continues to shape the encouragement I offer through my books, journals, and workbooks.
Through Lead Through Life, my mission reaches across generations: helping children discover courage, young people build confidence, and adults reflect, heal, and grow. I believe there is power in getting back up—and in reaching back to help someone else.
I received an honorary doctorate in humanitarianism in 2025. My work is rooted in lived experience, service, and the belief that our next chapter can hold new possibilities.
