Let's Get to Know Aisha
What inspired you to start your business, and what keeps you going?
I started my journey into intimacy coaching over a decade ago when I began working in the swingers club. This experience gave me an unparallel deep diet into human connection-why some people saw outside encounters due to unfulfilled needs while others were there to explore fantasies with their partner. Seeing these diverse dynamics, first hand open my eyes to the widespread, lack of true intimacy. And there birth forbidden wayz.
As a social entrepreneur, how does your business positively impact your community?
My business helps people build deeper more authentic connections by improving communication, breaking down, intimacy barriers, and fostering healthier relationships. By normalizing conversations around intimacy and desire, fetishes and more. On my podcast Forbidden Wayz I create a more connected emotionally aware community where people feel seen heard and fulfilled.
Can you share a time when you took a significant risk in your business? What did you learn from that experience?
About four years ago, I had to lose my corporate position. I took a huge risk. I invested my last 4000 after buying our property into building Forbidden Waze. I went through multiple logos coaches, webpages, and more. But the biggest less I learn was a success comes from on weighing belief and my vision. As long as I stay true to my gift, helping people deep in their connections and normalizing, intimacy and all its forms-I knew it would work. That wrist wasn’t just an investment in my business. It was an investment in my purpose.

Personally, it’s about living, authentically, embracing intimacy, and all his forms and continuously growing in my business. Success means helping others breakdown barriers, communicate fearlessly, and experience the kind of passion and closeness that transformed relationship relationships.
What’s the "why" behind your business? What motivates you to keep pushing forward despite challenges?
The why behind my business is simple-connection. I’ve seen firsthand how lack of intimacy and open communication can break people while true connection can transform lives. I’m driven by passion to help others embrace their desires. Communicate without fear and experience deeper more fulfilling relationships. Despite the challenges, what keeps me pushing forward, is knowing that every breakthrough every couple that rekindle their passion and every person who finally feels seen and understood as a testament to the impact of my work, this isn’t just a business. It’s my purpose. Obedience keeps me going. If God did not give me this, I would not have to keep going, but since He has gifted me with this business, I must do my best to steward it in the most efficient way possible, regardless of challenges.

I see for better ways, evolving into a global movement-hosting transformative workshops, and some of the world’s most romantic destinations, where people can escape explore in deep in their intimacy.
