Haja Rahim shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Haja, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Yes, recently a client told me how much my words changed her perspective — she said it felt like a veil was lifted. That made me feel both proud and deeply humbled. On the lighter side, I laugh at myself often, especially when I act like a T. rex trying to grab my cat. She’ll immediately move closer to the floor because she knows I can’t reach her with my tiny T. rex arms. I think laughter is truly good for the soul — and my laugh usually encourages others to smile and join in.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Haja Rahim, and I am the founder of Manifest Beauty Skincare and Manifest Beauty Spa & Skincare—brands born from my passion for self-care, holistic wellness, and the art of transformation. What began as my journey to create products that truly nourished the skin has blossomed into a comprehensive spa experience and a vegan, CBD-infused skincare line, artfully designed to soothe, hydrate, and rejuvenate.
What makes Manifest Beauty Skincare truly unique is our commitment to both luxury and integrity. Every product is handcrafted in small batches and thoughtfully formulated to be vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and infused with positive affirmations—because beauty should nourish more than just the skin; it should uplift the spirit. Every creation embodies a touch of radiance, a spark of confidence, and the warmth of self-love.
Our spa extends this same philosophy, offering a sanctuary where everyone can unwind, recharge, and reconnect with their inner beauty. It’s more than a place of pampering—it’s a space of empowerment and renewal.
Beyond skincare, I created Awaken Bliss—a transformational coaching experience designed to help women step fully into their power. Through mindset work, manifestation practices, and self-love rituals, I guide women to align with their highest selves, cultivate unshakable confidence, and manifest the lives they deeply desire.
Currently, I’m expanding our skincare collections, introducing new holistic spa services, and growing Awaken Bliss beyond what I ever imagined—a movement of women embodying abundance, beauty, and empowerment. My mission is simple yet powerful: to create products, spaces, and experiences that transform the skin while nurturing the soul
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I grew up believing that strength meant hiding how I felt — never showing emotion, never asking for help. I thought being ‘strong’ meant building walls to protect myself. Now I understand that true strength comes from softness — from allowing myself to feel, to be open, to be vulnerable. Vulnerability, isn’t weakness; it’s where our deepest power and connection live begins. It’s in those moments of honesty and openness that we discover who we truly are.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I finally stopped hiding my pain once I recognized the incredible power within sharing my story. It didn’t just help me—it resonated with others, showing them they weren’t alone in their struggles. Transforming my past into a source of strength became my mission, and that’s when I discovered coaching. I began using my own journey to guide women toward their breakthroughs, helping them find their voice and reclaim their power. That pivotal moment was not just freeing; it was profoundly liberating, igniting a passion in me to inspire others to transform their pain into purpose.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
Love has the power to heal, energy drives everything, and gratitude unlocks unimaginable opportunities. These principles quietly influence my decisions, shaping the way I live my life.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What will you regret not doing?
I would regret not sharing my story fully — not writing every book that my soul feels called to write, and not creating spaces where others can find healing through their own stories. Each of these feels like a sacred part of my purpose. I believe that when we embrace and express our stories with honesty and love, we don’t just heal ourselves — we give others permission to do the same. That’s the real magic of storytelling: it connects, transforms, and reminds us that we’re never alone in our journey.
