In Episode 30 of The Success Behind The Numbers, I’m joined by Maya Bahena and her coach, Mohammed Rizvi, for an intimate conversation about redefining leadership, reclaiming identity, and rebuilding with intention. 
This is the story of a business owner who finally gave herself permission to slow down, get support, and stop doing it all alone. Maya went from being everywhere at once to being exactly where she needed to be—focused, aligned, and in control of her vision. And behind that transformation? A coach who helped her reconnect to her purpose and sharpen her focus.
We talk about burnout, boundaries, and why coaching isn’t just for business plans—it’s for becoming the best version of yourself. Maya’s growth shows us that when you realign with your “why,” you don’t have to chase success—it starts chasing you.
This episode is for every leader who’s been stuck in the grind, wondering if there’s a better way. There is. And it starts here.
